Abandon all hope, ye who listen here.
Wonderful report on a motivational/celebratory conference for Starbucks executives (go to the February 24 entry). After the usual nonsense you find at such corporate events, they had a performance of the "Jefferson Starbucks" - upper-management types dressed in 80's rock and roll costumes (the hair, the leather pants, and the like) - singing a Starbucks-specific rewrite of "We Built This City (on rock and roll)" as "We Built This Starbucks On Heart and Soul!"
Sample lyrics:
Knee-deep in the mocha/making coffee right
So many partners/working late at night
We just want to build here--IMDS, does it pass?
We call on development to complete the task!
Living the way of being,
In the Green Apron Book!
Don't you remember?
We built this Starbucks on heart and soul!
Had enough yet? No? Then you simply must listen to the song, which Starbucks put onto CDs for your personal enjoyment.
And once you hear it, you'll probably need a Brillo pad to scrape it out of your memory.
