If you could choose one song to play over the intercom as you get escorted out of the building, what would you play as your departure sound track? Perhaps an intense musical score from the Lord of the Rings? Or a classic, empowering jock jam such as "Tub Thumping" by Chumbawumba (this would be a great choice because it doubles as a way to make you feel good while also giving your coworkers one last headache). Or maybe you've drunk a little too much of the SPIRIT value koolaide over the years and things are going to feel more personal, so you choose something like "My heart will go on" by Celine Dion to express your deep emotions as you bid farewell. Or, if you are bitter and need to express some anger as you leave with a song like "F*ck You" by Lily Allen, that's ok too. Let's just imagine there is a way to hijack the intercom and put together a little theoretical playlist....

Wasted days and wasted nights,
I have left for you behind
For you don't belong to me,
Your heart belongs to someone else.
Why should I keep loving you,
When I know that you're not true?
And why should I call your name,
When you're to blame
For making me blue?
Don't you remember the day,
That you went away and left me?

Better bring your own Boom Box because COP won't give you anything but a small stack of papers to play with on the way out.

I'd like to build on this concept a bit and perform an acapella number on my way out. (think Glee meets mass layoffs). Picture this: they tell me the news ("due to recent market conditions we have to let you go.... Yada yada yada"), then the lights dim, it starts raining outside, I stand up and begin singing Linkin Park's In The End. The HR lady joins in as she hands me
my paperwork. Next, 3 security guards come to escort me out. Together with the HR lady and security guards, we all start singing. When I reach the bridge in the lobby I hit my most intense vocal notes while I jump down onto the receptionist's desk. She throws me a guitar and I rip an awesome guitar solo to finish the song. Once the song is over, the security guards are no longer back up singers and walk me out of the building as normal.

@454: it can be about anything you want. It's YOUR song. And that's a very on point choice. If I had a dollar for every time that tune has been playing in my mind during a meeting... I wouldn't be worried about getting laid off.
If the song will be about COP, I'll be thinking of that song that the circus plays when the clowns are tripping over each while trying to accomplish something.
