Tone-deaf tourism board unveils cringe-worthy anthem

4/30/2012

We really hope Chicago's tourism board didn't pay good money for this "anthem," a collaboration between Umphrey's McGee and, you guessed it, the band Chicago that's being hailed as one of the worst things to happen to ears since Rebecca Black's "Friday." Of course, it could be a genius move by the tourist board -- what goes more viral than an epic fail? But we don't think it's a cynical grab for a viral meme, just a flawless auditory belly flop with lyrics as puzzling as they are corny. (Chicago: Where the champions aren't yours because they're mine!) But don't let that deter you from visiting the windy city! Awesome-wise, it's basically the opposite of this song.

Is this anthem terrible or terribly catchy?
