One of Canada's unofficial national anthems (although probably not the one that immediately comes to mind when I say that) got a recent plug on MetaFilter which led to a very interesting line-by-line analysis of the song and a great video clip as well…

Stan Rogers is great. Love that song. Though honestly didn't know it was Stan because I heard/learned it first from a man (very Stan like in appearance and sound) when I used to be in the SCA.
I was the same – used to hear the song as a cover or in the background music at various Irish pubs so never realised who the original singer was for a long time.
