I am deeply impressed with this song. I love the double meanings. I guess curling must be much more in our (Canadian) culture than elsewhere because I just can't imagine not knowing what the phrase "hurry, hurry hard" means! It does make them brave to be singing a song that only a certain culture will really understand.

One line that hasn't been commented on: "Doodle circles within circles all alone"

Above the obvious meaning that he's doodling, I think the circles within circles is also a reference to the circles on the rink.
