Ode to Green Day

Okay so on the aforementioned new Weird Al CD, he does a rendition of "American Idiot" by Green Day, but it's affectionately titled "Canadian Idiot" and while I'm mildly offended by some of the stereotypes, it's just too funny not to post, so here ya go.

American Idiot - Weird Al Yankovic
Don't wanna be a Canadian idiot;
Don't wanna be some beer-swillin' hockey nut.
And do I look like some frostbitten hosehead?
I never learned my alphabet from A to zed.

They all live on donuts and moose meat,
And they leave the house without packin' heat;
Never even bring their guns to the mall.
And you know what else is too funny?
Their stupid Monopoly money.
Can't take 'em seriously at all.

Well maple syrup and snow's what they export;
They treat curling just like it's a real sport.
They think their silly accent is so cute;
Can't understand a thing they're talkin' a-boot.

Sure they got their national healthcare,
Cheaper meds for prime rates and clean air..
Then again, well they've got Celine Dion.
Eat their weight in Kraft macaroni,
And dream of drivin' a Zamboni
All over Saskatchewan!

Don't wanna be a Canadian idiot.
Won't figure out the temperature in Celsius.
See the map? They're hoverin' right over us;
Tell you the truth it makes me kinda nervous.

Always hear the same kinda story:
Break their nose and they'll just say "Sorry!"
Tell me what kinda freaks are that polite?
That's gotta mean they're all up to something,
So quick, before they see it coming...
Time for a preemptive strike!
