Is there anything in the world better than Anne Murray?  No.  No there most certainly is not!

    I am Canadian and Anne Murray doesn’t impress me–now Burton Cummings would be another matter.

  2. A fine scotch says:

    And from the Oscar-winning song:

    “With that bitch Ann Murray, too

    And their hockey hullabaloo

    Blame Canada

    Blame Can-A-DA!”

    Thanks, Jeff.  I’m going to have that in my head all day now.  (But, it’s better than that obnoxious DirecTV musical number I had in my head all day yesterday…)

    Watching a Blue Jays game with the roof open after Anne Murray has sung O Canada.

  4. Sean M. says:

    Sorry, man, but I’m from the Bryan Adams generation.  You know, “The Summer of ‘69.”

    (Okay, so I wasn’t even alive back then, but he was only ten years old in 1969, and at least I’m an American, damnit!)

  5. FreakyBoy says:

    Jeff,

    I thought Canadian songmeister Bruce COCKburn would be your first choice, on a purely “cultural” level, of course.

  6. Diana says:

    I’m just going to sit back and watch you all make fools of yourselves.

  7. Shawn says:

    Good start.  Now just follow it up with “…and doesn’t Gary Bettman suck?” and they’ll be eating out of the palm of your hand.

    SW: He is “trying” to come up with a new CBA, don’cha know.

  8. Jeff Goldstein says:

    GOD I LOVE REINDEER!

  9. Scott P says:

    I bought an IPod shuffle.

    Only song on it?- Snowbird.

    Over and over and over, just the way I like it.

  10. zombyboy says:

    Hey, what about that Gordon Lightfoot fella, eh?

  11. SeanH says:

    Damn, Jeff.  That one didn’t seem to throw them much over at Kate’s.  They came right back at you with Gordon Lightfoot.

  12. Robert says:

    Anne Murray is kind of hot.

  13. maggiekatzen says:

    sure, if by kinda you mean, “not at all”

  14. Salt Lick says:

    I heard that kid with the bloody chainsaw had all her CDs.

  15. Dave S. says:

    Come on now.  Doesn’t Celine make you sport wood?

  16. zombyboy says:

    Maybe a wooden bat with which to konk her shins…

  17. maggiekatzen says:

    AMEN!!!!

    turing word: mean, yeah, that’s me!

  18. ss says:

    I always request Snowbird.

  19. Oorgo says:

    Snowbird would make a fine background song to suicide by hanging.

    Most notable cheese by Anne Murray?  “Anne Murray sings jazz standards” or something of the sort..

    Just imagine her singing a soulful “You made me love you”

  20. Ed Minchau says:

    Sean M:  Ohhh, you are under the impression that song is about nineteen 69.  LOL
