So...you're from Newfoundland, right? My DH brought home bunch of music by a Canadian band called the Arrogant Worms, and this song made me think of you.

A Night in Dildo

Oh Newfoundland, oh Newfoundland
An island in the sea
I love you oh so very much
I'd join the ministry

To show the people ‘round the rock
When tourist season's here
Although in my opinion
It's a gem throughout the year

Well if you're one for swimmin'
Don't think it's out of reach
You can go and take a dip along Grosse Water Beach
I know the name's misleadin'
That's quite a problem here
Instead let's go to Goobie's and have ourselves a beer

Chorus:
From Woody's Point to Come-by-Chance to good old Fairyland
Come take a look at Gander, Blackhead's mighty grand
Don't let their names deceive you
Newfoundland's mighty fine
So spend a night in Dildo if you think you've got the time

Well you can go to Blow-Me-Down
Before it gets too dark
Oh sorry ma'am, I should've said
That's our provincial park

There's also Whippet Harbor
Or maybe Butterpot
Or maybe I'll just hit the pub,
I'm feeling like a shot.

Well you can sail at Quidi Vidi
And look at Joe Batt's Arm
There's Placentia and there's Cow Head (moo)
They're so full of charm!

Get married down in Kilbride
Have a party in Hate Bay
Or have some screech in Fogo and forget about the day

Chorus

Drinking Verse:
-raa ra ra . .etc.

Chorus

So spend a night in Dildo if you think you've got the time (x3)




There's also one that sort of a public service announcement/commercial thing called "I is a Newfoundlander" but I can't find the lyrics online.

They say at the beginning of the track, before they start singing, that they got all the names from a map, so they're all real paces. Cracks me up.


And it took me a while to figure out what your "Newfie baby on board" blinkie was referring to. The only time I'd heard the term "Newfie" it was in reference to the dog breed. lol. I felt kind of silly when I realized what it meant. =Þ
