For some really good sports music, you need to watch Neil Peart of Rush doing the [NHL Hockey Night in Canada song](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8h98NxmGQo)

**THIS**.

It is not possible for me to express my deep hatred of this song, HW Jr, or even the thought of this song being played for every MNF game.

Just reading \*\*lieu’s \*\*post made me throw up a bit in my mouth. :eek:

I find it highly annoying. I have a friend with it as a ring tone, and me and the other guys all start over-flexing and grunting whenever it goes off. He changed it 🙂

I don’t understand why such a manly (insert ironic smiley) sport has such a girly theme song, either.
