How to Speak Canadian
Hosers, Toques, and Two-Four
Most countries have their own slanguage, and Canada is no exception. Here is some of the slang used in this song:
toque: pronounced t'yewk; this is a knit cap, sometimes called a toboggan
two-four: pronounced toofer; this is a 24-pack of beer
hoser: pronounced hozer; this is a loser, harking back to the days when the loser of a hockey game would have to hose down the rink

What ARE the Twelve Days of Christmas?
This is part of the banter leading up to the song, which was deleted from this video version. But it is very important information!
Bob: Hey, hoser! Here's a quiz ... quiz for Doug.
Doug: Okay, I got my thinking toque on!
Bob: Yeah, right. What are the twelve days of Christmas?
Doug: Um.
Bob: Cuz figure it out, right? Christmas is when?
Doug: The 25th.
Bob: Right. Well, what's the 24th? Christmas Eve, right.
Doug: That's two.
Bob: Then, what's after that?
Doug: Wrestling Day?
Bob: No.
Doug: Boxing Day.
Bob: That's three. Then what's after that? Nothin'.
Doug: New Year's.
Bob: Four.
Doug: New Year's Eve.
Bob: Five. Where d'ya get twelve?
Doug: Uh ... there's two Saturdays and Sundays in there, four. Thats nine, and three other days which I believe are the Mystery Days.
"The twelve days of Christmas are actually
Christmas Day to Epiphany,
December 25 - January 6."

Amazon Price: $5.99 (as of 07/11/2009)
Dave Thomas and Rick Moranis created their popular toque-wearing, beer-swigging "Great White North" hosers Bob and Doug McKenzie on the great TV comedy show SCTV to fulfill a Canadian broadcasting regulation that required Canadian shows to have a certain amount of "Canadian content." Bob and Doug became so popular that they made a hit record (Take Off, with Geddy Lee, nasalist with the Canadian rock band Rush) and this Major Motion Picture--filmed in "Hoserama." Bob and Doug are the Cheech and Chong of beer, so the plot involves the boys's attempt to scam a free case of Elsinore beer from the brewery, which is run by a mad scientist Brewmeister Smith (Max von Sydow), who wants to rule the world, like all mad scientists do. Strange Brew's intoxicating blend of hops and malt--er ... cleverness and silliness--earned it a loyal and well-deserved cult following. --Jim Emerson

"Christmas at Ground Zero" is, quite possibly, my favorite Weird Al Yankovic song of all time. It is certainly my favorite Weird Al Christmas song, though my kids vote for "The Night Santa Went Crazy."

I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas is definitely my favorite funny Christmas song, much to the dismay of my family. However, I was a teen-ish-ager when Bob and Doug were big...so I can almost do this song along with them! Can't believe I've missed this lens when I've been visiting your lenses!
