Music Monday – “The UK has the monarchy/The US has the money/But I know that you wanna be Canadian”
I bookmarked this song a long time ago but don’t think I ever posted it. Seems appropriate in light of Canada’s recent success in the Winter Olympics. “Canadian Please”. (If memory serves, this was made by students at UWO where I did my MLIS.)
