A friend of mine in Colorado is in a fun but fierce battle with a Canadian friend of his over the outcome of the Olympic gold medal hockey game in which Canada beat the U.S. My friend asked me to write a parody of the Canadian national anthem to use as ammo.
Here's the original (click here to listen):
O Canada!
Our home and native land!
True patriot love in all thy sons command.
With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
The True North strong and free!
From far and wide,
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
God keep our land glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
Below is my version (click here to sing along). Keep in mind the following is all of 5 minutes of work, stereotypically-dated by my coming of age in the 80's (so take off, eh?):
O Canada!
Our home and TV land
True luck that we have Captain Kirk's command.
With glowing hearts made warm by beer
and McKenzie brothers two!
S-C-T-V,
O Canada, we raise remotes to you.
God keep us warm, laid back and free.
O Canada, we love to watch TV.
O Canada, we love to watch TV.
Other lyric suggestions?
Is Mr. Jack McQueeney involved in this somehow?

Doesn't Alan Thicke have to be in there somewhere?
