Moving forward together

[webofevil]

How would you feel if your city council decided to commission its own theme tune? Would you be glad it had decided to forge a distinctive identity for itself, the town and its residents, albeit at taxpayers’ expense? Or would your immediate response involve a great deal of swearing?

How about, to pluck an example at random, if the city council in question was Stoke-on-Trent and its specially written theme song sounded like this?

You will find, perhaps by the expedient of fast-forwarding, that things really pick up after the 2:08 mark.

What, exactly has that song got to do with Stoke-on-Trent? Off there in about an hour, and judging by that music I expect to see lots of people with Les McQueen-style mullets wandering around that cit-eh.

Still, you've got to go some to beat the early 80s alien-themed classic Energy in Northampton. Must be heard to be believed.

Heh heh. There are boxes and boxes of that single mouldering in a council office in Milton Keynes.
