Crooning for Bank of America

Wha? Um. Who? Der. Choo? Wabba foo?

Sorry about the nonsensical sentence, my brain just couldn't register what it was experience when it watched this video. At a corporate gathering for Bank of America, a man belted out his own version of a U2 song dedicated to his beloved Bank of America. I might have laughed had I not been gripped by a kind of paralysis experienced by the people who watched the haunted videotape in The Ring. Had the video lasted for another few seconds I'd probably be on the ground right now with my face contorted and frozen into an expression of absolute bewilderment.

Here's the thing: if you're going to make up new words to a song, make them funny. Also, keep the song short and don't sing about the corporation as if you're on stage at Madison Square Garden and millions of fans are hanging on your every word. That being said, I may have to pull this one out at the next karaoke bar I visit.
