She Who Shall Not Be Named and I were in Whole Foods earlier today, searching for these GFCF vanilla sandwich cookies that apparently only exist at this one store in Tampa, and this older WF employee in the act of stocking shelves started singing a familiar song:
So ya
Thought ya
Might like to
Go to the show.
To feel that warm thrill of confusion,
That space cadet glow.
I've got some bad news for you sunshine,
Pink isn't well, he stayed back at the hotel
And they sent us along as a surrogate band
We're gonna find out where you folks really stand.
I'd been waiting for a chance to make a humorous interjection the whole time, and seized my chance...
Pete: Are you planning on singing that next verse?
Whole Foods Guy: I love that song, but I'd probably get in trouble.
For those who don't know, the next line of Pink Floyd's "In the Flesh" goes
Are there any queers in the theater tonight?
Get 'em up against the wall.
No word on how he would've approached the "coon" stanza.
