Proposal
On hearing that Starwood, which includes the Sheraton, Westin and W Hotels brands, has hired former Coca-Cola exec Steven Heyer to take over the top spot from company founder Barry S. Sternlicht, an old refrain started running through my head and new lyrics kept popping in. So, to exorcise this little demon from my consciousness, I wanted to inflict it on you. With apologies to Coke…
I’d like to buy the world a room
And furnish it with smiles
A Westin Heavenly Bed
For every sleepy head
Who’s feeling those traveled miles
(da dum dum dum)
I’d like teach the world to meet
In perfect harmony
AV with no glitch
F&B with no hitch
And it won’t take all your money
It’s the Starwood thing
What the guests want today
For those on their way
This is where they will stay
It’s the Starwood thing
OK, that’s pretty pathetic. Can you come up with some better lyrics?
And for you youngsters who have no idea what I’m babbling about, click here for the real lyrics and a rendition of Coke’s legendary jingle that made Mrs. Herbert make sure her music class sang the words “furnish it” with very, very careful pronounciation.
