'Bury Me at Wal-Mart' By Allison Hantschel, Chicago Daily Southtown
Stand-up comedy is replete with Wal-Mart jokes: The top 'Wal-Mart Wines' include 'Peanut Noir' and 'Big Red Gulp.' Internet joke sites list ways in which Wal-Mart is similar to heaven: 'Some old geezer named Peter greets you at the doors.'
Songwriter Dave Lippman wrote an entire album entitled 'I Hate Wal-Mart.'
Country songstress Sue Fabisch responded with an ode to the store entitled 'Wal-Mart Woman,' a parody of Trisha Yearwood's 'Real Live Woman' tune.
Other Wal-Mart tunes include 'Bury Me at Wal-Mart' about a man who runs into his cheating wife in the Wal-Mart parking lot, and the self-explanatory 'I Lost My Man In a Wal-Mart Store,' both country songs:
'I know we're in an awful fix / Our shelves have all run dry / We don't make the Wal-Mart quick / We will surely die.'------------------------------------------- posted 12:43 PM :: reference link ::
