Editing Chicago Cubs (section)

===Music===
During the summer of 1969, a Chicago studio group produced a single record called "Hey Hey! Holy Mackerel! (The Cubs Song)" whose title and lyrics incorporated the catch-phrases of the respective TV and radio announcers for the Cubs, [[Jack Brickhouse]] and [[Vince Lloyd]]. Several members of the Cubs recorded an album called ''Cub Power'' which contained a cover of the song. The song received a good deal of local airplay that summer, associating it very strongly with that season. It was played much less frequently thereafter, although it remained an unofficial Cubs theme song for some years after.

For many years, Cubs radio broadcasts started with "It's a Beautiful Day for a Ball Game" by the Harry Simeone Chorale. In 1979, Roger Bain released a 45 rpm record of his song "Thanks Mr. Banks", to honor "Mr. Cub" Ernie Banks.<ref>{{cite web |title=Roger Bain Demo.com |url=http://rogerbaindemo.com/ |url-status=usurped |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090529040804/http://rogerbaindemo.com/ |archive-date=May 29, 2009 |access-date=August 31, 2009 |publisher=rogerbaindemo.com}}</ref>

The song "[[Go, Cubs, Go|Go, Cubs, Go!]]" by [[Steve Goodman]] was recorded early in the 1984 season, and was heard frequently during that season. Goodman died in September of that year, four days before the Cubs clinched the National League Eastern Division title, their first title in 39 years. Since 1984, the song started being played from time to time at [[Wrigley Field]]; since 2007, the song has been played over the loudspeakers following each Cubs home victory.

[[The Mountain Goats]] recorded a song entitled "Cubs in Five" on its 1995 EP [[Nine Black Poppies]] which refers to the seeming impossibility of the Cubs winning a World Series in both its title and chorus.

In 2007, [[Pearl Jam]] frontman [[Eddie Vedder]] composed a song dedicated to the team called "[[All the Way (Eddie Vedder song)|All the Way]]." Vedder, a Chicago native, and lifelong Cubs fan, composed the song at the request of Ernie Banks.
