I don't think I've featured this one yet.
First off, some context: Buffalo, New York had one thing going for it in the mid-1980s, a charismatic, relatively conservative mayor named Jimmy Griffin. Not much else, though: the Sabres were in a rut, the Bills were on the brink of collapse, Bethlehem Steel, a major manufacturer, had shut its doors a few years prior, and people were, in general, fleeing in droves. So, how do the PR gurus in Buffalo decide to turn things around? A PR campaign to show the world how peppy Buffalo is!
There was actually a full-length single released with the full version of this song, but until I saw the video of the commercial, and our lead artist's, um, stride, I could not appreciate this piece of local memorabilia for its greatness. Ladies and gentlemen of the Briefing Room, I submit for your consideration into the Jukebox from Hell…Alden Schutte wth "Talking Proud!"
