Greenberg: Steve Goodman and the (debatable) musical legacy of 'Go Cubs Go'

CHICAGO -- Hey Chicago, whaddya say? You want to talk about "Go Cubs Go" today?

Like all things Cubs, there is a tug of war between traditionalists and modernists when it comes to the team's unofficially official victory song, "Go Cubs Go."

Some find it mawkish and old-fashioned, a vestige of the team's corny past. They hate watching video of Cubs fans holding up W flags as the song plays uninterrupted on TV after wins. Others, like myself, find it endearing and pure, a throwback to the days before irony. Some things don't have to be over-analyzed.
