I was reading Brem’s blog when I came across his post about Weird Al Yankovic’s new album. The new album Straight Outta Lynwood is coming out on September 26. Weird Al Yankovic made a parody of American Idiot by Green Day. It’s called Canadian Idiot. The lyrics are hilarious. Watch song and read lyrics below.
Weird Al Yankovic Canadian Idiot Lyrics
Don’t want to be a Canadian idiot
Dont want to be some beer swillin’ hockey nut
and do I look like some frost bitten 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 talking aboot
sure they got their national health care
cheaper meds for prime rates and clean air
then again well they got celine dion
eat their weight in kraft macaroni
and dream of driving a zamboni
all over saskatchewan
Don’t want to be a Canadian idiot
We’ll figure out their temperature in Celcius
see the map they’re hovering right over us
tell you the truth it makes me kinda nervous
always hear the same kind of story
break your nose and they’ll just say sorry
tell me what kind of freaks are that polite
It’s gotta mean they’re all up to something
so quick before they see it coming
time for a pre-emptive strike
Should we Boycott Weird Al’s music? 😉

[…] Wierd Al really cracks me up! Thanks to fellow blogger Brad Grier for point this gem out to me on this blog here he found. It’s a take on the Green Day hit “American Idiot”. […]
Priceless indeed!
Great website.
And I loved the Al song, it’s going on my blog too.
He’s obviously poking fun at Americans and Canadians in it, it’s too bad he had to use such tired stereotypes so Americans will get the jokes.
[…] Weird Al Yankovic triumphs with yet another spoof song that has me rolling in the aisle. It even mentions Saskatchewan! You rock Al! […]
Thanks for finding this .. I borrowed it for my site and its already been borrowed by someone else.
Most American stereotypes are tired too you know :/
Anyway, it’s cute 🙂
c’mon people – Its a satire…..wow…
He’s actually praising Canada.
HooEh!!!
LOL!!! That cracks me right up! Way to go Al! It’s aboot time he makes a song aboot us!
“then again well they got celine dion”…
Found this online: Weird Al Yankovic’s version of Green Day’s American Idiot: Canadian Idiot. Hmmmm……….

Mr. “canada sucks!” I checked your IP address and it orignates from the UK.
Although I love the UK (and have some British friends) I’m not surprised by your message since according to a recent survey 1 in every 4 brits is a racist:

yeah it was only a joke lol surveys can be altered to mean anything i could alter a survey so much that people belive 9/10 40 yr olds r virgins
I was just kidding too 🙂
I personally think Brits are wonderful people 🙂
guys,
He is just being weird al. He is not expressing jealousy and he is not really serious about putting Canada down. He puts everyone down–just for quirky humor. That is just who is is. He has another song about the Amish.
No nationality sucks! I hate nationalism but I think this song is funny. It is not necessary to put down Americans or British (Or Canadians) in your comments. We are all in this world together and our nationality is an accident of birth.
Haha I love Weird Al, I think I’m going to forward this to my Canadian friends.
hey all those people how are saying mean things aboutus canadians are just jeoulus that al made a song about us and u americans got a crapy band to do yours. ( this is not an insult to the nice americans who dot think we live in egloos) CUS WE DONT!!!
thats what you think i live in a egloo
Ha hahaha ya right where u live alaska?
Hey watch it! I live in Alaska and no one lives in igloos (or even egloos).
I LOVE Weird Al’s music. Anything that brings laughter to this cruel world is welcome! I wish I’d’ve thought of it cause I’d’ve been rich like him and would’ve had lots of fun doin’ it!!!
all right cube yes
