Isn't it interesting how a person can hear a song and feel as though it were written just for them? Nietzsche said, "Without music, life would be a mistake." Last week I talked about real estate's influence on literature, and today I think we should consider how some of the most famous songs in the world were influenced by our often undervalued profession. Here's my evidence (would I lie to you?):
Happiness is a Warm Gun (A Brokers Open in South Central)
Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds (A Beverly Hills agent on nine cups of java)
Please, Please Me (Refrain of the Greek Chorus at a Listing Appointment)
Another One Bites the Dust (Refrain of the Greek Chorus when your buyer tells you he recently "invested" the down payment money)
Thriller (A 4% commission that requires no sexual favors)
Brown Sugar (A sweet deal that turns to s__t.)
Dancing Queen (A West Hollywood agent at COE)
Straight Outta Compton (A house with bullet holes for air conditioning)
Bang Bang (Name of the HVAC company that services Compton)
You Shook Me All Night Long (Twilight Open near the San Andreas Fault)
Would I Lie To You (An extra credit question on the state real estate exam - the multiple choice selection is: a) Yes b) Why Not? c) Does a turd float? or c) All of the above, bozo)
The Tracks of My Tears (The road from here to your last failed escrow)
