Calgary mayor makes good on playoff bet, belts out ‘Frozen’ song (Video)

Calgary mayor Naheed Nenshi is cool speaking in public. He says he likes to cliff-dive. Give him a microphone and make him sing in public? Watch him squirm.

He had to do this as part of a losing bet with Anaheim mayor Tom Tait over the second-round playoff series between the Ducks and Flames. And sing he did, and by sing, we mean … looked a little lost during Idina Menzel’s song “Let it Go” from the film “Frozen.”

The above video shows this event happening at chambers Monday. Probably the best part involves Nenshi wearing an old schook Mighty Ducks third jersey. Never mind, there are a lot of great parts. 

Per the Calgary Herald

Donning an older-style Ducks jersey, Nenshi was joined a capella band The Heebee-jeebees as he kicked off his performance. They were later joined by REVV 52, On Cue, the Calgary Children’s Choir, the Cowtown Opera, beatboxer James “Peterpot” McInnis and the Stampede Showband.

“It takes a community to embarrass a mayor,” Nenshi said afterwards.

Apparently his original plan was to sing “California Dreamin’” but this was a much better selection … because most of his voting populous is probably under the age of 70. And also, the Disney connotation with the film and the Ducks franchise … and the fact that this is way more awesome. 

Nenshi will also donate to the Anaheim’s at-risk youth project called Accelerate Change Together.
