'Do Something' Is An Anthem For Suffering Leaf Fans

06 Feb, 2015

As the Leafs take a 10-game losing streak into Friday night's game in New Jersey, a YouTube ballad pleading for an end team's struggles is snowballing in popularity.

"Do Something," a parody of the piano-driven hit "Say Something" by A Great Big World and Christina Aguilera, had almost 570,000 hits on the video sharing website as of Thursday evening.

Its creator, singer-songwriter Steven Ryan of St. George, Ont., said became a die-hard leaf fan about six years ago because of his fiancee.

And those have been six very lean years. "My entire experience has been heartbreak," he said.
