  • Classy song classy singer.

  • Catchiest song I've ever heard.

  • the first minute may be Michael's most nuanced, meaningful singing ever. The rest is great too, but I really like the a cappella portion

  • So slow and mournful. I think this version would be excellent at state funerals, otherwise not so much!

  • this was the ORIGINAL version of the song - he didn't change it, he didn't screw it up -- and we were poking fun at our beavers!!!! we know how to make and take a joke world!

  • @stillpunk1419 they butchered it! There where some ties to the original song but they removed the idea of the Monarchy and our History in which we are proud of.

  • maple story forever

  • holy fucking fuck shit fuck face fuckers

  • I will never forgive this guy for butchering 'The Maple Leaf For Ever'.

  • WTF! He butchered the fucking lyrics! 

  • @MajBlood How about not "f*cking" true, in my opinion. Very classy and jazzy, from my perspective.

  • @Solistiall The original lyrics were better.

  • @MajBlood lol in my opinion it's best version out there so far ^^;

  • @darklifeproduction Not his singing but the lyrics are changed from the original version.

  • THIS SHOULD BE THE REAL CANADIAN ANTHEM!

  • @goldendude1994 it was the original national anthem but it had to many references to Britain that a fair bit of people disliked it for that reason,mainly the french (and my self I may add,though it does bring a very large sence of nationalism to,I have never been one to support the monarch though).

  • no no no no! this is NOT the maple leaf forever!

  • @AjaxAmsterdam34 Then what is it.

  • @AjaxAmsterdam34 what do you mean by that?

  • @mystiquesword

    It doesn't have the original lyrics, its been altered so that quebecois like him can accept the song.

    And there's no bagpipes, you can't not have bagpipes when you listen to the maple leaf forever...

  • @AjaxAmsterdam34 not true at all. it hasnt been altered for "the quebecois" he simply made a PARODY of it. nothing wrong with that. you DO know what parody is dont you? i suggest you get into weird al. his parody songs will help you appreciate this one more perhaps....its simply to show the humorous side of canada as a whole country..not JUST one stupid little province.

  • @mystiquesword not true at all. It's not a parody, it's a faithful replaying of a version of O' Canada developed from a controversial contest and which was adapted for the last hockey game in Maple Leaf Gardens. Look under the alternative lyrics sections on the Wikipedia page.

  • @Patarknightwiki idiot! this has NOTHING to do with "oh canada" AT ALL! not even the same fckng tune! go open a hymnal & play the actual "oh canada" song...you'll hear its way different from "strawberry fields!" its a parody. nuff said. others have called it a parody as well. you're the only nutcase ive ever seen saying its "oh canda" rehashed...

  • What happened to Wolfe planting Britannia's flag or us Canadians defeating the Yanks in 1812? Where is God saving our Queen? This version is a disgrace of the original patriotic song that our troops, pilots, and sailors sung and died under in two World Wars.This version with minor adjustments can be attributed with nearly any country in the world

    I am a young Chinese Canadian born in Canada who is proud of Canada's heritage and Canadian Monarchy/Crown. Long live Canada and God Save the Queen.

  • @DuckyKenneth1000 Oh shut it for christ sakes. Just appreciate it for what it is. I'm Irish Canadian, have had family here longer than yours I can guarantee that and I understood this artistic take fully.

  • @BeeVan19 What is it exactly is it to appreciate for what it is? And how does your family being here longer then his make you any more Canadian? By that logic the Native Peoples of Canada are probably more Canadian then everyone.

  • @DuckyKenneth1000 good...now..go learn about humor & parody & then come back here. micheal made a PARODY of it. nothing wrong with that. you DO know what parody is dont you? (listen to weird al to learn more about it)

  • I would pay good money to here him sing the first 1:09 sung with the old lyrics.

  • They could have sung the original lyrics instead of this shit. Buble stop singing this shit. be proud of your heritage and dont just fall the american way to singing to a flag and multiculturalism..

  • @jdi0093113 you're an asshole

  • @jdi0093113

    The American way? You know he's Canadian, right? -___-

  • @jdi0093113 i completley agree

  • @jdi0093113 does Buble sound even remotely american to you? He's Canadian, and Canadian born.

  • @2112murphy i remember a tv commercial from 15-20 years ago that ended with something like a rock band singing this song. has there ever been something like that recorded? i see lots of choral and orchestral arrangements on youtube.com, and, of course, buble, but i haven't seen a rock band or something similar doing it.

  • Je suis si fier d'être Canadien!! Je remercie mon Dieu de nous avoir donné un beau pays qui malgré son Gouvernement à l'heure actuelle a su se débrouiller dans le monde et a pu partager sa belle culture avec respect et amour! :) Merci Canada! Que vive le Canada et sa population!!! :) Bonne Fête du Canada.

  • yeah!

    now get this hockey game started and we'll drink some beer!!

  • SING THE ORIGINAL!!

  • Bleccccch! The REAL lyrics were penned in 1867, and these are most assuredly not them.

  • not the same, not the original lyrics. Boo.

  • proud canadian i loved the closing for the olympics so much fun and so true to canada 

  • and they changed our anthem why?

  • This song is so pretty! I can't believe I've never heard it before. Canada sounds like an amazing place, and listening to this song makes me very grateful to share a border with such an awesome country.

  • This song was far better before the CBC got their hands on it and felt the need to corrupt a previously patriotic and outstanding anthem for Canada. Political correctness is a real downer.

  • This is my favorite version --with newer lyrics that are more appropriate for modern Canada.

  • @Bosirant  That's right. Fuck heritage, let's aplogize for our history.

  • Uh, did no one teach him the lyrics then? He just made it up on stage?

    Bloody hell...

  • @tyso7540 umm... he got them right, those are the modern lyrics implemented bt Anne Murray

  • wtf is this,its cut short,where the beginning about coming from britains shore?and defeating the yanks in 1812,never deny your heritage canada,,from a disapointed brit brother :O(

  • I love this song. Watching this being performed during the Olympics really made me want to be Canadian.

  • @lokichan2004 XDD

  • I could never imagine being anything but Canadian! I am so proud of my nation and I truly believe I live in the most beautiful and noble country in the world <3

  • I'm remember watching this. XD My mom hates him, but I think he should do Anne of Green Gables (the musical theme, that would be a Canadian classic).

  • Michael bublé no matter what he sings, he's always great and even if i didn't really like the song, it's good... It makes me proud to be canadian too!

    I know i'm young and i don't know about everything but could we just shut the f*%? up and finally be united?? Every province is as important as an other...

  • Oh & anyone else hear the opening to Hockey Night In Canada at the end?

  • Canadians have got an abundance of laughter and goodwill ;)

  • I would love to hear him sing the original version.

  • Anyone who doesn't have a job only has themselves to blame. Don't blame an immigrant who happily cleans up your feces off toilets, runs your local convenience store, and pretty well do every job that white Canadians think they are too good for. And for the record I am a white, anglophone Canadian male. Quit blaming immigrants for your issues. Maybe your just an incompotent arrogant asshole and thats why you cannot find a job

  • @SuperMellix You stupid fuck! I'm from Ottawa, where if your not a french speaking afro-chinaman, you have no chance of getting employment in the federal government. It's only a matter of time before our whole country is run by foreigners and seperatists.

  • @2112murphy Ya FUCK Nickelback

  • They probably had silver medals standing by, just in case of tragedy.

  • why oh why did they do this abomination version of "Maple Leaf Forever"

    at least give it a different name as it is not the same song. It has no historical underpinnings and no message... why why why

  • I am an immigrant. Everyone is. Who isn't? Even those Britons and Aborigines who settled here. What counts is that you are proud to call Canada your home. I am proud to be Canadian no matter what.

  • This song makes me feel like Christmas! XD

  • r u kidding, canadians LOVE poking fun.... i for one love when ppl think our stereotypes are real lol. great fun... and i loved everything about the closing!

  • This was BAD in the 2010Olympic Winter Games. It was a discrase to Canada, No wonder were called the place with Giant Beavers!!!

  • I personally think the original version is like a trillion times better. Dont you agree? I love Canada's rich tradition and history. The newer version just talks about Canada's landscape. P.S My parents came from China but i was born here.

  • of courage, peace and quiet strength. The Canada that I love. ♥ Isnt it true?

  • has anyone stopped arguing for five seconds to realize how AMAZING and gorgeous michael buble's voice is?!? incredible!!!!

  • Angliches...vieillards prématurés !

  • Les Angliches, faut s'en débarasser, On les embarque sur des pétroliers, Par tranches de six cent mille, Une fois rendus dans les îles, Un craque une allumette, Ça va sentir les croquettes. Ainsi sera finalisé et résolu, Le problème de ces cocus. Et les Ricains, on les élimine, On les envoie dans les mines, À leur tour de baisser la tête, Traqués comme des bêtes.
  • WHAT THE FUCK WMG BLOCKED HAVEN't MET YOU YET IN CANADA.

  • those are some sexy mounties. i wonder what they look like in there panties

  • How about we all shut the fuck up, I'm British, I'm part french, But I'm a Canadian First, thats all that matters, If your Canadian, and proud. Then thats all that should matter

  • @zachy3621

    Boy-scout...tu resteras un puceau même avec une multitude d'arrières petits enfants!

    Yeault

  • @yvonkcaouette Well, Its quite obvious your gay, you should really go for a swim in the arctic wearing swimshorts... you defective fetus

  • @zachy3621

    Angliches, boyscouts à la quéquette minuscule!

  • Mackey164, seriously, you need to shut that hole in your face, unless you are first nations; your family are originally immigrants. A little hypricritical don't you think? And we need immigrants, Canada has a declining population without immigration. Who do you think will be paying your hospital bills and pensions when you are old. Asshole. I'm born in Canada, and am very proud that Canada is a country that has enough compassion to let others in not turn them away.

  • @p1listener

    How far do we go back until we are no longer considered immigrants? The first nations came here from Asia, are they immigrants? My family came here in 1604 and founded Acadia. I do not consider them immigrants in the slightest.

  • I hate this version of the song, seems to be more for the immigrant population and in fact was written by an immigrant. The old version was a million times better!

  • its a shame they edited out the original songs.

    Canada spits on its history.

  • Une partie considérable des fortunes angliches se sont édifiées par la collaboration avec les nazis. Et ils continuent de se sentir supérieurs...bande de tarés !!!

    Ils peuvent bien avoir la peau aussi blanche que celle des cochons.

    HYPOCRITES HYPOCRITES HYPOCRITES !!!

  • @yvonkcaouette France de Vichy est une véritable collaboration avec les nazis.!

    Vichy france is real collaboration with the nazis.!!

  • @NumberDne

    On parle pas des Français...on parle de vous les Rostbifs !!!

  • Why the fuck are people arguing about the things they'r arguing about?? This has ABSOLUTELY NO RELATION to the song or singer here, for God's sake find something to agree on or learn to shut the fuck up.

  • bubble bubble bubble !

  • i live near where michael buble is from.

  • Comme Bonaparte devant l'Italie & L'Autriche, Yvon-Karl va reconquérir notre bien province par province!!!

    Qu'un empire...

  • @yvonkcaouette

    No, we saved Canada from the tyranny of the French empire and treacherous scum like you and you'll never, never, never take our land. The Quebecois and Royal France never set foot in my province in the past, so it IS NOT YOUR LAND, it is of aboriginal and later British origin. British Columbia was co-explored by Britain and Spain, and colonised by BRITAIN, not France. It will remain Britsh Columbia, never French Columbia

  • @Falwren

  • @yvonkcaouette

    Shake all you want, because neither we, nor the Crown are going anywhere. Our forefathers built this country to be something, and we will never forget their sacrifices against traitors: quebecois, fenians, nazis, whoever etc.

    GO BACK TO YOUR PEDOPHILE, PROTESTANT BURNING JESUITS IN FRANCE AND QUIT HARASSING US!!!

    LIKE MY ULSTER (Northern Ireland) ANCESTORS SAID: NO SURRENDER!!!

  • Comment removed

  • Moi, je viens ici pour écouter du Bublé et je tombe sur Caouette? Je ne sais pas s'il est nécessaire de le mentionner mais il a un peu trop de temps libre! Imagine, Caouette, tout ce que tu pourrais faire de constructif avec ton temps si tu ne le gaspillais pas à écrire des commentaires puériles et sans fondement sur un vidéo random! Si la question de la culture et de la langue te tient tellement à cœur, pourquoi ne te présentes-tu pas pour un parti quelconque ou comme député indépendant?

    I'LL HAVE YOU KNOW WE FIND YOU TO BE BACKWARDS, RUDE, AND TREASONOUS TERRORISTS, FOR YOU ARE DESTROYING EVERYTHING CANADIANS FOUGHT AND DIED FOR, AT YPRES, VIMY, PASSCHENDALE, DIEPPE, AND ORTONA. A MEMBER OF MY FAMILY WAS SHOT 3 TIMES AT YPRES IN 1915 PROTECTING CANADA, WAS ONE OF YOURS? NO, THEY WERE JUST WHINING IN THE BACKHILLS.

  • @yvonkcaouette Le Canada est multiculturel, Québec est simplement français - sans tolérance à n'importe quoi ce qui n'est pas le français! C'est le problème. Nous vous acceptons, mais tout ce que vous faites est se plaignent. Québec reçoit plus d'argent Fédéral que n'importe quelle Province anglaise et tout de même vous vous plaignez que ce n'est pas assez! Les terres sont toujours ici, les gens comme vous refusent d'en faire partie!

  • @Zirefiles

    Imbécile!!! C'est nous qui vous acceptons !!!!

    Grands criss de boyscouts hypocrites & calculateurs!!!

    Les Angliches, c'est même pas du vrai monde... c'est dla viande qui occupe le territoire pour le compte de la couronne britanique!!!

    Angliches = Faux-cul Monarchistes-Racistes !!!

  • @yvonkcaouette

    Guess again traitorous scum. WE won the battle of the Plains of Abraham. France TRADED you for some sugar islands, and WE gave you language and religious rights. If you accepted us, then why isn't the President of France Canada's head of state?

    What great lot of separatists, cowards, and traitors

    The Quebecois, you are an object of pity..it is the stain occupying our country for Nicholas Sarkozy (remember de Gaul's visit?).

    Quebecois= FLQ murderer traitor.

  • @Falwren

    Ahahahahah...délicieux !!!

    Viv la Qwebec libwe !!!

  • @yvonkcaouette

    If anything your comments have been entertaining at best and mildly funny at worst. However, as said before, no matter how much you whine, Canada will still be a constitutional monarchy, and Quebec will still have lost in 1759.

    I have two words left: you lose

  • @Falwren

    Ahahah...c'est toi, mec, qui me parle de séparation, de FLQ, et même de "Québécois". Il faut que tu puisse concevoir qu'il y a ici, dans ce pays, des citoyens canadiens(mon ancêtre était traducteur pour les Jésuites devant les Hurons&Iroquois) qui s'expriment dans la langue de Molière, et qui ne veulent pas que le pays se divise. Ils ne désirent qu'une chose dans leur coeur: SE DÉBARRASSER DES VIELLARDS DÉPRIMANTS, CHAUVINS & MONARCHISTES !!!

  • @yvonkcaouette

    Ils voudraient les embarquer sur des pétroliers, par tranches de 600,000 ...une fois arrivés en haute mer, un crake une allumette ...

    (Ça va sentir le rostbif grillé)

    Car, ce qu'ils veulent, cette sombre populace, ces hypocrites arriérés, n'a rien de canadien, en réalité. Ils veulent faire de ce pays une réplique de l'Angleterre, avec la vieille sur le trône.

    Dans l'cul, c'est sur nos cadavres que vous le ferez !!!

    Yeault

  • @yvonkcaouette

    And you too know nothing of my complex and diverse heritage. My only loyalist ancestors were GERMAN and SWISS, not English (GET THIS THROUGH YOUR HEAD IMBECILE) and they wanted nothing more than RELIGIOUS FREEDOM, which the Crown gave them, but which your child-molester jesuits burned people for. We will never surrender our homeland to racist terrorists like you.

    GOD SAVE THE QUEEN AND HEAVEN BLESS THE MAPLE LEAF FOREVER!

    GOD PRAISE THE GLORIOUS MAJOR GENERAL WOLFE!

  • @Falwren

    Mouahahahah !!! Gloire au major Wolfe...Arrête mec !!! Je vais faire pipi dans mes culottes, je ris trop !!!

    Ta liberté de religion...tu peux t'la fourrer dans l'cul mec !!!

  • @Zirefiles

    Ton multiculturel...fourre toi-le dans l'cul !!!

  • @Zirefiles

    Sale hypocrite...TU ME DÉGOUTE !!!

  • Oh... he's singing... THAT version.

    Not having the real words = downthumb

  • @wilkes85 ... not sure if I'm supposed to "down thumb" or "up thumb" this statement. I totally agree with you, though. The original version is much better. :)

  • Ever since I saw him do this in the closing ceremonies, I've had it stuck in my head, and will wander around singing it to myself. I probably wouldn't get so many odd looks if I were on the Canadian side of the border! :)

    This song reaffirms my status as a Canadaphile....and a fan of Michael's music. :)

  • @caharris1974 lol thats soooo funny, just for the heads up, if you were on my side of the border you would get really strange looks probably even more so....any looks you would get would be like " why is a yank singing a marching tune? about canada's history

  • This is an incredible piece of music. As always, Michael you never cease to amaze me with your incredible talents! I am from Vancouver and I greatly wish I could've been in BC Place to see him perform this song live. Quite frankly I found a lot of the ceremonies a little weird but Michael's amazing voice made it all worth it. I feel so patriotic to Canada when listening to this song!

  • does anyone have the actual video of this?

  • This is crap. Don't get me wrong, I love Michael Buble and I love Canada, but I hate this version of the song, it's a disgrace to our history and heritage.

  • @flosssock how is this a disgrace well the girl mounties are but tahts all this song shows canadian pride

  • @AtooZ17 The girl mounties? And well it may show some Canadian pride, but it shows nothing of Canada's roots or history, and that is what Canada is built on, thats what she really is

  • @flosssock i don't think it is a disgrace, but if someone who has never heard the original takes this as the actual song i can see where your opinion lies, if i had never heard the original i would have no idea what song this was

  • @MissAlbaNuadh I agree, and it is a good song but I just don't see the problem with the original.. but thats probably because I'm not some republican with too much time on my hands lol

  • @flosssock amen

  • Thanks Michael, if you want to trash a dignified song through the scrub-bush and turn it into some Las Vegas style menagerie of overly bosom blessed Mounties sexually humping themselves over speed-bumps? Is this your idea of class? Pretty sad, dude. Canada means more to me than that, Michael. I love Canada, and they did a 100% great job on the Vancouver Olympiad. Share the pride Michael, or go to LA and tell people you're from Seattle, man. Peace.

  • Buble wouldnt sing the British version though because hes French canadian.

  • this song is awesome!

  • original was better

    The Maple Leaf

    Our Emblem Dear,

    The Maple Leaf Forever.

    God save our Queen and heaven bless,

    The Maple Leaf Forever.

  • Michael Buble is so great.

  • The Maple Leaf FOREVER! =) ILY CANADA!

  • it reminds me soo much of the old 50s music genre xD

    the coolest/ jazzest song ever!!

    thx 4 the upload

  • I loved this! I wish I could find the video of the whole number...

    Lyrics wise, I think the new version had the right idea, but went too far with it. Lob out the war stuff and Wolfe, but be sure to throw in more heritage and less geography and general inspirational drivel. Keep the queen and toss in some stuff about the natives, and your set.

  • this song might be old and have a lot to do with canada being in the british commonwealth, it is important not to forget our countries history and how it came to be. How much would things be different if say another country settled here.

  • This is the best-sounding patriotic song ever!

    Plus Michael Buble's singing it... that makes it about 10x better. at least.

  • I come from a family that has been in Canada for centuries and I could give a hoot about the British Monarchy.

  • The English part of me has only been here for 4 generations and I still don't care about the monarchy or the queen.

  • Hearing this at the olimpics... It was like I know this song I know this song.... then I was like it can`t be the maple leaf forever.... Then I was like IT IS.

  • I'm insulted this is a horable version of the Maple Leaf forever.... Give me the origaial anyday over this one. People tend to forget the Canada is part of the British Comomwelth and HAS A QUEEN.

    The Maple Leaf, our emblem dear,

    The Maple Leaf forever!

    God save our Queen and Heaven bless

    The Maple Leaf forever!

  • @Erivah

    The old lyrics isolated patriotic Canadians like I not of British nor French descent.

    I want a Canada that stands together in this modern world as a unified multicultural society.

  • @johnlewisy Guess what john, Canada in its present form was founded by the British and French (French pre 1763) and British (post 1763 although NS and NFLD go back further) so get over it. I'm offended that my great grandfathers and grandfathers all fought under the real maple leaf forever to secure Canada's freedom only to allow liberal politically correct heritage butchers like you to insult my country, and I do say my country since you seem to dislike it and its history so much.

  • @Falwren

    Guess what! That was THEN! Now, EVERYTHING has changed. We make up over 20% of Canada's population now and in the cities, there is an even higher density of other ethnicies (not including whites). I don't dislike my nation, this is my home where I was born and raised. I have studied our history quite extensively and I respect the actions of the loyalists who fought so bravely against the Manifest Destiny and also General Issac Brock who helped hold off the Americans.

  • @johnlewisy

    People like you are ruining this country, I hate when people come to this country, live off the government and do not change there life style at all to suit there new nation. Instead they pollute our country with there own way, destroying the once rich canadian culture. I'm not trying to say you cant be proud of were you came from and keep your herratige, but your no longer in the 3rd world your in Canada, try acting like it.

  • @Mackey164

    your sounding like Americans with their cultural melting pot, so I guess your the one destroying Canadian culture ever consider that.

  • @nimbootelime

    I really admire the American melting pot, (that's the only thing I admire them for). I wish Canada had something similar. Unfortunately we don't.

    The last part of your comment made no sense.

  • @Mackey164 Immigrants come to this country for a better quality of life- do you think that people from 3rd world Africa come here to live in mud huts and poverty again? No, they come here to up their quality of life and still be able to live in their culture confidently. A little like those who settled the America's came here to escape the religious constraints of Europe and be free to worship the way they wanted to. Multiculturalism is in our Constitution - it's part of what makes any Canadian!

  • @joevinc27

    Multiculturalism doesn't work, its been proven.

  • @Mackey164 proven by who? And how? Canada is living proof multiculturalism can work in a society. It's as simple as different cultures coming together and being able to respect each other. Sure, there will be some flaws, but it works off a principle everyone learns in grade 2...

  • @joevinc27

    My example is Britain, and parts of Europe. One day if Canada keeps its immigration laws as is will have the same fate. I'm sick of governments bending over backwards to be politically correct, that's what will end this country.

  • @Mackey164 -- I'm sorry for being so persistent, but could you please elaborate on how Britain has suffered from Multiculturalism? I'm genuinely interested - and it's not a matter of political correctness - it's called respect and equality...

  • @joevinc27 not true canada is a prime example of how people from other countries can become illegal citizens and have more rights than the damn people who live here

  • @longliverocknroll5 well said !

  • @longliverocknroll5 ANY country is any example of how illegal immigrants can come into a society. Legal immigrants to a country are offered the same basic rights as any other Canadian... if you think otherwise, you're just fooling yourself. Just because an immigrant gets a job, doesn't mean that someone who was born and raised in this country was shoved into the gutter to make room for them. There are meant to be equal opportunity for ALL Canadians, immigrant or not.

  • @joevinc27 that's not what i said. try reading. i was speaking of illegal immigrants who, in canada are granted MORE opportunities than citizens. so get off your high horse a read a little closer before you jump down my effing throat
