you know that guy took the writing of the song very seriously (even if he says otherwise). It sounds like some crap out of the 70s with a country/rock vibe of some Eagles tribute band. It is outdated and it isn't even a year old. Good work from the guy who considers himself a musician first and a talk show host second.

It aint the six minutes. Its what happens in those six minutes.

I think it was Hatchetman that nailed it in a thread earlier this year ... basically he said it sounded like a dreadful rip-off of the song 'Hand Jive'.

I hate you.

Also, 312 gets it right as well ... GCG is a dreadful chart but is comparatively so much better. I'd say the same is true for 'When the Cubs Go All the Way' or whatever that drek is called.

All in all, I'd just be happy to fire up the last chorus and solo outros from 'Sweet Home Chicago' and be done with it ... that segment is plenty long enough, it's peppy enough, it's recognizable enough.

Cubbies.

"Yeah, this is what you've came here for..."

Just in case you missed it. Enjoy.

I've said it before, but I always give Eddie Vedder's "Someday We'll Go All the Way" the Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf treatment the 3-4 times I've heard it live. PASS.

Love this song.

GCG is idiotic to play after the win. The lyrics are promising a future win that day, not celebrating a win that already happened.

I can't stand his feldco jingle. He sucks.

My biggest issue is it's way overproduced.

Why is there Storage Wars guy yelling "yuuuuuuuuuuuup" in the background?

I GOT MY BEER AND I GOT MY SNACKS /
AND I'VE ALWAYS GOT A REUBEN CUZ MY KID'S NAMED THAT /
NOW IT'S TIME FOR ALL THE STONERS TO LIGHT UP /
AND GET SO HIGH YOU'LL FORGET THAT GOD DON'T LIKE US!!! /

It's got a catchy tune, Spaulding. Perhaps a slight tweek on the lyrics may work?

Without listening, it can't be nearly as bad as the auditory abortion known as Go Cubs Go.

_________________

Its worse.

Does it not use the same music as Go Cubs Go? I've not heard it a lot, but that was my take away.

_________________

It's similar but I don't think its the exact music.

Oh, shit...it is.

Has anyone texted that to Speigel or brought it up to him on the air? I think that would make him have a fit and send him spiraling.

I like Pearl Jam and I like the Cubs, but hearing Vedder's Cubs' song just makes me want them to get swept in the NLDS.

He's a phony. He wore a Sox hat on SNL back in '93.

He was buddies with Jack McDowell (who was in a band) and would probably now say that was a nod to him.

Correct.

You would kind of think the same thing of Tributosaurus when you first hear the concept. Matt's part of the website dispels that. Tribute bands are serious business.

It is indeed, and it's an excellent jingle b/c everyone knows it whether they want to or not.
