Balaaah. I'm siiiiick. I'm definitely turning in early tonight, as I am not planning on going to see the Blue Man Group sick.
This morning, I was singing "Rocks and Trees" and I thought hey, I'm gonna post a triple-set of Canada songs from the Arrogant Worms. They're rather fond of their homeland. :D
The Arrogant Worms - Rocks and Trees
My country’s bigger than most
And if asked I boast
’cause I’m really proud
So I shout it loud
Though our numbers are few
We will welcome you
Although we don’t have history
Gold medal winning teams
Heroes or prisoners
World famous volcanoes
Still what we’ve got’s glorious
’cause we’ve got
Rocks and trees
And trees and rocks
And rocks and trees
And trees and rocks
And rocks and trees
And trees and rocks
And rocks and trees
And trees and rocks
And water
All right, everyone!
We’ve got
Rocks and trees
And trees and rocks
And rocks and trees
And trees and rocks
And rocks and trees
And trees and rocks
And rocks and trees
And trees and rocks
And water
In Canada, Canada, Canada, Canada, Canada, Canada, Canada, Canada...
Canada, Canada, Canada, Canada, Canada, Canada, Canada, Canada!
The Arrogant Worms - Canada's Really Big
When I look around me,
I can't believe what I see
It seems as if this country
Has lost its will to live
The economy is lousy,
We barely have an army
But we can still stand proudly
'Cause Canada's really big
We're the second largest country
On this planet Earth
And if Russia keeps on shrinking
Then soon we'll be first
(as long as we keep Quebec)
The USA has tanks
And Switzerland has banks
They can keep them, thanks
They just don't amount
'Cause when you get down to it
You find out what the truth is
It isn't what you do with it
It's the size that counts!
Most people
Will tell you
That France is pretty large
But you can put
Fourteen Frances
Into this land of ours
(it'd take a lotta work, it'd take a whole lotta work)
We're larger than Malaysia
Almost as big as Asia
We're bigger than Australia
And it's a continent
So big we seldom bother
To go see one another
But we often go to other
Countries for vacations
Our mountains are very pointy
Our prairies are not
The rest is kinda bumpy
But, man, do we have a lot
(we gotta lot of land, we gotta whole lot of land)
So stand up and be proud
And sing out very loud
We stand out from the crowd 'cause
Canada's really big!
And, a favourite which will raise some eyebrows...
The Arrogant Worms - A Night On Dildo
(spoken) Umm, so this is a song about Newfoundland and we wrote it about the place names and all you have to know is that all the place names in this song are real place names that we found in an atlas,
'cause we can read!
Yeah, we can read!
Yeah, literacy! (/spoken)
Oh Newfoundland, oh Newfoundland, ya island in the sea
I love you oh so very much, I joined the ministry
To show you people ’round the rock when tourist season’s here
Although in my opinion it’s a gem throughout the year
Well if you’re one for swimming, don’t think it’s outta reach
You can go and take a dip along Groswater Beach
I know the name’s misleading, that’s quite a problem here
Instead let’s go to Goobies and have ourselves a beer
From Woody's Point to Come-By-Chance to good ol’ Ferryland
Come take a look at Gander, Blackhead’s mighty grand
Don’t let the names deceive you, Newfoundland’s mighty fine
So spend a night on Dildo if you think you’ve got the time
Well you can go to Blow-Me-Down before it get’s to dark (gasp)
Oh sorry ma’am, I should have said, that’s our provincial park
There’s also Whippet Harbour, or maybe Butter Pot
Or maybe I’ll just hit the pub, I’m feeling like a shot
Well you can sail on Quidi Vidi, or look at Joe Batt’s Arm
There’s Placentia and there’s Cow Head (mooo!), they’re so full of charm
Get married down in KJilbride, have a party in Hate Bay
Or have some Screech in Fogo and forget about the day
From Woody's Point to Come-By-Chance to good ol’ Ferryland
Come take a look at Gander, Blackhead’s mighty grand
Don’t let the names deceive you, Newfoundland’s mighty fine
So spend a night on Dildo if you think you’ve got the time
Okay, the drinkin’ verse
*sing entire chorus drunkenly here*

Cod!
