The Lyrics
Kansas City is digging out from its first real snowfall of the year. It would be pretty to look at if it were not so dangerous, and expensive.
Ignoring their squeals
I club baby seals
The furs are sold to feed my village
It's fifty below
Crops will not grow
Ice will not yield to the tillage
No, no, no, no, no
Don't cry
You'll freeze your eye
We're in an Arctic Wasteland
Harpoon in my hand
Whaling, has it been banned?
Let's build a fire
Cook us up some blubber
If global warming's here
Then we'll all give a cheer
We'll skin us a bear
And feast on its bone marrow
Arctic Wasteland!
Frozen Arctic Wasteland!
Arctic Wasteland
Arctic Wasteland
Nothing's wasted!
I club baby seals
The furs are sold to feed my village
It's fifty below
Crops will not grow
Ice will not yield to the tillage
No, no, no, no, no
Don't cry
You'll freeze your eye
We're in an Arctic Wasteland
Harpoon in my hand
Whaling, has it been banned?
Let's build a fire
Cook us up some blubber
If global warming's here
Then we'll all give a cheer
We'll skin us a bear
And feast on its bone marrow
Arctic Wasteland!
Frozen Arctic Wasteland!
Arctic Wasteland
Arctic Wasteland
Nothing's wasted!
Have you ever noticed that the TV "Survivor" shows always take place in tropical jungles? Why not "Survivor Greenland" or "Survivor Baffin Island"? I would imagine it's not just because the contestants wouldn't be able to run around in bikinis.

It's so boldly politically incorrect, showing the dichotomy between real life survival and the elites who govern and forbid behaviors. 555
555 degrees below zero makes you do some crazy things, but it always comes with laughs!
Kansas "cold as a witch's" City.
Has anyone every measured the surface temperature of a Wiccan mammary appendage to determine a median figure? How many objects does it take to make a sh*t load? What is the volume of a p*ss pot full? A c*nt hair is how many angstroms in diameter?
Cool! Ditto Barry--it's got my (baby) seal of approval...
Who says this is UN-PC? Many of our ancestors lived like and some still do today. My Native American ancestors made use of the animals AND crops for substinence, shelter and all life's needs. I have an idea! Let's have a Survivor Baffin Island and let's see some "Polar Bear Club" contestants run around nude and eke it out. Good parody.
Patrick - This is COLD (in the best sense of the word)! A baby seal walks into a bar. The bartender asks "What would you like to drink?". The baby seal says "Anything but a Canadian Club!". Fine job as usual. ;D
