Forty-Nine Songs for Obama

…and nary an “I Get on the TTC” in sight. [Torontonians breathe sigh of relief.] As reported on CBC.ca, our nation has spoken, and we’ve chosen 49 Can-con classics to “give” to the newly inaugurated President Barack Obama. While we think Stompin’ Tom Connors’s “Bud the Spud” (and a Tegan and Sara tune or two) should have made CBC Radio 2′s final list, we’re too busy Googling photos of Aretha Franklin’s bedazzled hat (and, uh, basking in the glory of America’s undeniably brighter future) to really be disappointed.

    I’m sure the chorus will go over well with the Obama-is-a-socialist types.

    I’m just happy they got some Rush and Hip on the list.

    Pretty good list, would have been far better if it included Hank Snow’s “I’m Movin’ On”. It was the biggest country song of 1950, topping the American chart for 18 weeks.
