The Weakerthans' "Tournament of Hearts."
I love this song, but then I love character sketches in song, something The Weakerthans do exquisitely well. And, I mean, come on...how can you not love a song that finds an excuse for using the lyric "Hurry! Hurry hard!" I heard on CBC Radio 3, in some interview, that the song was named to recognize The Constantines' album of the same name, as The Constantines used the name at John K. Samson's encouragement. That matters little to me, as I hear it as the curling tournament it is.
