This video encompass ALL the fun gestures Newfoundlanders have used in Screechin ceremonies over the years. This tradition is carried out by Newfoundlanders in any order and gestures they choose to certify our new Honorary Newfoundlanders. I have attached The Screech-In Song lyrics below for you all to enjoy. Proud to be from Newfoundland and Labrador🤠

The Screech-In Song

This a ceremony is a ready to roll.
Got the bread and bolona and codfish folks
Southwester gear, a jug a newfie screech
B'God we got another a Newfie Wannabe

Gather all around & witness the scene
A new outsider wants to be like we
Set him up in the duds, its a go right boys
Now he sweats & takes a test before our very eyes

He can't do R thing with nar thing to do it with
Hold up the codfish that he's gonna kiss
After that smooch, give he the shot of rum
He had the gall & chugged it all, as we cheered him on

Now for the hardbread & the newfie steak
If he gets it down, another shot he'll take
Now do you feel like a Newfoundlander too
No doubt me ole trout indeed I do
SOLO
Now I'se a Newfoundlander he must insist
I'se a Newfoundlander, I is I is
Once he dunk a foot down into the salty bath
Crown him with the oar boys he got a pass

Please raise your glass in a toast from us all
And long may your big jib draw
Now that its official and we do welcome he
We celebrate the screech-in of a Newfie Wannabe
We celebrate the screech-in of a Newfie Wannabe
SOLO to end
