Brand is well known for writing catchy, themed, folk songs, including the eponymous theme to his initially CTV and then CBC television show "Let's Sing Out" and the Canadian patriotic song "Something to Sing About" (actual title: "This Land of Ours"), which is one of Canada's national songs.
Brand has for some years used an Americanized lyric of "Something to Sing About" as a theme song for his Folksong Festival radio program on WNYC in New York City.
Its recordings for RCA (RCA Camden in the United States) sold well, and its single (on Apex Records) of Oscar Brand’s Something to Sing About was a national hit in the celebratory time before the Canadian centennial in 1967.
