The Tragically Hip (and City and Colour and more) have a new version of “Ahead by a Century”

The World Cup starts in June, and as customary, soccer-themed songs are starting to pop up in countries all over the world. This is an example.

The Tragically Hip have teamed up with City and Colour, Ruby Waters, Boi-1da, and Canada Soccter to reimagine The Hip’s “Ahead by a Century,” from their 1996 album, Trouble at the Henhouse.

If Oasis can do this, then maybe they can also open the Straits of Hormuz
