'Go Cubs Go' takes on deeper meaning

Here's a not-completely-anticipated bonus to the Cubs winning the 2016 World Series:

We get to hear a Steve Goodman song on a regular basis.

OK, "Go Cubs Go" was not Goodman's best work. But it is a catchy, upbeat little ditty, and it has become the Cubs' victory anthem at Wrigley Field.

If you watched "Saturday Night Live" this weekend, you saw the song being sung by the Cubs' Anthony Rizzo, Dexter Fowler and David Ross, along with super fan/comic Bill Murray and a group of backup singers. Some 32 years after the song was written, it had climbed to the top of the American cultural charts.
