Jody and I binged the entire series of Letterkenny early this year. We loved it. I found myself wanting to shout quotes at random passersby, in virtually every situation. It's infectious in a wonderful way, and connected with me in a way I didn't expect. It's delightfully trashy and just vulgar enough.
I wrote this song for February Album Writing Month. Here's the final version.

lyrics
So, you’re plucking’ the guitar the other day…
How are ya now? Good ’n you?
Not so bad. Now that that’s through…
Pitter patter, let’s get at ‘er
We can start to sing this song.
Have you heard? Can confirm
Each line’s a new ear-fuckin’-worm
We’re pert-near there…
Get this rig a rollin’ on.
All the time I’m quotin’ lines from Letterkenny
Wishin’ I could have a Puppers, or some good ol’ Gus N Bru
While I’m in traffic, or at work,
Or stuck in line behind some jerk,
Oh, Letterkenny, that’s what I appreciates abouts you.
Now to be fair, don’t get the scoots
Pump the brakes there big shoots
Ain’t no reason to get excited,
Just give yer balls a tug
That’s a Texas-size 10-4
Figure it out, and then what’s more
I just wish you weren’t so
Fuckin’ Awkward bud.
All the time I’m quotin’ lines from Letterkenny
Wishin’ I could have a Puppers, or some good ol’ Gus N Bru
While I’m in traffic, or at work,
Or stuck in line behind some jerk,
Oh, Letterkenny, that’s what I appreciates abouts you.
Let’s Take about 5-10% off, over there.
Have a donnybrook with up country degens
Have a dart, hoover schneef, make sure to add allegedly
Bag some snipes and get some toe-curling in. (Ferda!)
All the time I’m quotin’ lines from Letterkenny
Wishin’ I could have a Puppers, or some good ol’ Gus N Bru
While I’m in traffic, or at work,
Or stuck in line behind some jerk,
Oh, Letterkenny, that’s what I appreciates abouts you. (likely)
In my mind I’m spendin' time Letterkenny
Sippin’ Puppers, slamming good ol’ Gus N Bru
Not in traffic, not at work,
Or stuck in line behind some jerk,
Oh, Letterkenny, that’s what I appreciates abouts you.
