We're just days away from Black Friday!!!  Remember: "When you have shopping on the brain, it helps to have a song in your heart."

So, award-winning songwriter Lou Carlozo (who?) has written a song called "Black Friday Blues" to salute the kick off to the 2009 shopping season!  It's pretty funny, so I just had to share...(although I was working on a song of my own!)

Compliments of AOL Video. Click here to view this "Black Friday Blues" video.  (By the way, you'll have to suffer thru a brief "ad" before the video song begins.) For those of you who would like to have a "Shoppers Sing Along", the lyrics are written below.

"Black Friday (Can't Get No Zhu Zhu Pet) Blues" By Lou Carlozo

When the turkey's all done getting stuffed, then it's your turn
Twenty shopping bags you'll try to drag while your cash burns
You'll line up at midnight, stay awake the whole night through:
Going, going, Bakugan!!! No zhu zhu pets for you...

When Black Friday's done
Maybe you can get away
You're gonna need a vacation
From your happy holiday
Who gets to do the dirty work
So the kids can play?
There's no other way...

Tell me who needs XBox or the Nintendo Wii?
What we need is a video game called Shopping Spree
Jockey for your parking space, set debit cards on stun
Fight the mobs with martial arts, now don't that sound like fun?

When Black Friday's gone
Where's your happy Saturday?
You're gonna need a second job
With those bills to pay
So max out your credit cards
Sell your kids on eBay
What do you say?

Peace on Earth ... with Death Star Legos in every aisle
Goodwill toward men ... and robot dogs with programmed smiles
Today it's the perfect gift, tomorrow perfect trash
Oh well, if all else fails, there's always cold hard cash
There's always cold hard cash
There's always cold hard cash

When Black Friday's done
Maybe you can get away
You're gonna need a second job
With those bills to pay
Who gets to do the dirty work
So the kids can play?
What do you say?
