So, I was up a bit late tonight getting ahead on some things prior to PubCon and a friend IM’s me with a video clip.
Now, I’m all one for company spirit. And I can see getting excited over a merger, especially if it brings financial benefit to you personally, and a lot of it. But, never, in my life, would a company event - a bank merger no freaking less - make me want to cover, re-word and emotionally belt into a microphone singing “One” (in public anyway - and something much fucking better than “One”, ugh)…
Vimeo sucks ass and took it down.
Thank goodness YouTube has a copy.
But, apparently, that guy doesn’t feel the same. ;-) There is no *way* he is not the office joke for the next two months. Shit, I’d make fun of him and I wasn’t even there to see the whole circus live.

Oh, but wait I remember someone did that at the last G**N xmas party. That’s why it felt familiar. Different song, but the same idea.
I’m inspired now. I’ll rewrite the lyrics for “We Are the World” and get everyone in my department to learn it for the next company gathering.
but only if you’ll back me up, rae

Wow, I think I may be speechless on that one…
If I was a marketing exec for a bank, and got to wear a bad suit all day, I suspect I’d be a little nuts too. ;-)
On a different note I really can’t see Bono supporting something like that.
