AND I DON'T WANNA SWIM!!!

Alright, a long long long long time ago, well before Katrina, the oracle Gord Downie predicted the underwaterness of New Orleans in the Tragically Hip song "New Orleans is Singing".

Further, in an amazing rant, an underground version started circulating that has become almost as popular as the original. This is that version, and this is the most popular Hip song by a long shot.

Note the rock-ness of it. This song is so much more raw than anything produced after 1992, where they refined their sound and had the ability to bounce between a rock and a more zen, smooth sound.
