This Lamb Sells Condos
Heh, I was listening to some songs by a local [one-man] band Final Fantasy and came across this little gem. He has a song un-subtly titled "This Lamb Sells Condos" [Listen] which should set off alarms for any one who's living in Toronto right now.The song is clearly about the local real-estate developer Brad J. Lamb, who became a prominent face of Toronto condo boom by covering sides of bus stops and buildings with an amazingly atrocious billboard where he Photoshopped his own head onto a body of a lamb (get it!!!?!?) and sighing it off with a slogan "This Lamb Sells Condos".
The song itself is OK, but read through the lyrics... they're brutal:
I copied the lyrics from UrbanPhoto.net. More discussion in the Torontoist.No hope for the village, no hope for the village
There’s a merchant in our midst and with a barrel fist
He’s coloured every surface, he’s slapped up a portrait
And yes, it is his own! He’s gonna take your home!
Have you seen our visitor? Look! Over the treetops!
Newly conjured erections are making him a killing
And Richmond St. is illing, so the graduates are willing
To buy in to the pillage, now there is no hope for the villagePrisoners, be silent, be silent and be sharp
When he was a young man, he conjured up a firemare
And burnt off both his eyebrows and half a head of hair
And then as an apprentice, he took a Drowish mistress
Who bestowed upon his youthfulness a sense of champagne chic
Oh seduction, his seduction to the world of construction
Now his mind will start to wander when he’s not at his computer
Now his massive genitals refuse to cooperate
And no amount of therapy can hope to save his marriagePrisoners, be silent, be silent and be sharp
Can you hear them talking? Listen through the wall:Nothing to do, nothing to do
Living rent-free is boring me
Got no use for my PE Degree
Got no use for my pedigreeI feed you every morning and ask so little
But you belittle all the work that I do
When you take that walk without permission
I’m not defensive, I’m just saying this cause I love you
You know I hate it when your friends are in the pool
Old money stinks, send those faggots back to Forest Hill
Contentment? What contentment? I am bald and impotent
Is that what it’s about? Oh honey, honey, shut your mouthHedi Slimane
And Agnes B
I’m not content
I’m not content
Donna Karan
And Kara Saun
I’m not content
I’m not content

A condominium, or condo, is a form of housing tenure. It is the legal term used in the United States and in most provinces of Canada. In Australia and the Canadian province of British Columbia it is referred to as strata title. Quebec knows it as syndicates of co-ownership. In England and Wales the equivalent is commonhold, a form of ownership introduced in 2004 and at this time is uncommon. Colloquially, the term "condo" is often used to refer to the unit itself in place of the word "apartment". Technically, the condominium is the whole collection of individual home units along with the land upon which they sit. Individual home ownership is composed of only of the air-space within the boundaries of the home, as defined by a document known as a Declaration, sportsbook, filed of record with the local governing authority. Typically these boundaries will include the sheetrock surrounding a room, allowing the homeowner to make some interior modifications without impacting the common area. Anything outside this boundary is held in an undivided ownership interest by a corporation established at the time of the condominium’s creation. The corporation holds this property in trust on behalf of the homeowners as a group–-it does not have ownership itself. Big cities, including Chicago, New York City, Los Angeles, Miami, and Toronto, are major condo users. http://www.enterbet.com
