BACK, babydolls

Recently I've discovered the dictionary-official word to describe the otherwise unwieldy power of smashing multiple words together in a Frankensteinian fashion -- Portmonteau!
I'd like to highlight one especial Portmonteau that my friend 'Gate Sine'* so cleverly and unintentionally created:
PANADA

It was like my mind was exploding with a hundred thousand illegal Mexican firecrackers! The possibilities were.....actually, rather endless-less. Not 'endless', as you might think. Maybe the creative juices just weren't flowing that day. I could actually only think of one thing - Panda + Canada
And as such, in the michaeleese (a-ha) spirit of infusing rhythmical jibberjabber into anyandeverything, I made up a stirring little song (to the tune of O Canada):

O, Panada!

"O, Pan-a-da!
My black, white, foreign bear!
You're an endangered species, but no one seems to care.

Ailuro-poda melano-o-o-leuca
,
Is your scientific classification.
You're so goddamn cute, when you eat bamboo
It brightens my day just like UV radiation!

I'm sure that you'll agree - let's update our toonie
O Panada, I want you on my currency (insteadofthepolarbear)!
O Panada, I want you on my currency!"

*I wish
