I also didn’t known it was a song, so the song never entered the Canadian consciousness either. The joke has existed for a while in various forms,, I just picked it up from that. Sometimes in a more faithful reproduction of the “I can’t drive either” joke, but often just riffing on super religious people not even attempting to save themselves or others in emergency situations, or especially in situations that are overblown into emergencies. I sometimes see it used as an ironic replacement for “YOLO” when you know you’re about to do something dumb and you don’t care. Shipping buggy code to prod, riding down a big hill in a shopping cart, buying a meme stock, etc.
