A Porno-Metal Song About Gay Cowboys Is Disrupting the Anti-Vaxx Trucker Convoy

Scoop: Canadian leftists are using “Ram Ranch,” a 2012 porno metal song about 18 gay cowboys, to troll anti-vaxx truckers and disrupt convoy communications on Zello and Telegram. They call themselves the #ramranchresistance.

A Porno-Metal Song About Gay Cowboys Is Disrupting the Anti-Vaxx Trucker Convoy
Porno-metal song 'Ram Ranch' by Canadian artist Grant MacDonald is the unofficial anthem of leftists disrupting the far-right protest.

In a recent chat on a Zello channel titled “Windsor Convoy 2,” a group of people supporting the trucker convoy — a Canadian protest against vaccine mandates and lockdowns — started an impromptu singalong for the national anthem, “O! Canada.” “Our home and native land,” one person sang off-key, followed by another, crooning just as poorly, “True patriot love with all our sons command [sic].”

Then comes a loud guitar riff. “EIGHTEEN NAKED COWBOYS IN THE SHOWERS AT RAM RANCH,” a voice screams. They’re removed from the chat before they can continue to the next lyrics: “BIG, HARD, THROBBING COCKS WANTING TO BE SUCKED.”

Welcome to the #RamRanchResistance, a loosely organized counter-movement to the trucker convoy. The lyrics played in the chat are from “Ram Ranch,” a 2012 porno-metal classic by Grant MacDonald that ascended to meme status thanks to lyrics like, “Eighteen naked cowboys wanting to be fucked/Cowboys in the showers at Ram Ranch/On their knees wanting to suck cowboy cocks/Ram Ranch really rocks.”

The term “Ram Ranch Resistance” initially stemmed from Canadian counterprotesters entering chats organized by convoy supporters on Zello, a push-to-talk walkie-talkie app somewhat similar to the voice chatting platform Clubhouse. According to Katarina, a PhD student at a university in Ottawa and one of the leaders of the #RamRanchResistance (she requested that her last name be withheld to avoid being doxxed), it all started with counterprotesters going into the truckers’ Zello channels to get information about their organizing.

not only because it is being used, but because when we drove West a few years ago, my middle son annoyed his older brother by singing and playing that song each and every day.

Ah, brothers.

They'd probably try to cover the kids ears and crash! LOL

We need a more comprehensive travel guide next time.

I heard a lot of the truckers brought children, but perhaps they're doing some sort of "let's go Brandon" laundering of the lyrics for their little ones. They're extremely repetitive, which should help, and "trucks" could be subbed in nicely for three happily similar terms.

It's funny that those 'truckers' are likely homophobic, but this isn't actually pride parade material it seems biased itself.
