Brooklyn Brewery announces winner of G Train Song Contest
It may not achieve the international fame of Duke Ellington’s trademark “Take the A Train,” but now, the G train has an official fan song, thanks to Brooklyn Brewery.
The company announced Thursday that “No Burning Headlight,” by newcomer Williamsburg band Teen Commandments, was the runaway winner of the company’s month-long contest, “Brooklyn, Sweden,” to compose a song inspired by Brooklyn’s crosstown train.
Out of more than 40 entries, the 80’s-inspired, dreamy rock number by Williamsburg residents Brett Moses and Nick LaGrasta garnered 591 votes, 141 more than second place “I’ll Wait for You,” submitted by Ross Brunneti.
