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.

If they were going to commission some 1980s disco, couldn't they have found someone to do it properly? The singer from Living in a Box appears to be free (new album due in 2006!), although the theme tune would probably have gone something like this:

We're living in Stoke
We're living in Stoke
We're living in Stoke
We're living in Stoke-on-Trent
