Marion Iowa based mattress company Lebeda Mattress Factory is suing the Chicago Cubs and WGN 720 AM after it was found that they plagiarized an old jingle of theirs. Back in the 70's, the Chicago Cubs had a secret deal with Lebeda Mattress Factory and it was during this time that Lebeda created a jingle called Hey Shoppers Hey, however this was scrapped but in the 1980's the cubs owner took the master files of the completed recording of the abandoned jingle, wiped everything except the instruments, sent it to WGN 720 who then hired out Steve Goodman to record the song in the style of folk rock and based off the scrapped Lebeda jingle under the name Go Cubs Go. It was not until recently that the similarities were brought to Lebeda's attention as while the owner was cleaning, he found a spare copy of the aborted Lebeda jingle, played it and noticed immediately that it sounded very familiar to him and realized that it sounded a lot like the cubs jingle. He found a date and found the Lebeda jingle to be dated August 1977 with the Cubs jingle appearing sometime in 1984. After finding the Cubs Plagiarized their jingle, he started a lawsuit against the Chicago Cubs and WGN 720 AM. The lyrics for both jingles will be put below, let me know if you notice any similarities between the two jingles.

    whale spotted in illinois river A humpback whale was spotted near Morris IL in the Illinois River today. The sighting comes just days after 2 Great White Sharks were seen frolicking in the same area. While not impossible, it does seem unlikely. It is thought that the whale may have followed the sharks as they sometimes do in the wild. The whale would of had to travel over 1250 miles to get to this location. The Marine Biologist Association will be in town for a full investigation. Until we have answers, we are asking folks to keep their pontoons and fishing boats docked.

    two great white sharks found swimming in mississippi river near saint louis, missouri. While it is not entirely impossible, it is incredibly uncommon for salt water dwelling creatures to stay for lengthy periods of time in fresh water. However, two Great White Sharks have managed to survive the trip and make their way up the Mississippi River somehow. Believed to have started as a mating couple, the two are assumed to have swam the 920 mile journey from the mouth of the Mississippi River that is connected to the Gulf Of Mexico. Officials in Saint Louis have contacted the Missouri Conservation Department and will likely have a team in the river soon to capture the two lost sharks.
