Something to Sing About

Something to Sing About

"Something to Sing About" is a patriotic song written by folk singer Oscar Brand that sings the praises of the many different regions of Canada. It was used as a theme for CBC, CTV and Expo 67, and there was once a movement for it to replace O Canada as the Canadian national anthem.

Brand has for some years used an Americanized lyric of "Something to Sing About" as a theme song for his Folk Song Festival radio program in New York City.
