THE CLEANING LADYS have been playing music to laugh by for three decades. These guys have always been on the leading edge of political incorrectness and music video production with songs like Give Up On My Girl, TRASH TV, CREATURES FROM OUTER SPACE AND SHE WON’T FRENCH KISS, which have won a slew of international awards. I’ve heard front man John Anderson called a creative genius--and that was behind his back. THE BAND’S pop lyrics are catchy, amusing and smart, and though their primary effect is to entertain they also offer insight into our too-often dysfunctional culture. John and band mates Art Collins and Scott Brewer started out together all those years ago at Northwestern University and now, more than 1,100 original songs later, far removed from the back of the classroom, are bigger smart asses than ever.

No political, cultural or civic institution has seemingly escaped the satirical brush of The Cleaning Ladys, and so why should Our Chicago Cubs be any different?

“When the Cubs win the World Series—Ryne Sandberg will be dead.

When the Cubs win the World Series—humans will have two heads.”

Typically we end our monthly live Revues with a prayer. For our August Revue,we altered things a bit and asked The Cleaning Ladys to do a gospel rendition of that classic futuristic song, "When The Cubs Win The World Series." Well, you never know what you're going to get when you're live and unrehearsed. So we shouldn't have been surprised when gospel turned punk and an ironing board went flying. Check out the video and see for yourself.
