Well, unlike Vancouver 2010, I can’t truly say that I’m sick of our national anthem by now–Canada’s only won one gold medal this time around. But that said, while watching some exciting Olympic action, I still prefer to have the following blasting in the background…
Dayglo Abortions – Proud to be a Canadian
Nothing fills me with Canadian pride like this two-minute punk song from Victoria’s Dayglo Abortions. Although, sometimes to mix things up, I put on the Fuck the Facts version with the Strange Brew samples instead…
PATRIOTIC PROSE: “Our prime minister sucks dogshit through his nose/His ex-wife gets brown showers from Mick Jagger”
…
The perfect soundtrack to another fourth place finish or bronze-medal match loss. Oh Canada–what’s wrong with you!?
PATRIOTIC PROSE: “You spent all your money on a lot of useless toys/You’re so fucking dumb you stupid cowboys”
…
Mononc’ Serge et Anonymus – Mourir pour le Canada
With most of Canada’s medals coming from Quebecois athletes in the first week of the Games, I had to find something in la langue de Parizeau that reflected the desire to go to war and die for Canada. Wait, you mean Mononc’ Serge is a separatist and this song is satirical!? Oh shit…
PATRIOTIC PROSE: “Comme le castor vaillant qui construit son barrage/ou l’orignal parlant couramment deux langages/me monte à la gorge un sanglot de joie/tant je veux mourir pour le Canada!”
…
Best. Canadian. Jock Jam. Evar!!!!!
PATRIOTIC PROSE: “Gimme an R…”
…
Peace,
Greg
