Maybe this has been discussed but if not...this is the best song about Chicago men ever. Even if you dont like hip hop just listen to the lyrics...hysterical. I bet your singing this at work all day.

Lake Shore Drive Aliotta Haynes Jeremiah

Well there ain't no road just like it, anywhere I've found,
Runnin' south on Lake Shore Drive, headin' into town.
Just slippin' on by on L.S.D., Friday night trouble bound

I'm pretty sure I've posted this before, but let's sing about Wicker Park gentrification again.

"Here Comes The Neighborhood" by The Lawrence Arms wrote:

i work on belmont, but i live in wicker park
all my friends are bartenders in all the coolest bars
my girlfriend's in the coolest band that you've ever seen
they play the empty bottle every week.

I've got everything i need.
my loft, my motorcycle, my hip restaurant down the street
and my neighbors are all artists or hot girls over 18
who needs community when you live right in your scene?

from jinx to betty's blue star, everybody knows my name
from north ave down to augusta, everybody's all the same
it's a playground fueled by beer, no chicagoans live here.
it's a playground fueled by beer, no chicagoans live here.

it's geography
bound tightly
by big city dreams.

and when the property value's raised
you'll be on your merry ways
like the poor outclassed families before you you've already paved

From ashland to western, chicago to north ave
congratulations kids, your shallow model city is sinking, sinking down.

you've become
what you swore
that you'd never be.

can't believe you guys are all talking classic rock when the video that prompted this thread is way more appropriate and also probably the most brilliant thing i've ever heard/seen. that shit is going to be stuck in my head for days.

re: stink, definitely agreed on the lawrence arms tip. maybe not necessarily that song, but at a certain point it's just like "pick one." they were playing "ghost stories" at pick me up the last time i was in there and i hadn't heard that record in years... holds up a lot better than i guess you would expect.

I was just about to express the same sentiment.
That song and video is incredible.

So I'm drivin down Western Ave.
I think I better stop at Zayres,
gotta splittin frickin headache,
so I popped a couple Bayers.

that song wins, i got my friends all hooked on it and it sparked a really elaborate nostalgia trip re: Venture. i can't believe the song is not a "bigger deal" (i.e. only hearing about it for the first time here) but i guess that might be due to the dude's other tracks being kinda douche-y.

Venture sucked (HIP) and Zayre sucked (Belmont and Cumberland?)
