NoFX - "Franco Un-American" Fat Wreck Chords

[Thebeginingisner]

I live in Canada and we used to have a bunch of heathenish homosexual orgies,we all worshiped effigies of stalin, we had a public health system which resulted in the death of millions, we had bank regulations, and we were a force for good with our peacekeeping. Thank god all that has changed sins Stephen Harper took office, he is a great man who is making us more like the America everyday :D. We were blessed to have Jack Layton die of cancer :D

[batarajarock]

they're love public enemy

[xSatyrx666]

93 gingers and rednecks

[NickIsTheName02]

@Johanlegnar You sir, can't put up a a decent comment.

[supermegaowner]

"I read some Howard Zinn and now I'm always depressed."

HAHAHA!

[Sentinal6]

At lwast when bush was standing next to his pile of shit he stood by it. Obama would blame it on someone else...... why is it that all politicians democratic or republican are 100 percent corrupt. Shame

[TheRevantproduc]

@Sentinal6 No honest man can be a politican, they're all just powerhungry fucks.

Worst part is, most people buy their bullshit

[dodo64121]

I don't understand why they refer to french people in this song ?

[duder215]

@dodo64121

I think Franco means "frankly" as in sincerely.

[dodo64121]

@duder215 Oh ok, thanks, I'm French and I tried to traduce lyrics, it's not very easy ^^

[Scryyn]

@dodo64121 @duder215 actually guys Franco American is an American who immigrated from France or has had ancestors that lived in France. I am not 100% sure but i believe George Bush is Franco American so it's just generally talking about him and the other "I-don't-care-icans".

[Schm1dd11]

Band Cover..

[zerohero45]

or you could move North and be a Canadian like me, !

[zippizuppizappi]

We all know George Bush is an imbecile

He loves Dick but he hates homosexuals

We're sick and tired of the embarrassment

The whole world wants us to get a better president

Still real kicker lines :D

[piexpiexpiex]

Even after all these years, this song still makes me crave canned ravioli and pasta. (yes. I love the message you poo poo negatives, but after the10,000th time it will make you hungry too)

[batarajarock]

AWFULL TRUTH RIGHT...??? AMERICAN GOV SUCKS....!!!!

[TheDarkeyes77]

@FuckVeVoFicial j'adore ton pseudo :)

[HammerOvThor]

Read some Bastiat or some Friedman for fuck's sake! Put down that Chomsky unless it's about linguistics.

[sethpecekajus]

haha even lower mate NZ!

[TheCoolclassic]

Michael Moore proved it, Canada and Australia are very safe when it comes to gun related deaths. NOFX did their research.

[jacksonsouthornmusic]

no effects eh? what's up with this keyboard shit!

Good song, but it would have sounded much better if the keyboard was another guitar track.

[TheYoungWildAndFree]

YES FUCK YA CANADA'S AWESOME !!!!

[baharayana]

thats, real man, thanks nofx you made my day

[smaskarn8623]

@2dogslide

It was in Norway

[tang881]

What's up with the 'Franco' ? What have we done, we, the French ? =P

[tang881]

@kkami182 I mean, what have the french done more than any other country to be featured negatively on that song ? ;)

[FuckVeVoFicial]

@tang881 on est le peuple qui a élu sarko ^^

[alwayssum41]

@FuckVeVoFicial Ouais mais à cette époque il était pas président

[Undead88130]

@tang881 I dunno :D

[Sunniii112]

fucking great! (;

[Auslogggen]

why bush burns the "we are the people" lyrics? :O

[FvckTheFvckingSystem]

@Auslogggen It's a symbol for how Bush has taken away true democracy and replaced it with corporatism, elitism, and aristocracy.

[sethpecekajus]

@Auslogggen the patriot act man took away a ton of rights because fighting terrorists on the other side of the world makes it ok to take the rights of americans away.

[Esormai]

I've been looking for a good term for Americans. I think 'I Don't Care-ican will do nicely.

[aniharman100]

@Esormai I have one... But it will work only in Hebrew...

[MusicIsMyStrength]

@Esormai That just about explains everybody here!

[Shinkowai95]

FANTASTIC..!!!!!!!!!!!!!



[kargath101]

i love nofx. but this is a VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY ignorant song.

[theoriginalHUFFnPUFF]

@kargath101 punk is "ignorant" as you call it but it has a strong message and i think most people who have watched this agree with the message

[ginch17]

@kargath101 it's parody you dumbass

[arnaldo1124]

@kargath101 I dont think is ignorant song my brother, it is just the awful truth...these guys were very brave to do it while Bush was in power,.. my respects..

[SteinUndStahl666]

@arnaldo1124

What was brave about it? The media was constantly shoving anti-Bush stuff down our throats back then.

[eldolorcosmico]

why does this shit video appears as a sugestion in a Korzus video? Fuck youtube, youtube is shit.

[eldolorcosmico]

¿porque sale esta mierda maricona como recomendacion a un video de korzus?

[honigismylife]

Beer not Bombs

[AnneSoInsane]

Are breath mints from horses??

[PunkRockCovers]

I can watch this videoclip for hours. Nuff said.

[RoboGeek123]

NOFX FTW!!!!!!!!! PUNK FOREVER!!!!!!

[securityinnumbers]

check out our brand of punk rock

[MusicLovingGirl93]

Great song! You mis-capitalized "NOFX" though. It's all caps. ;)

[UBAJB]

fuck nofx ni wa kushangaza!

in case you don't speak swahili that means: fuck nofx is awesome!

[DropJunks]

@UBAJB Why didnt you write in english in the first place.

[UBAJB]

@DropJunks becus nofx is so fucking good that i had to write in several languages... or something

[NotSoAmericanIdiot]

"Or hang down low with the nice Australians" Yay! That's me! :D

[BombenYoda]

was bedeutet nader?

[avkdude]

Is this an official video by NoFX? Im asking since they never usually make videos.



[kvikke2211]

@avkdude yes it is and offical vidio... they also made seeing double at the triple rock

[TheNickhoofd]

why are there advertisements on a NOFX video -_-'

[Allister1823]

NoFX are the most contradictory band on the planet. Fat Mike changes his opinion's every half decade. Remember he used to slate vegetarians? Well now he is a spokesman of PETA. Anyone who actually believes that NoFX are still together for any reason other than money is delusional. All Fat Mike care's about is money. He doesn't give a fuck about his fans and how "Punk" is that? Very conservative opinions for such a inspirational "liberal"

... but god I love them.

[ganaron]

@Allister1823 Bro, you can't say NOFX is in it for the money, when they don't make any money. in my opinion tey're probably the most underreated bands of all time.

[MangaAddict13]

dude a GE ad on a NOFX song..... youtube fuckin sold out big time....

[linksmx]

Lol gasoline isnt red, haha they've failed

[kvikke2211]

@linksmx WTF... it's a cartoon...

[InTheRed23]

Go Vegatarian! :D

[EmoKidRH]

Why The FUCK Was There An Advert For An RnB Compilation Album Before A NOFX Video?!

[coolerbenuk]

@EmoKidRH Well since none of us are gonna buy that shit (i hope), we might as well sit back and enjoy the irony.

[thexeconomy]

im not a flag, im not a number, im a person

[vote55]

Why take all the bad things when life is so good =D

[skysetss]

MONTREAL french poeple! french and free from that damn canada red flaggers !!! YEA!!! FREE QUEBEC!!!!

[skysetss]

fat mike we love you from MONTREAL!!!!

[NagantOwn]

Ill see NOFX this summer :D

[Mabalte09]

J'adore ce morceaux, NOFX: always in my heart ( with Bob Marley x) )

[indreamweaver]

Fuck advertisements. Just let us watch the damn video.

[XCutePupa]

That's what a song should be about !

[julsjulajulieta]

what does the title of the song mean?

[riottto]

Those pesky whales. Allways acting all though.

[codyjshaw]

I thought it was phat wreck chords

[lercha90]

whats fat wreck chords?

[BlankTV]

@lercha90

Fat Wreck Chords is Fat Mike's record label, home to some amazing punk rock for the past twenty-one years.

Nick

BlankTV

[theoriginalHUFFnPUFF]

@BlankTV oh man you need to look up every band thats ever been on that label

[blakepinder7]

@lercha90 a music company created mainly be Fat Mike , they publish a lot of bands includung them selves

[Gamestar234]

@lercha90 I will ask google before i ask questions ! say it 100 times

[SexyMusik1]

@Gamestar234 LMAO

[BerserkingN00b]

i should move to canada with sum 41

[CanuckReviews]

[dragonetx2]

@CanuckReviews Too fucking cold, lolz, otherwise I would

[vitaemecha]

@CanuckReviews if you can get past the sensible immigration policy lol

[MegaFatTroll]

Great, love them

[lefteris1208]

clap...clap...clap...clap ...clap ... nothin more to say just perfect

[foxonyoutub]

FUCK fpsdrop....

[TWolfeTone1]

@ Ponyishere they are actually ridicoulously uncontroversial. Not to say they aren't right.

@ NoFX You glorify Australia too much. We may have public (it aint socialised, stupid yanks) healthcare and no death penalty but we also lock our refugees in prisons (detention centres but same diff) and have a higher global emition impact per head than any other nation.

[Galidor38]

@TWolfeTone1 Yea, I agree, we're basically America without the death penalty.

[Maediz18]

[fromdaghettowithlove]

I think Billie Joe said it the best when he said.

This next song is a big FUCK YOU to all the politicians!!!

[TheFavoriteShot]

@fromdaghettowithlove And then he sold out.

[fromdaghettowithlove]

@TheFavoriteShot Hey, at least he was once in, which is more then what can be said for a lot of bands. I hate sellouts to, but give him a break, they were the biggest anti-band for awhile when no one was anti anything.

[TheFavoriteShot]

@fromdaghettowithlove There were other anti-bands, they just weren't known because they didn't sell out like Green Day.

[fromdaghettowithlove]

@TheFavoriteShot Course there were other anti bands there will always be other anti bands, but at least give them credit for standing up at a time when being anti was super looked down upon.

[Gtugcu]

Woohoo Aussies! Youre welcome here anytime mate!

[IVANANTZ]

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! AN EXCELLENT BAND IN SOUTHERN BRAZIL! WORTHWHILE! COMMENT - "Conforme-se Clip" StandUp

[lunerca]

I'd say there not responsable then, but you're right.

[lunerca]

I wouldn't say fuck pro life. When you mess up like that you should be responseble and just take it.

[Ponyishere]

@lunerca thats what makes it controversial... gotta have different viewpoints... but for the record, what about rape, incest, and cases where the mother will die too? Should still be responsible for their actions and just take it?

[weirdcast2]

Great beat. Even better lyrics. NoFX is the best!

[sschhuu]

@weirdcast2 "even better lyrics" says the now jobless youtuber

[weirdcast2]

@sschhuu I've never had a job... I'm 15

[tirouge0]

You should all read Noam Chomsky. You will understand other problems in your extreme capitalist country ;)

[vargulf19]

@tirouge0 I have read Chomsky, and watched a few documentaries he was in. Brilliant man, but you have to understand, rational thinkers are a minority in America. 47% of Americans believe that humans were created as they are about 10,000 years ago. Most Americans are just trying to get through the day, much less help other people. 2% of Americans own 90% of the wealth and people still want them to have MORE money. It will take America a long time before it's going to get better

[DarthGastonXD]

this is real punk...yes, that was 4 you green day!!!

[CommanderMeaty]

WHAT YEAR? WHAT ALBUM?

[Bennihanna23]

@CommanderMeaty i wanna say 2003 war on erroism but dont hold that to me

[theedestination]

<3

[SkunkiePunkie424]

By far one of the best songs.

My daughter & I love it

[gorerilla]

whats this about breath mints?

[vargulf19]

@gorerilla Gelatin, you know the stuff in gummy bears, breath mints, jell-o, marshmallows and stuff like that, comes from the hooves and organs of cattle, pigs, and horses. So every time you are eating a breath mint just remember there's horse hooves and organs in there.

[itshitormiss]

@vargulf19 a lot of it is synthetic these days.

[vargulf19]

@itshitormiss The basis of gelatin is still extracted from the collagen inside animal parts, there are synthetic substitutes, however gelatin is still made from the by-products of the meat and leather industry. I don't care, but I still think it would be nice for them to tell us this shit.

[MajesticObama]

I think we should just murder the govenment and let Fat Mike become president!

[joshiedark]

@MajesticObama Cool story bro

[TheAxe4Ever]

Really? I see people making recent comments on this stupid song and video STILL blaming Bush. Yeah, and the President and liberal congress we've got now is a real piece of work.

[twill37]

Our laws in Australia are more fucked than America's. Absoloute police country. At least American laws started out for the people and will stay that way.

[micahstacyproduction]

this song is so true

[caseye11is]

what a damn shame. great instrumentals but i disagree with the message.

[lalastx]

Bush saw this video 82 times!!

[jefferygwatkins]

Let's get real. Fat Mike is too wasted to understand Noam Chomsky.

[Free2Maim]

@jefferygwatkins Mike is actually rather intelligent...

[jefferygwatkins]

@Free2Maim I'm not denying Fat Mike isn't smart. But the dude isn't Greg Graffin. He can construct a sentence and write clever lyrics, but he's not a genius.

[Free2Maim]

@jefferygwatkins I'll give you that one, he isn't Greg Graffin. But what makes someone a genius? I wouldn't call anyone a genius. While Greg Graffin is smart, I still wouldn't call him a genius. For you to say that someone isn't very smart is very narrow minded. Its like saying "oh he's punk, but he isn't that punk" see what I'm saying?

[jefferygwatkins]

@Free2Maim Sure, I can understand what you're saying. I just don't think you got what I was saying. I said Mike is too wasted most of the time to read Chomsky. This isn't impugning his intelligence. It's simply an observation about his drug and alcohol consumption.

A high IQ categorically makes someone a genius. I didn't say Greg is a genius, was just making a comparison to an intelligent punk rocker. I don't think Fat Mike is stupid, nor did I ever say he wasn't smart, just too trashed

[Free2Maim]

@jefferygwatkins I understand what you're saying. And to be honest I dont care enough about it to keep talking about it with you. Not trying to be an asshole or anything, but I'd much rather toss back some brew and listen to some tunes. Cheers

[jefferygwatkins]

@Free2Maim There was an easy way to avoid the situation altogether: STFU.

[Free2Maim]

@jefferygwatkins I'm not avoiding the situation I just dont care enough about it to debate the issue with you via youtube. Its stupid and it doesn't affect me enough for me to reply. We both made our points so thats that. Have a drink man. Cheers.

[jefferygwatkins]

@Free2Maim Again, I didn't say you were avoiding anything. I said you didn't have to comment in the first place and thus there would be no need to have this discussion.

[Free2Maim]

@jefferygwatkins Excuse me for miss reading your comment, fuck. Later

[jefferygwatkins]

@Free2Maim Oh boy. Uh...the word is misreading.

[Free2Maim]

@jefferygwatkins Now you're a grammar nazi? Way to go bro...

[jefferygwatkins]

@Free2Maim You entered into this on your own accord.

[Barbossa1995]

best video ever!

[MohawkWarrior1]

ads on a nofx video? :O

[Anrkist713]

Why are they playing a commercial for ABC Family... Youtube fails at demographics.

[TheAmaraBel]

I wanna move north and be a Canadian ..... love that line of the song lol and yes we are nice but we can also be assholes just like everyone else, the stereo types are fucking hilarious lol

[Kleptocracy1]

I tried Canada---the folks were too fucking nice... Ugg. Gotta fight the fight here. This country is ours. Grow a pair and help take it over!!

[Ponyishere]

The comments are strangely not controversial at this point... FUCK Neocolonialism FUCK Two-party systems FUCK Lobbyists FUCK Militarism FUCK Fideism FUCK Materialism FUCK Nationalism FUCK Pro-life FUCK Classism  Food for thought.

[dfnozick]

@Ponyishere you forgot FUCK sarah palin.

[TheFavoriteShot]

@dfnozick What about Sarah Palin's Alaska? I like that show. They climb mountains.

[Bennihanna23]

@Ponyishere ..........and FUCK Fascism

[countof3everybodyOD]

@Ponyishere another tool whose parents didn't treat him right, or his teacher was mean to him...or some other bullshit to make him, or her so maladjusted. youre a joke. and if youre a joke on the internet, youre a real joke

[imasstupidashell]

wats the point of having the fukin ad

[theapr1]

.01

[stefanFEiv]

we will never say fuck vevo on nofx vids... hoooray

[CrypticCrayfish]

Dont you just love them nice Australians :D

[huwolesker]

NOFX means No F*cking Straightedge

[raminile]

@huwolesker no thats just a rumor, at one point 3/4 members were sXe in the early 80s. They really just ripped it from a band called Negative FX that put out one album and disbanding shortly after that. Mike said he thought it was BS so they came up with NOfx as a kind of protest against short lived bands.

[sonofswan]

fuck these fucking ads

[xxxsteve1]

Good song. Punk rock should be more like this.

[camodude51]

i love u blank tv

[idiot139]

[FullMetalBlackass]

So far, 82 people that watched this video appear to have voted for Bush.

[AndyMac1369]

I hate this pseudo intellectual bullshit Nofx! Go back to singing songs about fat chicks.
