| Reminds me of the song "Peein' in the snow" by Newfoundland's leading band Buddy Wasisname and the Other Fellers.
In another song they take up Clarence's point. The singer has been strong-armed by his modernized wife ("who's got the upper hand") into building an outdoor BBQ, which means digging up scarce fertile land in a place like Newf. He goes on:
So here I sit barbecuin',
Wondering what the hell I'm doing.
We've moved up in society of course.
But I can't help think we've strayed,
It's more primitive in ways,
Now we cook outside and crap indoors.
"I wish I was as cocksure of anything as Tom Macaulay is of everything."
