Best. Reality TV Show. Ever.<\/p>\n

Not that it’s a very high bar. But since the masses have proven we’re ready to get riled up by any possible televised competition, from dancing to worm-eating, why not inject a little home-town pride into the contest?<\/p>\n

La S\u00e9rie Montr\u00e9al Qu\u00e9bec<\/a><\/em> pits Montrealers against our most despised rivals, Quebec city, in our proudest battle-ring: the hockey rink.<\/em> Guy Carbonneau coaches the Montreal team, which consists of guys and gals, young and old, all with solid hockey-playing credentials.<\/p>\n

To fuel the fire, each team composed a battle-song, a local artists’ hymn to their city.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, Eric Lapointe’s ode to Montreal sounds like someone reading aloud from the tour guide to a kinda generic rock-and-roll track. I guess I still got a little flutter of home-town pride when I saw the ad for La S\u00e9rie<\/em> that played in Montreal (above).<\/p>\n

There’s just one problem: Loco Locass’ hymn for Qu\u00e9bec City beats our song hands down. The hip hop trio has composed a poetic tribute to their city’s long history and long winters; from First Nations to Carnival, from the riverbank to the plaine<\/em> through the topographic ups and downs <\/em>that are better traveled by stairs than by cars. <\/em>(The lyrics are available on the youtube page<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Its so good I had to embed the full-length version below – I even head a rumor that mayor R\u00e9gis Lebaume wants to adopt it as the city’s official anthem.<\/p>\n

Sigh. At least we can take comfort in their other hockey song<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
