Yep, still MMAW for me ... lazy rhymes and repetitive.
Question: is the fallen hummingbird the same hummingbird who was cleared for maintenance in Wild Mountain Honey?

Agreed. I've actually never really liked the song much. The other three left are really strong, though.

I kinda worry about the forum slowly fading away, but hopefully we can keep the topics flowing.
We can just do a weakest link for each show in the archive :lol:

There is a scene in LTR where Gord talks about settling down in front of a fire at night with his pen, paper and all the tools of his craft in place. He is talking about his "music at work". Sure, there are some simplistic rhymes (work/jerk) but there are also some great lines like "In a sink full of ganges, I remain". This captures the overall sentiment of the song, which is the struggle to create/write something worthwhile. Being immersed in the waters of one of the most polluted rivers in the world, the Ganges, is him wallowing in the filth of unworthy work. He lays out his rules for song writing ("Avoid trends and cliches, Don't try to be up to date") and shows the effort it takes ("Night so long it hurts") to hang in there for that moment of inspiration ("When the sunlight gets the olive oil").
I'm not ready to let go of My Music at Work just yet.

Tiger the Lion wins for me.
I also can never vote for Toronto #4.
