Corporate Rock

Does your employer have a theme song? My old one has not one but two.

The first one made the rounds at the office when I worked there. Rumor has it they spent in the six figures to commission it - at a time when they were laying off people left and right.

Chorus
KPMG, we're strong as can be
A team of power and energy
We go for the gold
Together we hold onto our vision of global strategy.

Complete lyrics and remixes of the first song available here.

Lyrics and Children's Choir version of the second tune available here.

On a related note, I was rather proud of myself recently for sprouting the idea of forming a corporate rock band - ROBUST SOLUSHUNZ (I don't know how to do umlauts, but they go over the first "u" in Solushunz) - that would compose original works for corporate clients and perform them at company retreats, team-building exercises, etc. You can imagine the songs - Leveraging The Crap Out Of Our Best Practices; You'll Always Be My Preferred Vendor; Cumberland (Mutual Property & Casualty Insurance Company) Feel The Noize, etc.

I ran this by Darth the other day, and he promptly rained on my parade by telling me a friend of his is doing exactly that somewhere in greater NYC, and is actually making a few bucks doing so.

I hate when I get beaten to the punch on a good idea.
