Logan Aube from Aurora, Ontario, is presently near or at the top in the CBC's contest to replace the Hockey Night In Canada theme song. The cacaphonous entry (with professionally-done animation) on YouTube:
He is so far playing it commendably straight, as this quote from the National Post indicates:
My love for hockey is reflected quite well in this piece I feel. The intense percussion symbolizes the hard-hitting excitement of the sport, while the cat samples are used to demonstrate the feline qualities players must possess: speed, cunning, agility, and fearlessness. The other animal noises reflect the rich domestic history of the sport; I remember my grandfather who grew up on a farm used to freeze a rink in their field every year so that they could play the game, while the animals watched on.The happy child was used to symbolize the child-like wonder many Canadians feel every time they turn on this great game. The climax of the piece brings it all together, bringing the excitement to its peak and then finishing it off with a buzzer. Goal!
However, the CBC is being gamed. Aube, a regular (under the handle "Lowgain") on the Something Awful forums, put out a plea there and on Facebook for votes. It seems to be working.
