For those of you who don’t live here, or who aren’t aware, Canada’s nationalized broadcaster, the CBC, is holding a contest to find new theme music for our major hockey broadcast, Hockey Night in Canada. The entries are all online for people to listen to, comment, and rate them.
This is an entry to the contest. Listen to the pre-amble for a bit (it’s important for comedic effect) and then jump to 2:20 for the actual song. I couldn’t stop laughing.
Looks like it was submitted after the August 31st deadline though, so HNIC may not be able to use it.
