Au revoir, Sky Mall: A musical tribute
It’s over…
The Sky Mall has filed for bankruptcy.
And the immortal words of Pablo Cruise come to mind:
No, I don’t know why they’re nekkid.
“And all your friends
They calling you a fool
Cause you don’t know
A good thing when you’ve
Got it in your hand”
And speaking of musical truths, I felt the only way to convey my heartfelt appreciation to the Sky Mall for the bounty of blog fodder over the years was an homage set to music.
My first instinct was to create a video slideshow set to the haunting “I Will Remember You” as sung by Sarah Mclachlan, but I don’t know how to do that, and I don’t have that kind of time.
So instead, I’m asking you to sing along with the following karaoke track of Golden Slumbers/Carry That Weight by The Beatles replacing the more commonly known lyrics with ones I’ve provide for you below. (Work with me, people!)
Without further adieu, I give you my musical tribute to Sky Mall. Last (sniff), in a series.
You’re welcome…
Golden Sky Mall
Once there was a place,
to shop for Sasquatch,
Once there was a place,
to shop for combs
Weep pretty darlings, go on cry
There’s no more shopping in the sky…
Siamese slankets filled the skies
Weep pretty darlings, go on cry
There’s no more mall up in the sky
Once there was a place,
with magic toilets
Once there was a place,
for endless pools
Weep pretty darlings go on cry
There’s no more dog beds in the sky
Boy you’re gonna carry that weight,
carry that weight for a long time
Boy you’re gonna carry that weight,
carry that weight for a long time
I only send you my invitations
And in the middle of the celebrations,
I break down
Boy you’re gonna carry that weight,
carry that weight for a long time
Boy you’re gonna carry that weight,
carry that weight for a long time…
*****
A fond farewell, Sky Mall. Your pages were scanned by millions.
Too bad no one ever bought anything from you.
Ever.
