Oshkosh Fly-In: The very name implies the pinnacle of aviation, the perfect assembly of innovation, history, excitement, the unknown and the could-be...

...and then you hear theme music so bad you wish there was a running propeller nearby for you to jump into, just to MAKE IT STOP.

Believe it or not, the song in the MP3 file below was the actual theme song for the 1988 Oshkosh Fly-In! I don't know if they were going after the vital Lawrence Welk audition rejectee demographic, or if someone lost a really big bet with the Osmond family... but it's hard to imagine there are enough Leinenkugel's in all of Wisconsin to have made this seem like a good idea. Even in the Polka Belt in 1988.

This was clipped from the end of the Uncontrolled Airspace podcast (#145). Great show, fun to listen to... give it a shot.

Is this the worst promotional song ever, or just the worst SONG ever? (MP3 file, 244 KB, 41 seconds... because 60 seconds of this is more than any human could possibly endure)
