Captain Tractor, a band who gets their namesake from that song, does an excellent cover of it as well.

That's true, although I like the original Arrogant Worms' version better. IMHO, they have a lot of good songs, check out their other (kinda) famous hit: Carrot Juice is Murder

For the Canucks in the crowd, check out Canada's Really Big and We Are the Beaver :o)

Canadian pirates? What, they attack people with canoes?

Have you never heard of the Last Saskatchewan Pirate?!?

"And it's a heave-ho, hi-ho, comin' down the plains
Stealin' wheat and barley and all the other grains
It's a ho-hey, hi-hey farmers bar yer doors
When ya see the Jolly Roger on Regina's mighty shores!"

Arrr, matey!

No way, there's no mention of Ray in there. Shaq, Indiana Jones, and Jackie Chan and a few others but Godzilla did not step on Ray.

...and think of reasons to be happy.

Something like this?

...

Cheddar cheese and pickle, the Vincent motorsickle
Slap and tickle
Woody Allen, Dali, Dimitri and Pasquale
balabalabala and Volare

Something nice to study, phoning up a buddy
Being in my nuddy
Saying hokey-dokey, singalonga Smokey
Coming out of chokey

John Coltrane's soprano, Adi Celentano
Bonar Colleano

As a proud Manitoban & Canadian, may I say "Yar! Where do I sign?" And since nobody has seen fit to post the lyrics...

The Last Saskatchewan Pirate - Arrogant Worms/Captain Tractor/Brad Johner

I used to be a farmer, and I made a living fine,
I had a little stretch of land along the CP line
But times were hard and though I tried, the money wasn't there
And the bankers came and took my land and told me "fair is fair"

I looked for every kind of job, the answer always no
"Hire you now?" they'd always laugh, "we just let twenty go!"
The government, the promised me a measly little sum
But I've got too much pride to end up just another bum.

Then I thought, who gives a damn if all the jobs are gone?
I'm gonna be a PIRATE on the river Saskatchewan!

And it's a heave-ho, hi-ho, comin' down the plains
Stealin' wheat and barley and all the other grains
It's a ho-hey, hi-hey farmers bar yer doors
When ya see the Jolly Roger on Regina's mighty shores

Well, you'd think the local farmers would know that I'm at large
But just the other day I found an unprotected barge
I snuck up right behind them and they were none the wiser,
I rammed their ship and sank it and I stole their fertilizer!

A bridge outside of Moose Jaw spans a mighty river
Farmers cross in so much fear their stomachs are a'quiver
Cause they know that Captain Tractor's hidin' in the bay
I'll jump the bridge and knock them cold and sail off with their hay!

And it's a heave-ho, hi-ho, comin' down the plains
Stealin' wheat and barley and all the other grains
It's a ho-hey, hi-hey farmers bar yer doors
When ya see the Jolly Roger on Regina's mighty shores

Well, Mountie Bob he chased me, he was always at my throat
He followed on the shoreline cause he didn't own a boat
But cutbacks were a'coming and the Mountie lost his job
So now he's sailing with us, and we call him Salty Bob!

A swingin' sword, a skull and bones and pleasant company
I never pay my income tax and screw the GST (SCREW IT!!)
Sailin down to Saskatoon, the terror of the seas
If you wanna reach the co-op, boy, you gotta get by me!

Cause it's a heave-ho, hi-ho, comin' down the plains
Stealin' wheat and barley and all the other grains
It's a ho-hey, hi-hey farmers bar yer doors
When ya see the Jolly Roger on Regina's mighty shores

(*spoken* Arrrr! Ya salty dog!)
(*spoken* Arrrr! Ya salty gopher!)
(*spoken* Arr.. ya.. salty bale of hay!)
Well, Pirate life's appealing but you just don't find it here,
I hear in North Alberta there's a band of buccaneers
They roam the Athabaska from Smith to Fort McKay
And you're gonna lose your Stetson if you have to pass their way!

Well, winter is a'comin' and a chill is in the breeze
My Pirate days are over once the river starts to freeze
I'll be back in springtime but now I have to go
I hear there's lots of plunderin' down in New Mexico!

Cause it's a heave-ho, hi-ho, comin' down the plains
Stealin' wheat and barley and all the other grains
It's a ho-hey, hi-hey farmers bar yer doors
When ya see the Jolly Roger on Regina's mighty shores...x2

When ya see the Jolly Roger on Regina's mighty shores...x2

You can be mean to me,
Mean as you want to be.
Just say anything that you like.

You can be nasty and catty,
and cruel and unusual.
Twist my nose with your fingers,
trip me while i carry liquids.

But as you pin me down,
my arms down on the ground,
and your spit drips into my face,
deep in the back of your mind
remember at some point you'll have to fall asleep.

You can be mean to me

You're the kind of guy that pisses on rugs :)

Changed my mind ... anyone, and I mean anyone, who links to a ska punk band in their sig, is a freakin' god ...

Oh, and here is my retort:

So, I guess we'll finally here the truth from the government on why aliens from Area 51 made so many homosexuals?

You're not supposed to take that song seriously! More on-topic than Stuart would be Mojo Nixon's Elvis Is Everywhere .

Elvis is everywhere, man!
He's in everything.
He's in everybody...

Elvis is in your jeans.
He's in your cheesburgers
Elvis is in Nutty Buddies!
Elvis is in your mom!

He's in everybody.
He's in the young, the old,
the fat, the skinny,
the white, the black
the brown and the bluepeople got Elvis in 'em too

Elvis is in everybody out there.
Everybody's got Elvis in them!
Everybody except one person that is...
Yeah, one person!
The evil opposite of Elvis.
The Anti-Elvis

Anti-Elvis got no Elvis in 'em,
lemme tell ya.

Michael J. Fox has no Elvis in him.

<snip>

Yeah man, you know people from outer space,people from outer space they come up to me.
They don't look like like Doctor Spock.
They don't look like Klingons,
all that Star Trek jive.

They look like Elvis.
ELVIS!
Everybody in outer space looks like Elvis.
Cause Elvis is a perfect being.
We are all moving in perfect peace and harmony towards Elvisness

Soon all will become Elvis.
Everything everywhere will be Elvis.
Why do you think they call it evolution anyway?
It's really Elvislution!
Elvislution!

For those unassociated with Mojo Nixon and the Dead Milkmen, the Dead Milkmen are a humorous punk rock band, while Mojo Nixon is a humorous Punk Country boy.

So much for trying to be funny... What, dry humor doesn't get points? Maybe I didn't phrase it right... Like if all the botnets were running threatfire, and told threatfire it was cool to run botnet software.

Then we'd have a phrase something like "Trusting in the sanity and restraint of Threatfire is not an option" (See George W Bush, and Dope ).

I wouldn't mind seeing a Canadian branch -- I'm living in Vancouver right now, and I'm originally from Ottawa.

Is it bad that I hope something like this will be started in Saskatchewan, just so they/we will have an excuse to use "The Last Saskatchewan Pirate" as a themesong?

...and as for you / in your uniform
your smelly uniform
and so you think you can be rude to me

because you wear a uniform
a smelly uniform
and so you think you can be rude to me

but even I / as sick as I am
I would never be you
even I / as sick as I am
I would never be you
even I / sick and depraved
a traveler to the grave
I would never be you
-"How Can Anybody Possibly Know How I Feel?" (2004)

The sad thing is that it appears to be as he's quoted as saying in the article - he's been investigated and has a file open on him and has been interviewed, FFS!, because he wrote a lyric expressing disdain and contempt for.... petty hitler jumped up jobsworths who feel a uniform entitles them to act out their own personal psychological issues on the unfortunates they encounter professionally. Sad, sad, sad. And I'm gonna post this AC but I have no illusions that that will prevent this comment going into my file. Sympathiser for a known subject of a terrorist investigation, doncha know?

Let's Sing It is what I tend to use... Let's see, no results for "Suicide is silent" as lyrics, but several for "suicide is painless" as lyrics, including the one I was thinking of.

Yakko: Everybody lives on a street in a city
Or a village or a town for what it's worth.
And they're all inside a country which is part of a continent
That sits upon a planet known as Earth.
And the Earth is a ball full of oceans and some mountains
Which is out there spinning silently in space.
And living on that Earth are the plants and the animals
And also the entire human race.

It's a great big universe
And we're all really puny
We're just tiny little specks
About the size of Mickey Rooney.
It's big and black and inky
And we are small and dinky
It's a big universe and we're not.

And we're part of a vast interplanetary system
Stretching seven hundred billion miles long.
With nine planets and a sun; we think the Earth's the only one
That has life on it, although we could be wrong.
Across the interstellar voids are a billion asteroids
Including meteors and Halley's Comet too.
And there's over fifty moons floating out there like balloons
In a panoramic trillion-mile view.

And still it's all a speck amid a hundred billion stars
In a galaxy we call the Milky Way.
It's sixty thousand trillion miles from one end to the other
And still that's just a fraction of the way.
'Cause there's a hundred billion galaxies that stretch across the sky
Filled with constellations, planets, moons and stars.
And still the universe extends to a place that never ends
Which is maybe just inside a little jar!

YW+D : It's a great big universe
And we're all really puny
We're just tiny little specks
About the size of Mickey Rooney.
* Though we don't know how it got here
* We're an important part here
* It's a big universe and it's ours!

* - In the original script, these lines were:

YW+D : You might think that you're essential
Try inconsequential
It's a small world after all!

Big apologies to Kelly Clarkson's "Since U Been Gone"

Whew, that's a relief. I couldn't figure out why your lyrics wouldn't scan properly to the Outfield's "Since You've Been Gone".

Here's the thing,
I didn't vote for you.
It was cool cause I didn't want to.
Yeah, yeah. Since u been gone.
Inaugurated, sat in the oval room.
Wasn't long before the dot-com boom.
Yeah, yeah. Since u been gone.
And all you'd ever hear me say
Is "Don't globalize our jobs!"
That's all you'd ever hear me say.

BUT SINCE U BEEN GONE....
We've got this insane cowboy.
I visit MoveOn-Dot-Com
After you - rednecks get - what they want
Since u been gone

How can I put it, I was afraid of you.
I even was afraid of Janet Reno.
Yeah, yeah. Since u been gone.
How come I never hear you say
"We'll have a smaller government"
I guess you never felt that way.

BUT SINCE U BEEN GONE....
Hi-Cap mags are back in our schools
Torture isn't wrong. Yeah, yeah.
After you - the whole world - hates our guts.
Since u been gone.

You had your chance, you blew it
Out of sight out of mind.
Shut your fly, I just can't take it
Again and again and again and again

SINCE U BEEN GONE.... (Since u been gone....)
Eternal war against terror.
Little Green Footballs is popular.
After you (After you)
Our dollar - took a plunge.
I'd vote for your wife if I could.
But not John Kerry, he's a douche bag.
After you (After you)
Now you know (you know)
You should know( you should know) Red China,
The Chinese own our ass.

Since u been gone
Since u been gone
Since u been gone

Big apologies to Kelly Clarkson's "Since U Been Gone"

I've heard the screams of the vegetables.....

Hormel might do well to focus more on international sales. Here is Japanese fusion dish known as ,SPAM MUSUBI which is most delicious (jpeg).

Pork is so revered in China, where the pig symbolises good luck, fertility and virility, that the meat and pork are the same word! Hormel would do well to add a large, smiling, tumescent, gold bling wearing, surrounded by bitch pigs, pig to their package label for sales in China. It might help to put him on a Harley as sort of an inside joke for the more cosmopolitan Chinese.

While they do have turkey SPAM I've yet to see an 'all beef' version. With one world government on it's way, and if you believe Jack Van Impe an Islamic government at that, Hormel would do well to push an all beef product,

Down the road, when they've got the market cornered, it will be time to branch out into flavored varieties. For example "All Beef Spam with SQUIRREL BRAINS" should sell well in SE Tennessee.

SPAM Lyrics, Python

If you were not such a pitiful freak, you would have gotten some head from her. Even according to God herself, head does not count.

"I've never cheated on any of my girlfriends
Well, except that one little time in Japan
but that was just some head
And head don't count right
Ahh thanks god. I knew you'd understand"

There's nothing wrong with Finland, except that it's so far from Japan, quite a long way from Cairo, and lots of miles from Vietnam.

I will remind them that I could be useful in rounding up people to toil in their underground carrot mines

To quote no less than Alanis Morissette:

We watch movies of murder, and we censor the breast

Can you check under the bed... I left my wallet in El Segundo

A snippet of the lyrics below:
Who do you represent?
I represent the smallest planet
Attorney in this tourney versus those who tried to ban it
If you don't agree go see interplanet Janet
Cause sun is star like Pluto is planet
So lend me all ears and let me state my case
about all the types of satellites we must embrace
Cause like my parents' great grandparents - this planet is an immigrant,
to deport it's an offense
It's an upstanding member of the solar system
Apply the laws of Earth and make it a victim
Of Proposition 187
If Pluto spawns a moon, it will apply to the heavens.
I'll damn you like Judas of Iscariot
If you demote this mote remote to affiliate
It's like taking ET's custody from Elliot
Support your Lilliput, 'cause simply put

Pluto is a planet

Do it for the children
(If not for yourselves)
Pluto is a planet

Bah... that guy's a wuss. The great author, Farley Mowatt, actually shot at an American military plane once (ok, was a 0.22 squirrel rifle, and it was from over a mile away, but still....), and former Prime Minister Trudeau (featured on our $5 bills) once paddled a canoe to Cuba....

Canadians have been terrorists for a while now... this proves it...

Everybody knows that Ed isn't Jesus' brother's name. It's Bob.

...can you hum it to Gilbert and Sullivan?

I'm not sure there are any ethical considerations to growing "hydroponic" meat.
The stuff would not have a brain or the ability to feel pain and fear any more than plants do.

Boy, Dionne Warwick must have it bad. She's gone from "That's What Friends Are For" to singing the KPMG theme song. And I thought she was dead.

I was more unnerved by the ANTI-war songs pulled. Cat Stevens' "Peace Train" (warning: annoying popups) has no possible references to the bombing, nor does Edwin Starr's "War". They're PEACE songs. I think Clear Channel might want the US to do a little bombing.

Crazy conclusion? Maybe. But my Clear Channel station here in Phoenix was playing a version of 3 Doors Down's "Duck and Run" with a bunch of TV talking head pro-bombing-them-into-the-stone-age comments clipped from CNN and other networks. The DJs playing it got it down off Napster (I still wonder how they get license to use and rebroadcast Napstered songs, and I don't) and may not have been aware that "Duck and Run" was on the banned song list.

Or maybe the pansy pacifist (original) version of "Duck and Run" is. Personally, I think it's got some damn good lyrics for this situation.

And pity poor Neil Diamond's "America" for getting on the banned song list. I hear that song every 4th of July during fireworks. I guess the Tired and Poor aren't welcome in Clear Channel's America any more.
