My favourite part of this is the fact I obviously just have no clue what the words to the canadian national anthem is or how the tune goes. I made this sort absent-mindedly while watching some show, so that's partly my excuse.
andrew / 2003-02-27 16:31:26My favorite part is where you start laughing during the "everybody dance now" breakdown (at 30 sec). So are you soliciting cruel insults to prepare for your audition?
Cathie / 2003-02-27 16:40:02That was priceless, man. I cried a tear.
Lar / 2003-02-27 16:41:29OMG! lol you have given me the laugh I've needed all day. LOVED IT! Haha now I need to save it and listen to it over and over again so I can brainwash myself ;)
ProwlingLeo / 2003-02-27 16:41:41I agree with Cathie. The best part is in the middle when you start giggling. Also, the coughing at the end is a nice touch.
ramanda / 2003-02-27 16:43:23That was the best birthday present, like, EVUR.
goo / 2003-02-27 16:44:01Wow, that was a fine, fine follow-up to woochuka. I got misty. ~Kim
justjones / 2003-02-27 16:45:44Frivolity and flattery will get you everything -- but money ! Enjoyed.
Bastion / 2003-02-27 16:52:07you rule, andrew.
ashley (the nice smelling one) / 2003-02-27 16:54:50That was eye-wideningly retarded.
fizzy powders / 2003-02-27 17:01:38you are an embarrassment to canada. wait did i just say that? i meant that CANADA is an embarrassment to canada. no no no, what i meant to say is that The Banger Sisters is an embarrasment to canada. times infinity
susan and goldie / 2003-02-27 17:05:32Oh... MY... GOD Priceless.
helderheid / 2003-02-27 17:08:00Isn't that our anthem? Or at least the C&C Music Factory remix of it? I want *you* to sing at hockey games.
Melissa / 2003-02-27 17:10:20Hey i love ya and all, and i wont say pathetic,which comes to mind, ill say ...intereting. I like the "everybody dance now" parts better then your attempt at oh canada!Good Job though
lisa / 2003-02-27 17:13:06Awesome !! Here in Germany we got the show "Germany searches for the Superstar", more than 10.000 people joined the addition and none of them have been half talented as you are. You'll definitely make it into the charts. Sooner or later. And then I want to be your Groupie LMAO ... thanks for that. *wipes tear away*
Tina / 2003-02-27 17:17:38oh, wow, i wish that was the u.s. anthem. you know, minus the canada part and all. i'd pay to hear that played at the olympics.
spaceman spiff / 2003-02-27 17:41:39my cat is deaf and all my windows shattered...uh, thanks? - michael
michael / 2003-02-27 18:05:47Based solely on your singing abilities, will you marry me? Our children will be vocal superstars!
Michelle / 2003-02-27 18:15:12MY EARS!!!!! Ouch! That makes me want to move to the United States! LOL.
Melissa1983 / 2003-02-27 18:24:50andrew, you're my idol, canadian or not.
amanda / 2003-02-27 18:32:54andrew, you're my idol, canadian or not.
amanda / 2003-02-27 18:33:29Oh. My. God. You are now my new hero.
Ari / 2003-02-27 19:03:17EVERYBODY DANCE NOW! Just the laugh I needed after hearing about the passing of Mr.Rogers. ^-^ I just hope that the canadian idol doesn't have a Simon, hardie har har. He'd have a field day. Good luck with it! Ever think of singing the Star Spangled Banner? Idea! You should sing/make a diaryland cd, just with songs about how diaryland's been treating you. I'm a dork. ^-^
Amy / 2003-02-27 19:06:14That was the funniest thing I have heard in months! Thanks for sharing, giggling and coughing! Awesome.
Inkdragon / 2003-02-27 19:07:11Milk came out my nose!
ophelia / 2003-02-27 19:17:35ANDREW MARRY ME LASKDFJLSKDJFLKJ!!! seriously, i will still be laughing about that tomorrow. beautiful.
betticola / 2003-02-27 19:30:17nice touch to the anthem...you have a truely UNIQUE talent, but in regards to Melissa1983....dont' move to USA...i already have enough friends who are horrible singers...i wouldn't want you to upstage them or anything like that ;)
duztyclowd9 / 2003-02-27 19:38:38I think i broke it. I couldn't download the mp3 so now I am sitting here broken hearted while everyone else gets to laugh and smile at how cool andrew is. This makes me sad. The End.
Dee / 2003-02-27 19:45:51I can't believe you just posted that. It was PRICELESS. OH-MY-GOD. I nearly peed my pants.
Gaby / 2003-02-27 20:20:00Andrew. I have an Oasis mp3 where liam gallagher coughs just like you do! It's a sign!!! good job, you're definitely my canadian idol!
Stephanie / 2003-02-27 20:29:47you nailed. i'll stay tuned for the french version. you kow that whole 50-50 language thing. i feel very proud to be canadian today.
heather / 2003-02-27 20:37:26Tout le monde fait dance now! That works pretty well actually.
andrew / 2003-02-27 20:44:15holy crap you sound like a man. i mean i guess i always expected sir andrew to sound, not younger, but i don't know. but dude, you're a MAN.
do do do do / 2003-02-27 20:58:30That was almost as bad as when HANSON tried to sing the U.S anthem a few years ago....I still love you....SMOoCh!
Goldy / 2003-02-27 21:40:47I'm not Canadian, but if I was, you'd SO be my idol.
Mellie / 2003-02-27 22:01:11The cough at the end really brings it all home.
Davezilla / 2003-02-27 22:52:48I wish I had had sound editing software to get rid of the cough, it just shows how unprofessional I am : (
andrew / 2003-02-27 23:03:02No, it sounds completely professional! Like you're so secure in your live performance that you don't even NEED fancy editing. That "where so proudly we snay-hay-hayrrrraahhhhhh" part is like the US anthem with the "what so proudly we hailed" . . . but your new SUPER-ANTHEM is better, because you can dance to it. In fact, EVERYBODY kind of HAS to dance to it. Now.
Christabean / 2003-02-28 00:10:20oh that is CLASSIC! that is soo cute! haha the laugh in the middle was funny. it didn't download properly for me, because my computer's a bitch. so i missed out on the cough at the end that everyone's talking about. you really must have heaps of time! hehe you brightened up my day. (and killed my ears hehe)
zoe / 2003-02-28 02:24:18No, the coughing MAKES it. What a work of art. Your singing hooked me to your diary in the first place. We want more!
Deanna / 2003-02-28 05:10:28That was brilliant--you ARE the new Canadian Idol!! Start working on your acceptance speech.
Eva / 2003-02-28 09:01:17why won't it work for me :(
kimya / 2003-02-28 09:35:27Good question, what error do the people who can't get it to work get? Maybe try right-clicking (or long clicking on a Mac) on it and choosing "save target as..." and save it to your disk!
andrew / 2003-02-28 10:12:48LOL.. At the end, at one part, you sounded so much like GOnzo. Priceless. LOL! OXXO
Jess / 2003-02-28 15:41:49Dude. wow. And, your laughing is clutch. Rock.
Ducky / 2003-02-28 16:35:53oh my, that was too, too funny. please, please, please (i'm begging...you won't see that often enough) give us the bilingual version
i-m-hideous / 2003-02-28 17:01:56Everyone gather round and listen! Gonzo sings the Canadian National Anthem while smoking a big fat doobie! Priceless. Thank you, Andrew. -lime
bluelime / 2003-02-28 17:16:25GONZO? what's with that! That's just adding insult to injury! But I did love his look..
andrew / 2003-02-28 17:18:08that ws so beautiful I think I'm going to go roll around in the snow wearing nothing but a huge maple leaf flag.
sprout / 2003-03-01 01:50:03haha, i love it. we should get a new nationql anthem.. except for the "so proudly we stand" bit. Canada's not big on pride. And the last thing we need is to gank your anthem. but yeah, i liked the giggle too.
Keni / 2003-03-01 02:07:47that is the best thing i have heard, in at LEAST the last five minutes. this may have something to do with the fact that i am deaf. well, i wasnt before. but now that these two number two pencils are firmly lodged in my ear canal, i am pretty sure its over. oh fuck!.
melissa / 2003-03-01 03:57:27Holy shit, you DO sound like Gonzo. When you're making the 'do do do do' noise. Anyway, Andrew, you just fucking rock my socks. What do you say to a shotgun wedding, some cheap alcohol, and a Motel 6 room for our honeymoon? The booze are on me!
Jen / 2003-03-01 05:47:27It keeps telling me that the file I requested cannot be found on my harddrive. I can't copy or save it either :(
cosmicrayola / 2003-03-01 07:19:00is it ok to start trading this mp3 on bearshare and winmx? hahaha.
michelle / 2003-03-01 12:25:22Oh. My. God. Ya know, I relocated from the US to England for love but I am more than willing to relocate to Canada if you'll have me. Gobsmacked. Completely and totally gobsmacked. You really do rock.
Redlilocks / 2003-03-01 12:35:31What about the bunny in the city? Or the little pimpin bunny?? Or that cake...the cake...whyd he steal the cake. it took a long time to bake ya mean cake stealin rabbit. oh gosh darn dang nabbit!
Mark / 2003-03-01 14:15:59You have convinced me to move to Canada. That was really the best. You are on replay, my man.
Kristie / 2003-03-01 17:00:52HAHAHAHAAHAHHAA..... Ohhhhhh my stomach hurts from laughing. That was awesome... truly.
Linds / 2003-03-02 03:46:17bravo
kimya / 2003-03-02 12:13:15That was great. Please, PLEASE audition for the show!
hannah / 2003-03-02 13:41:47Move over, Kelly Clarkson! Step aside, Justin Guarini! Take THAT, Tamyra Gray! This guy totally wipes the floor with you three.
Katie / 2003-03-02 23:46:40god, i hate you so much
harsh / 2003-03-02 23:51:01i do too.
andrew / 2003-03-02 23:56:09Your song has inspired me to start training to be a superhero. Here's how it goes: every day I will listen to your song at work and focus all my powers on (a) pretending to work and (b) not laughing. After several weeks, my powers of concentration will be so overdeveloped that I'll discover that I have x-ray vision or perhaps the ability to fly. And I'll owe it all to you. Thank you, Andrew-san.
Onea / 2003-03-03 13:50:56hahahahahahahahahahahaha. that'll make a sweet CD.
anonymosity4ever / 2003-03-03 18:28:44You could so be the next so called Idol. You have a wonderful voice.
adilee / 2003-03-03 22:19:44Oh Andrew, this reminds me... Do you still have the totally fucking brilliant mp3 of Bunny in the City? I love that song.
stephanie / 2003-03-04 03:24:48interesting......i guess canada should copy that as they do everything else. lol nice diary btw
sylvia / 2003-03-04 11:58:42as an American i had no idea C&C music factory was involved in the making of the canadien nat'l anthem... im jealous.. the U.S. should be jealous, thanks for enlightening a stupid american btw will Simon be on Canadian Idol.. god i hope not, for your sake
nakedkristin / 2003-03-04 15:29:47Wow! Impressive. :)
Megan / 2003-03-04 17:33:49Not being able to change your template at peak hours is stupid. I don't want to pay the money so what, why shouldnt i get to use the whole site. i am a poor college student and i cant afford it, so get more servers already.
you suck / 2003-03-04 19:00:57Okay, although I should be deleting the troll, but I just went into the logs for a second, and I just want to say one thing: Complain about diaryland on my personal diary comments, fine, you can't read. Call yourself a "poor college student" while surfing on a Mac powerful enough to run Jaguar/Safari? That's dumb. I am not going to go off here or anything, but if you are angry enough to post rude complaints on my diary using a $2000 computer, you might consider just paying the couple of bucks a month, it seems like you're getting really worked up, and I hate to see you all worked up like that. If you don't want to pay, that's FINE, I really don't mind, but don't call yourself "a poor college student" and yell at me when you're on a fancy computer, writing from the residence of a fancy university, because it makes you look sort of dumb. And that's the last troll I reply to here.
Andrew / 2003-03-04 19:19:04you tell 'em, andrew!
zoe / 2003-03-04 22:49:38I think you should pratice some more before you sign up:)
Chantel / 2003-03-04 22:57:54"Wah, my daddy didn't hug me enough when I was little! And I already used up all my allowance buying Coke and Pop Rocks so I can't get gold membership!" ;)
Onea / 2003-03-05 07:42:52I want to comment on Sylvia's comment. first of all, canada can't copy that, since a product of canada made it! or did you think a canadian wasn't capable of making a site this great? or a song that great? and have you heard any canadian artists, such as the Guess Who? (American Woman) or the Tragically Hip. How about Celine Dion (shudder, I shouldn't admit she's one of us)? Maybe you've heard of Mike Myers? Austin Powers. We do not copy everything else, we are our own country and I don't even want to spark a debate between the countries of Canada and the U.S. because everybody else is already arguing about it. We're neighbors, we share a continent, and americans aren't the only or the best people in the world! so fuck off already with the cheap shots at canada. you don't like it, don't complain about it on a canadian diary.
Jill / 2003-03-05 17:44:51I think she meant stealing american idol, but it was british first!
Jon / 2003-03-05 18:15:48The part where you started to laugh...it was just so damn cute! Ha...excellent beat-boxing.
Casey / 2003-03-05 19:20:58that was bronze. possibly even golden. i have never not been able to breathe like that in my life. i think that is in a fight to the death with my other favorite national anthem: http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail32.html
zostrich / 2003-03-05 20:58:22that was bronze. possibly even golden. i have never not been able to breathe like that in my life. i think that is in a fight to the death with my other favorite national anthem: http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail32.html
zostrich / 2003-03-05 20:58:45LOL. My parents were in the room when I was listening to you and I was crackin up. when they started to listen they busted up to! They never laugh so you should be proud dude! I HAVE to get that burned onto a CD for when I'm bummed! Email me!!
Stephanie / 2003-03-05 22:28:04Oh ya, the cough in there was a good addition so keep it in!!!
Stephanie / 2003-03-05 22:31:29you're insane, Andrew. the good insane, that is. very cool...you'll definitely win! I'd vote for you, anyways! =^.^=
kir / 2003-03-06 19:55:11HA HA HA!!! Wow Andrew. That was quite an interesting....*ahem* version....lol
Amber / 2003-03-06 22:19:36Damn! I never got around to reinstalling the sound driver since the last format, but I think I'll do that now. Thank you Andrew. You have given my computer and I new purpose.

hannah / 2003-03-08 00:15:05Dear Hannah, Thank you for making me uhh, really proud to be from this country. I am not sure what most of your message was about, I think maybe you were quoting a song or something, but really, your message made me really appreciate Canada, a country that doesn't waste a lot of resources on any silly drug war, and therefore where methamphetamines are plentiful and inexpensive, or so I gather from your post.
Andrew / 2003-03-08 00:28:04*snicker* haha at that last comment..ur anthem was great..im makign all my friends listen to it.
skittlehead / 2003-03-08 01:15:05Whee! Go Andrew! Oh, and I saw the news section today, and noticed the short version said to "just rest ass..." Sorry.. just thought that was funny. ;P
Selene / 2003-03-08 19:58:36oh, wow. um, haha? that seems about all i can say...
rurisue / 2003-03-10 00:19:59That was great! Thank you for making me laugh! I hope you do enter the show...I think you could win...you should just do a rendition of everybody dance now!!
Rachel / 2003-03-10 00:54:05Andrew - you rock. Stick it to the man.
envyinsanity / 2003-03-10 09:50:13LMFAO! That is amazing ;P
khadia / 2003-03-10 12:27:30um.. okay. either way, haha, i hope you still know that you should try out for canadian idol. :D
samantha kara / 2003-03-10 13:36:52I challenge anyone out there to make a Flash animation to the tune of Andrew's version of the Canadian National Anthem. Now FLASH!
zeekster / 2003-03-10 13:46:29simon cowell's head would have exploded had he heard that. you gotta make a video! lol
Monica / 2003-03-10 21:24:02uh...wOwserz...is all i have to say :) lOl...if u audition..u will definitly...win? better cross your fingers though
Jennifer / 2003-03-11 00:44:21that was sexy =p
emily / 2003-03-11 19:19:12yeah, I agree with Emily, it pretty much was. And this comment was rather pointless. But I just wanted to add the 100th comment, cause having 99 looked rather incomplete. Now you got 100 and you can be proud. :D
Tina / 2003-03-12 13:42:34i added the song to my winamp song list, and it's just too funny "regular" songs, and then to hear andrew, who should be on the next guster tour. perfect fit, don't ya think? this also happens with bunny in the city. be still my heart.
liz / 2003-03-12 14:39:47Hannah needs to discover the wonders of punctuation, grammar, spelling, quotation marks, and a sense of humor.
Jen / 2003-03-12 14:40:43i am really hoping that when you recorded that you were wearing plaid flannel over tight spandex cuzz that's the image i have in my head. it's a sort of 80's dance fashion meets john fogerty sort of image.
idreamtrains / 2003-03-13 11:01:09i am really hoping that when you recorded that you were wearing plaid flannel over tight spandex cuzz that's the image i have in my head. it's a sort of 80's dance fashion meets john fogerty sort of image.
idreamtrains / 2003-03-13 11:06:53HILARIOUS! You rock. Go for it, hun. I'll vote for you.
Andrea / 2003-03-14 20:29:54dude that was so fucking amazing...i laughed so hard i drooled on myself. nothing like ending a song with a raspy cough
alima / 2003-03-14 23:56:50haha i loved that. u would soo win the canadian idol thing.
Amy / 2003-03-15 08:23:31bahahhahahahah! why was that the greatest thing ever! you rock my world, man, rock my world.
vylentviolet / 2003-03-15 13:14:02encore! Ah, wait, I can just hit 'repeat'! Thank you. Your rendition of "Oh, Canada" is a bright spot in a dark, dark world. I say this with an absolutely straight face :)
Hsiu / 2003-03-15 18:31:09Only the Canadian anthem could be desecrated and enjoyed as a laugh. Because Canadians have a sense of humour. If you'd done the American anthem that way, you'd have been whipped by the patriots who take desecration seriously. Also, the laugh in the middle will disqualify you on Canadian Idol so you'll have to record. Very funny!
Katherine / 2003-03-15 23:55:46110? I think i will make it 111. That was hilarious man, nice touch with the laugh. I think your the next Prince :p
So Numb.... / 2003-03-16 03:14:30OMG! That was so hilarious. I loved the break in of everybody dance now and the ad lib horn hits. Too funny! :) Ta!
groovebunny / 2003-03-19 01:27:37Do the US one now. DO THE US ONE! Maybe you can throw in a little Chakka Khan... or somethin'??? HMmmmmmm????
Jess / 2003-03-19 16:37:13fuckin hilarious. i have the impression that the canadian idol will be better than our american one w/ people like you!
go canada! / 2003-03-20 19:55:14Heh, that reminded me so much of my boyfriend, I can just imagine him doing that. It was hilarious! :D
Siobahn / 2003-03-23 20:13:00Oh my god that was too funny! I was sooo not expecting that, (hah) to make it even funnier I had my mp3 player on repeat! So it kept going and going! I think you're going to knock everyone at Canadian Idol dead ;-)!
Jenny Jones / 2003-03-27 01:57:47You're like, God. That was freaking awesome.
allison / 2003-03-27 20:34:46andrew, you just made my day. that was excellent! canada rocks!
sarah / 2003-03-29 18:18:43Hah, man, that is hilarious. You should be ashamed, though. Not knowing the words to our own national anthem? Oh well, awesome attempt! Will be forever stuck in my memory.
Krysta / 2003-03-30 01:23:40almost touching.
amy poetica / 2003-04-01 21:03:11Hmm... Intonation was sketchy at best, I thought that some of your phrasing sagged at times too. Your falsetto needs more breath support too! All in all, a "C-" performance. Unacceptable. P.S. How do you save recordings as an MP3 file?
Jack / 2003-04-08 02:09:06LMAO... Your the best.. Everyday at school we have to listen to the Canadian anthem at school, and I'd love to hear that over the announcements instead of the boring all music one we have now.
Elizabeth / 2003-04-08 17:03:31you've got to be joking
Anonymous / 2003-04-11 16:07:35I soo love American idol. And you know we Canadiens are saying? Go Clay! Go Clay! Because Clay is already the american idol.
Jessica / 2003-05-14 20:06:45Hey. NYC was awesome, allergies suck, Sullins is..., see ya 8th grade losers, what's up Curtis, Zach, Jackson, Brandon, Rees, Drew, Jordan, Will, Ben, Tyler, what's up with American Idol, it sucks, you do too...
Mitchboski / 2003-05-29 09:31:53That was SO great Andrew! I was laughing so much. I could swear you were going to break out in the American anthem after the first "Everybody Dance Now" part. Sounded like you began singing "And the rockets red glare." Wonderful, just *sniff* wonderful... *^_^* It brings a tear to this Canadians eye. I feel to patriotic and I feel like standing at attention for hours...but I won't because this particular Canadian is lazy...
Lindsay / 2003-06-11 20:41:21gooo...andrew..yay
.. / 2003-06-19 20:24:14andrew, you're amazing! you must be so good in bed !!
Barrel / 2003-06-25 08:53:54Are you taking requests? Because I would like to hear "Summer Breeze" by Seals and Crofts.
Marie / 2003-07-17 09:07:34omg omg omg, that was pricless, just plain hysterical!!!!! major props!
Elisa / 2003-07-30 23:10:21wow..131 comments..how wild is that
meghann / 2003-08-10 16:49:10wow..131 comments..how wild is that
meghann / 2003-08-10 16:49:10Is there some special category of award that you can win for this? Besides Canadian Idol I mean. Maybe you can be the next winner of that award Thurston Moore should have won for his "performance" in The Year Punk Broke. PURE GOLD, I tell you. I laughed and cried so hard listening to it and again talking about it afterwards.
Leslie / 2003-08-27 11:26:57I have to agree wid every1! This is so CLASSICAL! im sure ull b chosen! lolz..*EVERYBODY DANCE NOW* (giggle) I loved it! just pure...hilarious!
*-.rUby.-* / 2003-11-12 12:20:33Hehe, it's funny, a year and a half has passed since you posted that and I still love it XD
Amy / 2004-09-26 13:39:41add your comment:
