We stand on guard for thee
March 2, 2010emily 2 Comments »Ever since the Olympics ended, I’ve had the Canadian national anthem going through my head. As national anthems go, it’s really not that bad; it’s quite catchy, actually. Good thing, too, since I’ve been brushing my teeth in time to it, walking the dog in time to it, falling asleep and waking up to it. I’ve tried to push it out of my head with other music: Rodrigo y Gabriela, Joshua Radin, U2, Diana Krall, and even the Shaker Melody from Appalachian Spring. All to no avail: Canada, it seems, has sticking power.

Aw.
We didn’t play it that much! The same thing happened to me once after following my team in the Stanley Cup finals. So that meant I would have the anthem in my head, followed by a roar from the imaginary crowd, followed by the Hockey Night in Canada them song.

(Or THEME song, if you will.)
