Party Anthem (Anti-Aircraft Fire over Ontario)
The Americans are coming to save us
Anti-aircraft fire over Ontario
It was a matter of time
Schoolchildren in Saskatchewan
Your assignment for tomorrow: draw a flag
With a fifty-first star
Last night of freedom in Canada
First night of party in Canada
Let it all hang out
Have yourself a good time
For no apparent reason whatsoever
Sidewinders aimed at the Saddledome
Bare-naked ladies[1] on the run
They won't last one week
The crowds are chanting, "Vive Chrétien[2]!"
Regime change can be so much fun
They're going to do it again and again and again and again and again
Last night of freedom in Canada
First night of party in Canada
Let it all hang out
Have yourself a good time
For no apparent reason whatsoever
Seven hundred samurai[3]
could not protect us,
George's will be done
Lay down your weapons at the Minnesota border
When it's over, everyone will get a voucher for a shiny, new black gun
Fire up your final joint,
Pledge your allegiance to your ruthless queen
For the very last time
They're sending Ryan Adams
Over to kick Bryan Adams' ass
That's the way it should be[4]
Last night of freedom in Canada
First night of party in Canada
Let it all hang out
Have yourself a good time
For no apparent reason whatsoever

I literally searched for a widescreen edition of Seven Samurai for months after first seeing it at the Kurosawa festival put on by Chicago's Music Box Theater. Turns out there is no 16:9 version, it just looks epic. ↩︎
