Default Re: GL Playoffs : Championship

Too bad, really. I guess everybody who voted for May I as the worst song never heard the Skip Weshner party tape, where Skip's daughter (who sounds about 5) keeps begging Gord to sing it. And Gord says something like, "The kids all love that song". I actually think it was a clever little song that kids would relate to, and that's why he wrote it. No, it's not brilliant songwriting, but an example of putting together a lot of (children's) nonsense phrases and making a song out of it. Later he wrote The Pony Man, which became his song for children, but May I was the first one. At least that's my take on it.

I won't comment on Canary Yellow Canoe, but you know how I voted.
