Want proof for how seriously Justin McElroy takes his job as CBC's municipal affairs reporter? Click play on the video.

He has sung the names of every municipality all 162 plus some extras like "UBCity" and Bowser, setas a parody of "Yakko's World" from the American animated comedy television seriesAnimaniacs.

Why would Justin do such athing? Well, because he's Justin (follow him on Twitter, and you'll understand). And also this was his and a videographer's entryfor atalent competition forCBCemployees. (They won, in case you're wondering).

We decided to share a more polished version with a wider audience, and roped ina graphic designer and a social media editor (me) to help him out. And the result, is well, this video!
