In this South Park song the parents decided to blame Canada for the trouble their children have been getting into since watching the Canadian-made movie Terrance and Phillip: Asses of Fire and imitating what they saw and heard in the movie.

The parents refuse to accept that by not preventing their children from watching Terrance and Phillip in the first place, they are themselves to blame for their children’s misbehavior. “Blame Canada” satirizes scapegoating, and parents that do not control “their children’s consumption of popular culture”.

The song (BELOW) was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Song (1999). This created controversy, because all nominated songs are traditionally performed during the Oscar broadcast, but the song contained the word fuck, which the FCC prohibits using in prime time broadcasts. At the 72nd Academy Awards, Comedian Robin Williams performed the song with a chorus who gasped when the word was to be sung (Williams turned around at the crucial moment, and did not actually sing it).

Inspite of a great performance, The Academy Award was instead awarded to Phil Collins’ song “You’ll Be in My Heart” which was parodied on an episode of South Park released the following year, “Timmy 2000”, as “You’ll Be in Me”.

In that episode, Collins, who acts as the episode’s antagonist, was always seen holding his Oscar statuette. At the end of the episode, it gets painfully stuck up his rectum.

WhatDreamsMayCome.org is echoing Robin William’s spiritual legacy to bring MORE kindness to the world.

Beginning on Robin’s 64th birthday we started publishing some of his most inspirational works, tributes or those who are being Robin for someone else.
