“Canadian Idiot” by Weird Al Yankovic

Don't wanna be a Canadian idiot 

Don't wanna be some beer swillin' hockey nut 

And do I look like some frostbitten hose-head? 

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 talkin' aboot 

Sure they got their national health care 

Cheaper meds, low crime rates and clean air 

Then again well they got Celine Dion 

Eat their weight in Kraft macaroni 

And dream of drivin' a Zamboni 

All over Saskatchewan 

Don't wanna be a Canadian idiot 

Won't figure out their temperature in Celsius 

See the map, they're hoverin' right over us 

Tell you the truth, it makes me kinda nervous 

Always hear the same kind of story 

Break their 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 somethin

' So quick, before they see it comin' 

Time for a pre-emptive strike! 

2. Decide which of the three stylistic movements (existentialist, modernist or postmodernist) the song fits with the best and use specific examples to explain your choice. How alike or different is this song to other songs and poems written in the same style? Why does it seem alike or different? Give evidence from the song to support your answer.

3. Find two other songs that could also fit in with this same stylistic movement. Provide the lyrics, as well as links to the two songs. Explain why you think they belong to this stylistic movement.
