Inside the Bank Manager is a Rock Star Screaming to Get Out
This dumbfounding version of U2’s One by Bank of America executives has been around for about a week now but I just gotta post it.
The lead singer is a Bank of America bank manager in Manhattan named Ethan Chandler. He actually has his own web site and album out called “Better Days Ahead”, which is probably what he will have for about the 15 minutes this notoriety will bring him. http://ethanchandler.com/
From his site.
“This record is about moving on from the past; getting up from the things that bring you down in life and looking forward to better days.” You can pick up his album from Apple’s iTunes and other digital download sites as well as CD Baby. Awesome.
The full lyrics from Stereogum.
Saturday Night Live couldn’t come up with something like this if they tried.
It is even better
Now that we’re the same
Two great companies come together
Now, MBNA is B of A
And it’s one bank
One card
One name that’s known all over the world
One spirit
We get to share it
Leading us all to higher standards
[ooohh, mmmm]
Do you like the cowboys?
Or your university?
Do you like the Yankees?
Or is NASCAR more your speed?
Well it’s your choice
Your right
To pick a card that shows
Your heart and your pride
We’re one with affinity
And we’ll carry each other
Carry each other
One
Have you come to meet Bruce Hammonds
Have you come to meet Leah McGee
Have you heard about Michelle Shepherd
She’s leading the team in the Northeast
And we’ve got Bank One on the run
What’s in your wallet? It’s not Capital One
It’s us, so which card are you?
Integration’s never had us feeling so good
And we’ll make lots of money, forever I can sing
About trusting in teamwork and doing the right thing
We’ll live out our core values
While the competition crawls
‘cause they want what we have got
But it’s only here at Bank of America
One bank
One card
One name that’s known all over the world
One heart , filled with spirit
We feel it, we share it
One bank working everyday
To bring higher standards
Higher standards
One
We are one, yeah
We are one
We are one bank
