"Blame Canada" est une chanson des parents de South Park et Mothers Against Canada dans le film.
Contexte
La chanson a marqué la formation de Mothers Against Canada, l'organisation qui allait finalement déclencher la guerre américano-canadienne. La chanson blâmait la nation du Canada pour la production de Les Culs de Feu, un film qu'ils tenaient pour responsable de la corruption de la jeunesse américaine. La chanson a été reprise dans un medley du film.
Lors de la 72e cérémonie des Oscars, le comédien et acteur Robin Williams a interprété une version de "Blame Canada" adaptée à la télévision. La chanson a été nominée pour un Oscar mais a perdu face à "You'll Be in My Heart" de Phil Collins'. Par conséquent, plusieurs parodies de Phil Collins sont apparues sur South Park; dans la plupart de ses apparitions, Collins peut être vu tenant son Oscar à tout moment.
La chanson a été nominée pour les 100 ans… 100 chansons d'AFI mais n'a pas figuré sur la liste finale.
Une version 8 bits de la chanson est l'un des thèmes du monde extérieur pour le Canada dans South Park: Le Bâton de la Vérité. Cette version est également présentée dans South Park : L'Annale du destin, joué lorsque le Nouveau s'approche du Mur canadien.
Paroles
"South Park, le film: Plus long, plus grand et pas coupé"
Sheila:
Times have changed,
Our kids are getting worse!
They won't obey their parents,
They just want to fart and curse!
Sharon:
Should we blame the government?
Liane:
Or blame society?
Randy, Gerald, et Stuart:
Or should we blame the images on TV?
Sheila:
No, blame Canada!
Tout le monde:
Blame Canada!
Sheila:
With all their beady little eyes,
And flapping heads so full of lies!
Tout le monde:
Blame Canada!
Blame Canada!
Sheila:
We need to form a full assault!
Tout le monde:
It's Canada's fault!
Sharon:
Don't blame me,
For my son Stan,
He saw the darn cartoon,
And now he's off to join the Klan!
Liane:
And my boy Eric once,
Had my picture on his shelf,
But now when I see him, he tells me to fuck myself!
Sheila:
Well, blame Canada!
Tout le monde:
Blame Canada!
Sheila:
It seems that everything's gone wrong,
Since Canada came along!
Tout le monde:
Blame Canada!
Blame Canada!
Copy Shack Employee:
They're not even a real country anyway.
Carol:
My son could have been a doctor or a lawyer, rich and true,
Instead, he burned up like a piggy on a barbecue!
Tout le monde:
Should we blame the matches?
Should we blame the fire?
Or the doctors who allowed him to expire?
Sheila:
Heck, no!
Tout le monde:
Blame Canada!
Blame Canada!
Sheila:
With all their hockey hullabaloo,
Liane:
And that bitch Anne Murray too!
Tout le monde:
Blame Canada!
Shame on Canada!
For...
The smut we must stop,
The trash we must smash,
The laughter and fun,
Must all be undone,
We must blame them and cause a fuss,
Before somebody thinks of blaming us!
