CBC puke themes

Five opening songs for Hockey Night in Canada was meant to be a ratings booster for the old lady of Canadian media. But like all things selected by committee the five great songs that were filtered by a committee of experts falls way short.

Hosted by the urbane banal and exceedingly boring boy progeny George Strombopolous, he guided the hapless hockey fans through several mind numbing minutes of horror. The final two themes hold to the tradition of abysmal. They are both terrible.

I'm not very impressed with them either.

Perhaps I've been listening to the original theme for too many years but both finalists seem like pale imitations of the original.

At least one of them sounds a little Celtic. If I had to choose, that's the one I'd choose.
