Video is pretty good, seems to have a few things where the idea was taken from somewhere else, but still came together nicely... Like the song too, catchy...
I want to be Can(octave up)adian..

Video is very nice, it seams it was done for Americans, because (i don't know why) they seem to like Canadians.

Funny and well made, but you lost me at "Lose the gun and buy a canoe."

Dude. Yer kiddin' me. This video is evidence that people in Canada haven't got anything better to do than make up long, elaborate skits. ![]()
I liked this song video. Please don't take it too seriously and use your second-degree sense of humor.
The music is catchy and I thought they were quite funny. Nicely done.
(I'm a frenchy from France living in Canada and I love people here so I might not be totally objective
)
#7 I agree it's kind of silly especially for French Canadians but who am I to judge that anyway? ![]()
I just wish they hadn't said in french ,"here in canada we have two different official languages" when french canadians fought so hard to keep their languages, and that english canadians fought just as hard for them to dissapear (until they economically needed us). Im pretty sure they learn very different things in their history class, but I am a quebecer and found that akward and a little offensive. Eitherway, it's a fun video, very cute! ![]()
#14 I'm sorry I don't really understand your point. I don't think they are making fun of French Canadians in any way. I guess they said that in French to stand up to the fact that Canada has 2 official languages. At least they don't ignore it which would have been worse
I might be wrong though.

Cool Canadians.
I don't want to be Canadian. But I'm happy to have them for neighbors.
I like Canadians ![]()
Lyrics for Canadian, Please
Yeah I know that you wanna be Canadian, please
Even if in winter things tend to freeze
We've got the world monopoly on trees
And our country's bordered by three different seas
Yeah I know that you wanna be Canadian, please
We invented the zipper, we've got expertise
We made insulin to combat disease
Yeah I know that you wanna be Canadian, please
CHORUS
Brits have got the monarchy
The US has the money
But I know that you wanna be Canadian
The French have got the wine and cheese
Koalas chill with the Aussies
But I know that you wanna be Canadian
Et si ce n'était pas assez
On a deux langues officielles:
L'anglais et le français
Ooh la la
Yeah I know that you wanna be Canadian, please
Where else do you find mounted police
Or go to the hospital and not pay fees
Yeah I know that you wanna be Canadian, please
And when freshwater is in high demand
We've got the world's largest supply on hand
So you know that we could make a pretty good friend
But it's even better if you can be...
CHORUS
So you're thinking to yourself,
"How do I live in this beautiful country?"
Well we've got some steps for you to follow...
STEP 1: Lose the gun
STEP 2: Buy a canoe
STEP 3: Live multiculturally
STEP 4: You're ready, there is no more!
We got beavers, cariboo and moose
We got buffalos, bears, and Canadian goose
And we're sorry about Celine Dion
But she did do that good song for James Cameron...
CHORUS
Brits have got the monarchy
The US has the money
But I know that you wanna be Canadian
The French have got the wine and cheese
Koalas chill with the Aussies
But I know that you wanna be Canadian
The Greek chilled out with Socrates
Can't build a wall like the Chinese
But I know that you wanna be Canadian
In Kenya they have safaris
We've missed lots of other countries
But I know that you wanna be Canadian ![]()

#15 > Ah, i don't think it's meant to be offensive either,since yes,they are praising it in the video - i just thik that it's a bit unintentionally ironic.The relation between french canadians and english canadians here have been a fragile subject,and it is very recent that french is now a respected, 'official' language by Canada. But again, the point of view from english and french canadians on the subject is of course, very different.
Comment rated too low? That's too bad,
i meant to be constructive and correct.
#(removed comment) I almost made the same comment.She does that same tongue thing several times during the vid. Makes me horny watching her do that. ![]()
