CBC ices Hockey Night theme

[Brian69]

I found this to be quite amusing:


Pipes and funk. What's wrong with this country?

From Tuesday's Globe and Mail

Claman's ascending, horn-heavy instrumental is so deeply embedded in our consciousness, so painfully evocative, that it is more moving and more memorable than our idiotic national anthem. Said anthem has existed in several different versions since 1880 and was only signed into law in 1980. I still don't know the words to O Canada. And I bet you don't either. Come on, sing the Ton histoire est une épopée bit. Or the Inuktitut version.

But I do know every word of The Star-Spangled Banner. Is that because America the Rapacious Monster has slipped me yet another roofie, or is it because Americans are fiercely protective of their various histories?

Hmmm. I wonder if someone chould pen lyrics to the HNIC, er, TSN's theme song and it could replace O Canada at special functions, sports events and morning school routines all over the nation. There's some potential there.

The new HNIC theme kicks ass. I thought that CBC would blow it, but they certainly made a good choice.

That's hilarious. Maybe there's no need for words, just mimic the orchestration by voice.
