A Lesson in Canadian Pronunciation

[goldustsongbird]

Sorta.

If you've seen the 1970 movie, Goin' Down The Road, you'll get the most out of the following, but if you haven't... Then you're one of many, so don't feel bad. I personally don't like it; my dad thinks it's the best movie ever made.

Anyway! The discussion about voices & accents in the spring ahead thread made me think of this. It's from SCTV (I know, I know, here I go again), and they really lay on the Newfie and Canadian accents. Garth & Gord & Alice & Fiona (lol) is, of course, a parody of the aforementioned Goin Down the Road... If there's a better summary of the movie, I have yet to see it.

(It's in two parts, blah. The second part is the best. Dere's a mouse in da hoos...)

lmao, it sticks with you, doesn't it?! If I ever find the full song, I'll definitely upload it. We should go to Yonge Street for real when you're here... I just hope you we don't run over a woodchuck on the way. That'd bum me oot.

Of course it flopped - nobody cares about Canada. Here, I'll bump it up out of pity for Lisa.
