WGN Radio, the baseball home of the Chicago Cubs for longer than I've been alive, has produced a short video featuring fans and WGN Radio personalities lip-syncing the Go, Cubs, Go theme song. Here it is if you are interested in seeing it:
NOTE: The song, "Go, Cubs, Go", was written by Chicago native (and Cubs fan) Steve Goodman, who in his early 20s was diagnosed with leukemia and to which he succumbed 15 years later. Goodman wrote and performed many humorous songs about Chicago, including three about the Chicago Cubs: "A Dying Cub Fan's Last Request", "When the Cubs Go Marching In" and "Go, Cubs, Go" (which has frequently been played on Cubs' broadcasts and at Wrigley Field after Cubs wins.) His 2 most famous compositions are "City of New Orleans" and "You Never Even Call Me By My Name" (with John Prine.) Check this Wikipedia entry for more info on one of Chicago's hometown heroes.
