Here's a sample of the lyrics: >>It's as easy as fishin' You can be a musician If you can make sounds hard or mellow Get a second-hand guitar Chances are you'll go far If you get in with the right bunch of fellows People see you having fun Just a-lying in the sun You tell them that you like it this way It's the work that we avoid And we're all self-employed We love to work at nothing all day<< Not exactly the message that Office Depot wants to send, is it? So, anybody else have any favorite misuses of songs?
