Story Behind the Song
This is a parody of the Molson's Beer "I am Canadian" ads... the Somalia reference isn't rascism, it's a reference to a horrific incident involving the Canadian Airborne division. It is, however, certainly in bad taste.
Lyrics

Hey uh, Im not a hacker, or a terrorist I dont like Celine Dionne or Shania Twain, but Im glad theyre getting rich. Although I do know Jimmy, Sally, and Suzy from Canada, but they arent as nice as youd think. I am ruled by a rich, white Prime Minister, not a rich white president. I dont know french, but I can converse fluently in American. And I pronounce it: "A boot" not "A big shoe". I can proudly sew my countrys flag on my backpack, because even though we are just as guilty as anyone else for the fate of the third world, everyone blames America. When Im at home, I realize I had better not protest deforestation or fascist dictators without risking a face full of pepper spray and a criminal record. I believe in peacekeeping, even if it means killing Somali teenagers for fun. I believe in turning back boatloads of Chinese Immigrants, a failing healthcare system, and late night cable porn disguised as art. And that the Beaver is a truly proud and beautiful part of a womans body. I believe the French should whine about everything, the english should appologize, and that it is pronounced zed, not zee because thats how the queen of England told us to pronounce it! Canada is the 2nd largest land mass in the world, the 2nd nation in hockey, and the best part of the northern third of North America! My name is Joe, and until we are annexed by the states I am Canadian!

The Toronto Song (2001)
A 21st century re-recording of a troll classic. Featuring the musical talents of Renslip, a lovely band from Toronto.
CD: Steaming Pile of Skit   Label: Trollsongs
Credits: Joe Bird, Wes Borg
Story Behind the Song
This song was written as a criticism of Albertan narrow-mindedness and xenophobia, but it ended up striking a chord with the national ethos, and some people take it far too seriously.
We were in Toronto in April 2001, doing a play, and we met some old friends in a band called "Renslip", who played the music in Toronto, then we took the files back to Edmonton and added the vocals. Truly a Multi-provincial collaboration.

For the record, Toronto doesn't suck, but their newspaper critics sure as hell do.

Story Behind the Song
It's the grand finale from a play called "The War of 1812", hosted by the mighty Pierre Berton.
The play was nominated for several awards, and the song has been a giant hit at Folk Festivals throughout Canada.
Lyrics

The War of 1812 Song
oh come back proud Canadians
To before they had TV
No Hockey Night in Canada
There was no CBC
In 1812 Madison was mad
He was the President, you know
He thought he'd tell the British
Where they ought to go
He thought he'd invade Canada
He thought that he was tough
Instead we went to Washington
And burned down all his stuff

And the White House burned, burned, burned And we're the ones that did it!
It burned burned burned
While the President ran and cried
It burned burned burned
Things were very historical
and the Americans ran and cried like a bunch of little babies, wah wah wah
in the war of 1812!

Now some hillbillies from Kentucky
dressed in green and red
left home to fight in Canada
but they returned home dead

Its only war the Yankees lost
except for Vietnam
and also the Alamo
and the Bay of... Ham

The loser was America
The winner was ourselves
So sing along and gloat about
The war of 1812

Chorus:
And the White House burned, burned, burned
But the Americans won't admit it
It burned burned burned
It burned and burned and burned

It burned burned burned
I bet that made them mad
and the Americans ran and cried like a bunch of little babies, wah wah wah
in the war of 1812!
