Portland has become quite the popular place over the last few years. The influx of new residents has pretty much ruined what old locals have considered to be all that’s in the city, with all the condos going up and old haunts going down essentially serving as proof of that.
But no matter how much Portlandia may have skewed (somehow accurately and inaccurately all at once) their depiction of Portland, The Toads have written their own little ditty about this rainy city. It reigns incredibly true.
With lyrics touching on how open Portland is with nearly every type of social and individual freedom, "Portland, Or" shows how much The Toads love their town in a catchy, pop-punky way. If anything, it should be the city’s anthem.
Give it a listen below and see how much of it sounds "so typically Portland."
