Last time I saw a crop that bad a million Irish people died.

But I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier

I'm sorry, when I hear "Nova Scotianers", I think "Bubbles". I'm very sorry to those people.

Kitties are so nice.

You'll never hear anyone from there say "scotianer" it's just "Scotian"

Nova Scotian

But concur, kitties are very nice.

Dammit, now I'll have that in my head for the next week.

Funny thing is - that song started going through my head before the image loaded. Just the title was enough to kick it off.

Not as bad as the time I heard someone call us "Novers"

Wrong. Stan Rogers sitting around a kitchen table is the best version.

It is objectively the best rendition. Fight me.

[–] JoeyJoJoJuniour@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Can't be the best one, because it isn't Stan Rogers

[–] Mwallerby@startrek.website 4 points 1 year ago

TIL it's not "Cherbourg"

Hands down the best version.

I thought you summon Nova Scotians with 'smokes, let's go'.

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Kitties are so nice.

My kid would ask me to sing him this for bedtime.

Years later, went in for surgery. According to the nurses, I woke up in the recovery room singing this out loud.

"GODDAMN THEM ALL..."

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Ok that left me absolutely rolling. That's wonderful.

When I was young I'd always listen to the song in the car with my parents because it was the one time I was allowed to say "God damn"
