Passing For Normal

Today in due South/C6D Big Bang chat I mentioned that I had a copy of "O Canada" in Inuktitut, and there were several requests for the MP3 and the words.

Once upon a time, I got it into my fannish head to collect as many recorded versions of "O Canada" as I could find. Some lovely people (who may wish to remain nameless, so I'm not naming them at this juncture, but they are entirely made of awesome) were incredibly helpful, and I ended up with a gloriously, ridiculously wonderful 58 recordings. With blithe and opinionated subjectivity, I sorted these into Winners (16), Runners Up (4), and Also Rans (you can do the math, should you care).

You can download or listen to "O Kanata" here at Box.com. If you want more of a good thing, you can download a zip file of the "Winners" here. If even that's not enough, the runners up are here. I'm sparing you the rest; you're not missing anything exciting, honest.

( The words in all three official languages are behind the cut )

I think there should be a singalong at the next Bitchin' Party. :-D
