As I don't want to be accused of being a cheater by Plankton again, I'll tell you: it's an English song.
Why did I say no when asked if it was European? Because England has always considered itself not to be European. At the time this was written, it certainly was not, and even though they "joined" the European Union they did so with bad grace, for political reasons only and never considered themselves European. They used to refer to Europe in the 70s as "The Common Market" and "The Continent". They even kept their own money, when everyone else in the EU (or most of them) took the Euro for their currency. You Americans and Canadians may not realise this, but English people do not, and never will, consider themselves to be European. Ask any person born and bred in England if they're European and they'll frown and say "Fawk oof mate, we're English, innwe?"

tl;dr the song is English.

England is ****ing European, you nationalist mick! ****ing jump off a bridge.

**** off yourself you ****. Go talk to Monkey, and ask him if he's European. You ****ing Americans are all the same. Do you consider Mexicans to be American? Suck my dick.

It's like saying that Texas isn't American.

Also, why the **** didnt one of you arsewipes ask if it was British? That's the usual sequence: is it American? No. Is it British? But no, you have to go European. Well it ****ing isn't. The British Empire was never European, and to say it was just shows how ****ing ignorant you thick ****e Americans are.

No it ****ing isn't. It's a separate Island, with a history of isolationism and nationalist pride. You go to England, call anyone there European, and see how you get on.

Texas has dumb nationalism and a history of bitch separatism too. Still American.

Island? Hawaii.
