Bienvenue à Winnipeg <a href="https://twitter.com/MTLAlouettes">@MTLAlouettes</a>! Nous vous avons préparé une chanson. <a href="http://t.co/5S8BJrgPPH">pic.twitter.com/5S8BJrgPPH</a> —@Wpg_BlueBombers

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers are welcoming the Montreal Alouettes to town with a song … sort of.

The team changed its Twitter name to Les Bleus Bombers and posted a video of players singing the French Canadian song, Alouette.

​The catchy traditional children's song is actually a violent ditty about plucking the feathers from a lark, in retribution for being woken up by its song.

The teams square off in Winnipeg at 6 p.m. CT Friday. Both teams have 1-1 win-loss records.
