So the Collegium is doing (the original version of) Rule Britannia for its Spring concert. For the above reason, the first line of the chorus has morphed in my head into
Rulzorz, Britannia! Britannia pwns t d00dz!
...which logically led to:
Britons nvr nvr nvr will b foodz!
(This led me to imagine some sort of Cthulhu-like monster/mummers' dragon/giant kitten chowing down on vast crowds, but being foiled from eating Englishmen. Though come to think about it, if the monster were taken as yet another allegorical figure (hey, this is 18th c. drama, why not!), that's pretty much what the song is about anyway.)
