The Lyrics
Based upon a history video on The Pig War between the US and Britian, made by Oversimplified, that referenced All Star by Smash Mouth
U.S: Somebody once told me,
that Oregon wasn't for me,
that I ain't the sharpest Yank in the shed...
They were looking kind of dumb, with their
accent and the tea, and the big British flag over
their heads...
Well...
The Americans kept coming,
and they don't stop coming,
hopped in their wagons,
and they hit the ground rolling,
didn't make sense to keep sharing Oregon,
when we outnumbered the Brits, more then 6-1
So much land, for us to take,
so what's wrong with our Manifest Destiny?
You'll never know the American life,
if you don't become American for life!
Hey now, we're Americans, this is our turf,
get out!
Hey now, we are destined, to conquer, more land!
(And all that gold in Fraser Canyons, now we
sure ain't stopping now!)
Oregon's a cool place, and it's about to get
cooler, us Americans gonna settle and farm
here!
We finally got our strait line, all the way to the
Pacific coastline...
But one problem remains, some small islands,
wasn't made clear which side owned them,
US, or them, niether were sure,
well, it sure as heck won't be yours!
Hey now, we're Americans, this is our turf,
get out!
Hey now, these are our islands,
no British allowed!
(It's our Manifest Destiny, just deal with it,
and leave now!)
Hey now, we're Americans, this is our turf,
get out!
Hey now, these are our islands,
no British allowed!
(It's our Manifest Destiny, just deal with it...)
Some Brit once asked, "could we split between
the islands, it is only fair"
We said, "Yeah, that's a concept, it'd protect the
intrests of both parties,, but there's no way my
mind is going to change!"
WELL! THE AMERICANS KEPT COMING, AND
THEY DIDN'T STOP COMING, HOPPED IN OUR
WAGONS, AND WE HIT THE GROUND ROLLING!
Didn't make sense to share San Juan island,
when we still outnumber the Brits,
more then 6-1!
So many islands, for us to take, it is our
Manifest Destiny! You're never going to have
our islands, unless you become one of us!
Hey now, we're Americans, this is our turf,
get out!
Hey now, these are our islands,
no British allowed!
(It's our Manifest Destiny, just deal with it...)
(IT'S OUR MANIFEST DESTINY!)
just deal with it...
that Oregon wasn't for me,
that I ain't the sharpest Yank in the shed...
They were looking kind of dumb, with their
accent and the tea, and the big British flag over
their heads...
Well...
The Americans kept coming,
and they don't stop coming,

and they hit the ground rolling,

I just want to thank the people running this website for accepting my parodies. My last parody didn't get much attention at all but it did get a 5 star rating from somebody...I dunno why the first rating on this one id 1 star, either a troll, or a British-Canadian...lol
*is* Am unable to spell-correct my comment lol
Some idiot lied, they voted all 1s on this parody, but this song sure did match the original's pace exactly, and IMO it's funny as hecc. 5 stars!
Its s troll who hails from Great Britain-Canada. We have at least one pestiferous "Unabomber" (one of the names we bestow upon him) who does this to everyone. Moreover, someone has figured out how to post multiple ones bombs (and 5's as well), so ignore that as well
OK so I done looked your parody over, and if I wanted to get pissy, I could point to one or two minor pacing errors (where the parody doesnt "sing" like the original song) OTOH, "All Star" is a very long and difficult song, so well just ignore that and bestow 5s upon thee
Long time vet giving you a fairly balanced 345. Reads like a politically-charged Schoolhouse Rock song (The Great American Melting Pot comes to mind), but still enjoyable for not leaning on a side TOO much. Nothing wrong with Oregon, but as Bill Maher has pointed out, why in the world do we have a North AND south Dakota?
Thanks for the feedback, ya'll. And thanks, @CML for the troll tip. Trolls are just a common thing. And thanks, @Agrimorfee, I just based it upon an Oversimplified reference, they make history videos that are pretty good, you should check them out.
Wat da hecc 🤣
I'm an Oversimplified fan, and I'm sure they'd approve this parody lol
Agri, maybe you should watch the video this song is inspired from lol, you'd get the point of this song.
Well, Landon- I mean, "smashmouthfan" I read this whole thing, and it sounds catchy but I dont get it. Why did you reccomend this to me? And did you show this to those other two, cause they all commented today.
Sammy, yes, but I dont know who "TROLLBOTTER" is, may very well be an actual bot lol
The last 4 comments are fake and have no relation to me, idk who made them
Those comments are pretending to be friends of mines whom havent heard of my parody, someone please remove them
Ai remix of oversimplified's voice when? Nice job with the lyrical work tho. 👍
Could I do it? If you don't want to?
