  • Actually, the song, and this performance, is not by the Arrogant Worms (though it's often attributed to them). It's by a group called "Three Dead Trolls" which operated out of Edmonton for several years, but is now "disbanded".

  • Comment removed

  • @Stupidarrx3  It's called humor

  • But, but, but, nuh-uh! D:

  • lol I'm in History class, where we've been studying the War of 1812

    My teacher looked over my shoulder and made me play this for the entire class

  • Wow, i think this was the opposite of what i was looking for but im soooooooo subscrbing u :)

  • quit fighting over these things it just a song no should have started these comments if it gets you annoyed then go listen to the other version

  • Yes, the Canadians did burn down the White House. Then about fifty years later, they burned down their own parliament building, the equivalent of the US Capitol. Most Canadians don't want to hear about that (the ones who do blame the Francophones.)

  • I have a few messages to give to people.

    People insulting people: This shows everything that's wrong with our world.

    People who are all up-in-arms about the song: GET OVER YOURSELVES.

    Thank you.

  • Do you realize that the British came to Washington not you dumb ass Canadians. Also, the U.S. didn't lose the war the official term is everything returned to Status quo ante bellum, which by the way means that everything was what it was like before the war. Oh and by the way Canada was still under British rule in 1812, Canada wasn't even a country!

  • @cn7abc The british was the canadians you fucking cock nugget. Its called an alliance. You dumb fuck. Americans are fat as fuck anyway. Most countrys hate their guts.

  • @cn7abc I hope you are a troll. If not, here's a history lesson. The Canadians did come to Washington. We were still under British rule, but it was Canadian forces that burnt the Whitehouse. The U.S. did lose the war, but no property changed hands. Canada was nice enough to hand all the Forts like Detroit and Mackinac back to the U.S. If you don't believe me, wikipedia is your friend. Any questions?

  • @T3hBeanzor Canada didn't exist in 1812. The forces were technically British. Most of what is now "Canada" was, at the time, Iroquois or French.

    Besides, 1812 was nothing more than a dispute over hiring practices and labor laws. And the British lost.

  • @T3hBeanzor Furthermore, the war WAS mainly fought against the British, because it was half naval battles with British.

    The war was started because Britain kept violating america's neutrality in the British/French war after the french revolution and because they supplied the Indians with weapons.

    You also forgot the Battle of New Orleans, the last battle, in which America won, also the war ended with both sides having less war ships in the great lakes and US having more control over the Indians.

  • @mathclubgirl The Battle of New Orleans ended in British retreat. Why? Because they had gotten word that the treaty of Ghent was ratified. Also, the British forces didn't join in until part way through the war, as the Napoleonic war forced the British forces to focus elsewhere. This was part of why the U.S. invaded Canada too, as Canada would have no reinforcements. President Madison even went on to say "Taking Canada will be a mere matter of marching."

  • @T3hBeanzor No they didn't retreat they were killed on the battlefield and they didnt' know the treaty had been signed.

  • @T3hBeanzor and it was Jefferson not Madison who said a mere matter of marching

  • Lol... I am learning this song in class and i have to memarize it b4 we can stop listinging to it

  • because of my bro and this video i dislike many Canadians

  • @bulletpopper98 Why? Its history, can't Canadians be proud of it?

  • hay dumb fucks its the brits that did it

  • @anthony80088008 Nope, Canada did it. Canada was under British rule at the time, but it was Canadian military forces that fought.

  • @T3hBeanzor There was no Canada in 1812. Thanks for playing.

  • @mzmadmike There was, it just wasn't a separate nation from Britain. Canada had its own legislative assembly, but it wasn't until 1867 that Canada would be its own dominion. Saying there was no Canada is saying that the Americans didn't fight in the revolutionary war because they hadn't created the Declaration of Independence.

  • 106 people are just jelous

  • @Edius8888 I like the song. But no, they're not jealous. Or if they are, they have no reason to be. Speaking as someone who used to be Canadian but is now American.

  • whooo!!!!!! celebrate the 200th year anniversary by bringin som matches 2 Washington!!!!!!

  • People on here talking like they know what happened. Do some studying on the war before you make statements. Here are some historical FACTS:

    1 a British fleet left Britain stopping in Nova Scotia to pick up supplies & some Canadian Militia, sailed to the Chesapeake Bay, raided it, then sacked Washington,

    2 Washington & the Executive Mansion (White House) burnt in 1814 not 1812,

    3 the war ended in a crushing militarily & economical defeat for the US but the peace treaty maintain prewar status quo

  • Bring a pack of matches!... And we'll burn the whitehouse down!

  • LETS GO CANADA LETS GO (CLAP CLAP) LETS GO CANADA LETS (CLAP CLAP)!

  • To be fair it was a British unit that raided washington, chased off an american army. Ate their victory feast and stole Madison's silver. Oh and burned a pink marble monstrousity that was going to be named 'The Presidential Palace' .. so much less cool than 'The White House' (so named after the white paint covering the burns on the pink marble)

  • i used to burn stuff too then i took a arrow to the knee

  • I used to burn the white house too... Then i took a arrow to the knee

  • i live in america and LOVED this!

  • Love it!

  • 105 people are americian

  • @991434991434 Haha, I'm an American and I love this song...

  • @MindRenewal

    lol traitor!!! lol jkjkjkjkjkjkjk

  • Okay for all of you overweight americans, making fun of justin bieber isnt an insult we all hate him too.

  • who care who rule this world it will still lead to destruction of earth anyway. because that wht human are made for heheheh

  • ROFL LOL LOL LOL ROFL

  • Can't you people tell that perhaps this is a joke? Chill!

  • I believe that the U.S burning down the Canadian capitol was a bad idea, but Canada didn't burn down our white house. It was the British.

  • @bzalka23 The British did not burn down the white house. It was the Canadians, although still under British rule. Canadian were in the war, not the British-they just ruled over Canada at the time. They didn't send troops to the war-it was Canadian people. 

  • @AdorablyCuteDevil There were also British troops in Canada. The reason Americans had attacked Canada in the first place was to strike at the British empire for multiple reasons of which a few minutes of research would surely enlighten you.

  • This is Three Dead Trolls in a Baggie, not The Arrogant Worms - both groups are great but totally different individuals..

  • lol the best song ever about 100 of the views are mine

  • 1812-2012 the Royal Canadian Mint even has a commemorative coin. pity it's not a picture of us burning down the white house

  • Man i feel good being canadian i bet all fat amaricans will b hatin on me now but they now that the canadian british whooped there sorry asses and we BURNED there pride i for one am very proud we did it i dnt like amaricans (srry) just our contry is better becuz we can whoop ur ass xD aww mann canadians and britsh give this a thumbs up for knocking the shit out of the british!!!

  • @mocha99288 Though you don't make us look educated with all that bad spelling.

  • 102 Americans thought they won the war of 1812

  • Ahh, the War of 1812. Those fuckers who burned down the White House were the worst thing to ever come out of Canada... well, aside from that talentless kid with the stupid haircut.

  • @KingOfKatamari I'll agree with you about Beiber, but just chill dude. It's a joke. You don't need to make a bunch of dumb comments, that only serve to display your lack of composure.

  • @Avenger883 I realize that the song is a joke, and a quite funny and entertaining one at that. My comment was a joke as well. No need to get worked up about it.

  • @KingOfKatamari Good, but there still is no need to go using the f word right and left. Not everyone has stooped so low that it no longer offends.

  • Go shit in in your hat you useless BRITISH wannabees. We should have nuked your dumb asses

  • @IAmConscientious You wishhh

  • @kshhashim We actually did it like hell yeah

  • I cant believe my kids teacher showed this to her class. Canadian propaganda. The British burned the white house in retaliation. Not Canadians. Why are Canadians so preoccupied with us anyway?

  • @shackelfore Short answer: because we're awesome.

    Long answer: Canadians love to laugh at ourselves and others. We'll poke fun at just about anything, given the opportunity.

    "Canadian propaganda..." are you honestly so thin-skinned as to believe that this song is serious, and by extension, you get offended by it? Do you really think we're trying to indoctrinate your children?

    Lighten up.

  • FUCKING RIGHTS WE BURNED THE WHITE HOUSE DOWN!!!

  • is this a joke or did they actualy burned the whitehouse?

  • @kshhashim Its a joke.

    British forces under command of Robert Ross burned the White house & public buildings in Washington by the Request of the Governor General of Canada Prévost because of US actions taken in Canada that violated the conventions of war in particular the Burning of public buildings in York (modern Toronto)

    The British Parliament in London was outraged at the burning of Washington seeing it as excessive.

    They didn't understand how brutal the war had become.

  • ... You know America was the victor in the war of 1812.

  • @IAmConscientious Actually it was a truce that started a nearly 200 year alliance between our nations. You get our oil at a discount and we get your sitcoms, and documentaries for less.

  • @knate44 And we gave them Beiber, make them suffer.

    ROFLMAO!!

  • Proud Canadian <3

  • I showed this to my class of 8th graders as we began a unit on the War of 1812. We are in North Carolina

  • I'm American and this is freaking hilarious.

  • LOL

  • we all know whats gonna happen on june first :-D

  • I'm Canadian and American. I've been enjoying this song since my roommate at a Canadian university showed me this. She's vegetarian though, so I guess she'd be upset to find out these guys have the song "Carrot Juice Murder"....man, all of their stuff is so funny. It's beyond me how they come up with songs like "The Last Saskatchewan Pirate".

  • I'd like to see them try burning the capital now! We'd go up there and beat them down (no offence). My friend said that he'd like to see how fast a zambodi with a machine gun would go. LMAO!

  • i don't see how anybody (american or candian) could hate this song XD its hilarious

  • 1812: We try to invade Canada, they burn the White houe

    2010: We beat Canada in hockey at the Olympics

    2012: 200th anniversary of the War of 1812...

    Shit...

  • #CANADIAN

  • It obviously wasn't the Canadians who burned down the White House.

    It was the president trying to commit suicide after hearing Justin Queefer.

  • never fought in the alamo retards that was texans

  • Lol! Try to burn our whitehouse now! ;) war would last .2 secs.

  • @holmesbinton they thought that then too ;)

  • @holmesbinton Yeah buddy, you guys would get wrecked :)

    

  • Canada at that time was only a province of Britain, it wasn't yet it's own country until 1867. Still it technically was Canada.

  • @BrWoLfGiRl7lolz everyone knows they wont do it again.. Even they no know that they r to scared todo it

  • Y do canadians HATE america.. Im half canadian and I have tons of canadian friends whos moms and dads say america is better

  • my teacher showd me this song wcuz we are learning about the war of 1812

  • @thepyromaniac9927 Same!!!! Except we were simply bragging that the states SUCKS MAJOR ASSHOLE!!!!!! Oh and we beat them..... The white house is WHITE for a reason, good night my American fuckers

  • YEAH CANADA!! :D YOU SUCK AMARICA!!! XD

  • @purplerocks23 Ok Bieber lets see you don that now, LOL

  • I'm American and we watched this in class and I was the only one laughing like hell

  • i thought the brits controled Canada at that time? correct me if im wrong... but anyways funny song to listen to god bless the canadians and their bacon :D

  • @thelittlemind Yeah, they did. Canada was still a British colony during the War of 1812. :)

  • @SockyMonkeys i just wanted to clear up my confuzed mind that the canadians did this... i thought i slept during my history lesson.. phew :D

  • @aquachikk

    You probably don't burn your buildings because they are not important.

    You would if your country had any.

  • @Nakedpops You mad.

  • @Nakedpops No our igloos dont burn

  • No top comment well give me a fu*ing dollar or die

  • I love this song!!!!!!!

  • This is actually Three Dead Trolls in a Baggie. Same with "Toronto Sucks." And point of fact: A text written by a Brit claimed that, with the exception of one defensive fire and retreat by militia, all Canadian military actions were under the command of British professional soldiers and officers. Another fact: This was largely a reply to Americans burning York (Toronto). Nobody won or lost but no doubt it helped shape Canadian identity.

  • Actually it was the Loyalist from Canada who burned the white house down so it was Canadians. Canada was proclaimed Canada when the British came over and the french took on its name and became the Canadians. when the war of 1812 started the french sided with the British and the British peoples from America wanted freedom but in the end they didn't win or lose,

    The only Peoples that lost Were the Native American:(because they lost land and a lot of people to that war

    go to 3:53 read disclaimer!!

  • was it only me that in school that we learned that the british did it? o.o

  • It was the British who did it... my 4x Great Grandfather was there and he was English... not the Canadians... Canada was owned by Britain.. if you never knew...

  • @Jaxicul Just because we were owned by Britain does not mean we didn't do it. The Canadian militia did burn it.... Js. Good day sir.

    Form your CANADIAN pal... ElementBoy27

  • @ElementBoy27 As i said... My 4x Great Grandfather was at the war of 1812, He was English, not Canadian, and sure... 'CANADIANS' might have been there but they were the BRITISH army.

  • @ElementBoy27 The Canadian Militia... you mean... the British Army.

  • 1:04 and we're the ones who did it! XD LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOO the moral of this story: dont mess with us canadiens or we'll burn down your really important buildings, then 200 years later, we'll make a funny song about it to remind you of how bad we pwned you :p

  • omfg!!!! lol i love this song it is halarious!!! hahahahahahahahahaahha

  • It wasnt canada yet, but technically it was us!

  • Love this song, it's hilarious. Although it was our British soldiers who burned down the White House. Not the Canadians. So it's historically inaccurate.

  • While it was actually a vocal faction in Congress providing most of the war hawk mentality, we burned down modern-day Toronto first (with the British coming in by boat, not by Canada), the war technically ended in a draw (due to an armistice agreement, we settled our remaining beefs with the Brits diplomatically,) but was psychologically an American victory (we survived the onslaught of the largest superpower of the time and we WON a good deal of land battles too,) this remains an amazing song.

  • Comment removed

  • lets see you canadians do it again

  • @BrWoLfGiRl7lolz Actually, the British soldiers were the ones who burned down Washington...

  • @BrWoLfGiRl7lolz And your cherished Laura Secord stole from the White House. Let's see her do it twice. Oh wait, she did!

  • @BrWoLfGiRl7lolz Lets see all you americans die attacking us again

  • Im american... And it burned burned burn... love it

  • Then a tornado put the fire out and threw the British horses and cannons around. You guys lost to WEATHER...I wouldn't really brag.

  • @SpadaccinoLuciano Hang on a sec so ur pretty much saying that a tornado wouldnt have fucked the americans over if it hit them

  • people saying America won 1812 in the battle of New Orleans in 1814 are mislead, they won the battle,yes,however when the war finally ended lets look at conditions;borders were essentially in the same place as before, America's goal was to annex Canada the British, or Canadian or watever you want to call them simply aimed to defend, the incursions into American territory(burning of whitehouse etc) were primarily retaliatory, and a good example of the old adage "a good offense is the best defense

  • I am an american and i find this funny however it is historically in accurate...the white house wasn't called the white house until you guys burnt down the old capital building.

  • @Tannerpy Right it become the White House after it was burned down and re-built. However in the song calling the White House what it was known as during that time period (Executive Mansion) is not as rhythmic and most people would have no idea what it is.

  • @Tannerpy You are a little mislead/inaccurate yourself. Its a myth that the Executive Mansion was called the White House after it was rebuilt. In fact the first time the name appeared was 80 plus years after the war. US president Theodore Roosevelt was the first to nickname it the White House. Years later it became the official name. So the British or Canadians can't take any credit for the name White House, it's all Teddy's.

  • @tyklr

    Riiiiiiiiggggghhhhhht.........­...

    Dream on

  • Ha inferiority complex

  • Well the AMERICANS also burned the canadian capital take that

  • @tyklr no, when?

  • @tyklr I don't think there was an official capital in Canada at the time, since there was still an Upper and Lower Canada.

  • @tyklr The Americans only burnt York, the capital of the province of Upper Canada (now Ontario). So in today’s terms that's as if the Americans were to burn down Toronto & Canada replied by burning Washington DC to the ground. Upper hand to the British/Canadians.

  • @tyklr  canada did not burn down the white house it was the british,

  • @jmanvip1 It was before Canada was an independent country. So technically, it was Canadians under British control.

  • @jmanvip1 at the time britan and canada were in the same nation

  • @tyklr Yeah, no. they didn't. Idiot.

  • i LOVE being Canadian

    :D

  • Makes me proud I was born in Canada, but than I feel conflicted, cuz I live in the US now! And it "burns" me to say this, but yeehaw!

  • there were no "Canadians" until 1947 -- we were British Subjects in the Dominion of Canada

  • @paddicakes1 Still Canadians. Nobody referred to us as thoes British Subjects in the Dominion of Canada when the spoke of us, Canadians had a better ring to it.

  • @amazinggarrett1 i know idk my history on that war very well i just like picking on the US lol

  • urnt down our government buildings but then we attacked back and we won some and lost some now just be friends be happy we arn't enemies. :(

  • Ok ok a history lesson for everyone hear Canadian and American. The war started because THE BRITISH were illegally (wat the Americans said) boarding their ships and taking back THEIR FORMER sailors who abandon the British navy. The Americans sent some representatives to England to ask the queen to stop it but that took a long time to get there so it continued to happen then the US attacked UPPER CANADA AND LOWER CANADA (see it was called Canada!) the US then attacked York (now Toronto) and b

  • notice the part in the song when it says "the Americans won't admit it"

  • @MrBelldazar Of course, because as USAbonez says, Canada wasn't even a country. It was still a British territory at the time. Also, the Americans WON the war of 1812 at the battle of 1814. Sorry.

  • @amazinggarrett1 The Americans went into the war for better trade agreements, to stop the Royal navy impressing American sailors and (unofficialy) to take over Canada. They achieved none of that, got routed in 13 seperate invasions of Canada and had their capital burned down. So it would seem Britain won the war.

  • @tic07096903 I would like you to study again. we won the war of 1812 in the battle of 1814 now im done with all you willfully ignorant "prideful" dumbass canadians and Brits, if all you want to do is deny facts because you're "proud" of your accomplishments then stop replaying, also I hear alot "Canada are peace keepers" add up all the people that died (innocent) people in the war of 1812 and I want you to say that again, because wouldnt that make you all hypocrites? :)

  • @tic07096903 Also I would like to add that it wasnt the canadians ONCE AGAIN and the British did not win ONCE AGAIN but had it been the Canadians then that destroys the arguement "were a peace-keeping country" lol I knew Canadians were living in denial but next time you side with the USA whenever we say lets go hunt down "terrorist" realize that Canada the UK and America are all terrorists themselves.

    (even if I lost I just won.) ;)

  • @USABonez the US didn't win the war of 1812 it was a neutral outcome fucking imbecile the goal of the U.S was to annex Canada from the British which it failed to do and the British kept on taking US sailors for a good decade after the war

    Oh, and the British burnt down Washington DC not Canada the troops that burnt it down had been drafted in as veterans of the Napeolonic wars and had never even been to North America before

  • I love the Arrogant Worms, all their songs are hilarious. :)

  • By the way, amazing song. :)

  • This is NOT by the Arrogant Worms, people. It's Three Dead Trolls in a Baggie. It's not that hard, really? He sounds nothing like Trevor.

  • Of course, Canada didn't win the war, they just got dragged along on Great Britain's coattails, but despite that, our hockey team still sucks.

  • ITT: Butthurt Canadians

  • @chaynejr1 Also, if you're to insult Canada, learn your grammar and spelling.

  • @SavageBezerkEclipse yeah then how is it that you never hear about the caindian armed forces and I know america has some ruff eges but it's better than every where eles

  • @chaynejr1 You DO hear about the Canadian Armed forces in CANADA, We don't hear much about your forces over here. America is NOT better than every where else, my god how deluded are you!? America is the fattest country in the world, the worst type of health care, the most gang violence. I'm not saying Canada is the greatest either, but we're definitely better than America...I'd rather be legless and blind than live in America

  • @SavageBezerkEclipse We have health care for those who work there ass off to get it we are fat cause we have more franchises and companys selling out here maby if you didn't eat so much moose cock you would fatten up to

  • @chaynejr1 ....I'm done talking to you...you're a moron...good luck

  • @chaynejr1 You are a sad little human being, aren't you?

  • At least America is a real country.......Jk I love this vid.

  • Love this song!!:)<3

  • Can a Canadian please answer this question. Why do you think you won the war??? It was Britain who saved your asses from getting whupped by HUHMERICA!!! Go back to your igloo and go drink some maple syrup next to your fucking pet moose while watching Hockey on CBC

  • @luisespinax Please like if you are American, I want all the Canadians to see this when they watch this song

  • @luisespinax yes the British were the one's running the country (it would be another 55 years before we were an independent country) but the British provinces that were invaded by the Americans were called Upper and Lower Canada.

  • @luisespinax You americans are just shamed that we beat you in a war...get over it

  • @maplecreek662 1st Canada was NOT a country at the time, it was still owned by England, now if Canada WAS NOT a country, how could CANADIANS beat us?? Secondly, even if what you say was true id also point out no one burned the white house down, just damaged the interior, also Canadians fail to mention that we won the war of 1812 in the battle of 1814, do your research before you spout off dumb remarks, please.

  • @USABonez well as the song so wisely put it " The americans won't admit it!"

  • @daleharris12 Im not sure if thats a joke or if you're serious but if you're serious then you're quite the ignorant one however if its a joke then I dont see the punch line :P

  • I think Canada and the us should unite in order to form the USA the united states of awesomness!

  • You guys do know nobody won the war it was a draw plus the nay of pigs and the alimo were just battles and we won both of those wars now we didn't " lose " in Vietnam we just quit. Other than that great song lol
