This week I came across enthem.com (linked below), a site that will make an anthem, er, enthem, for your company. As the site says, "Our question is: If each and every nation has a national anthem, why shouldn't every business?".
Hey, why stop there? If every business has an anthem, why shouldn't every employee? I already know how mine would go! It would be sung to the tune of "On Top of Old Smokey" and would go something like this: "From the top to the bottom of this companeeeeee, lives manipulation, lies and thievereeeeeee. I can't take it anyyyyymore, I'd really like to pass. But instead I just sit here and take it up the ass."
I never said this was a classy blog.
Oh what will they think of to torture us with next? Maybe if they gathered all the employees on a set of bleachers and made us sing it like I had to in high school. Yeah, that would make it worse.
So I gave it a chance and listened to the samples on the site. Corny and lame. They recommend playing your company's anthem in the elevators of the company building. Oh my god, if I had to hear the enthem of my company each time I stepped on the elevator, eventually I would snap. One day you would see me get in, and then you'd find me hanging from the ceiling when the doors opened up again. And hopefully they'd open up on the 20th floor where the CEO sits. I've always wanted to go up there...
As an aside, this all reminds me of John Ashcroft singing the song he so proudly wrote and sung, "Let the Eagle Soar".

Ha! Good post. I particularly like to picture what it would be like to hear my company anthem while in the elevator. One of those things that would be funny for like 2 times, but then I would want to shoot myself after that.
