In the most surreal news of the week, a metal song about orgy-having gay cowboys is being used to troll anti-vax lorry drivers in Canada.

Let us explain.

Thousands of truck drivers have been causing chaos in Canada since January, occupying cities and blocking trade routes in protest of Covid-19 restrictons and vaccine mandates.

However, counter-protestors have infiltrated the truckers’ chat on walkie-talkie app Zello to sing the sexually explicit song ‘Ram Ranch’ by Canadian singer Grant MacDonald.

“Like a breed of ram wanting to rut!”

‘Ram Ranch’, released in 2012, includes some truly eye-watering lyrics, including the immortal line: “18 naked cowboys in the showers at Ram Ranch! Big, hard, throbbing c***s wanting to be sucked!

Others include “18 more wild cowboys out in the yard!” and “like a breed of ram wanting to rut!”

“I’m just elated, totally elated that my song could be used to stand up for science,” singer Grant MacDonald recently told Rolling Stone in response to the news.

MacDonald also told the publication that he recorded the song after his LGBTQ-themed country music tunes were rejected by radio bosses.

“It was to get back at the homophobia of Nashville,” he said. “That was the whole foundation.”
