Having spent my entire life in what's known around here as "Chicagoland", I can wholeheartedly agree with the statement put forth on each side of this 45, which comes to us from the legendary ad-man and jingle writer extraordinaire Dick Marx (father of the not-so-legendary Richard Marx).
On the other hand, I'm not so much a fan of the styles Mr. Marx employed here, but if the "Contemporary" version heard on one side is also not for you, perhaps the "March Version" will be more to your liking!
Dick Marx Orchestra and Chorus - You Haven't Seen the U.S.A. Until You've Seen Chicago (Contempoary Version) (MP3) | Dick Marx Orchestra and Chorus - You Haven't Seen the U.S.A. Until You've Seen Chicago (March Version) (MP3) | Contemporary Version 45 Label (JPG) | March Version 45 Label (JPG)
I'm glad they labeled it as "contemporary". Otherwise I'd never have known.

Well, this song is just fantastic. Makes me proud to be a Chicagoan!
