Stuff Mart

There is a wonderful Veggie Tales song about a store called Stuff Mart much like Walmart Super Centers or CostCos. Stuff Mart has everything you could ever need and they say it all in a really catchy song:
But if you need a window scrapper
And a gross of toilet paper
Or a rachet set and pliers
And surround sound amplifiers
And a solar turkey chopper
Or a padded gopher bopper
Flannel shirts for looking grungy
And some rope for goin' bunji
Bunji! Bunji! Bunji-wun-gee-fun-gee!
Here we go, bunji! Come on!

Well Hollywood is hyped as a Stuff Mart for the film industry:
And if you need a grip
or someone to read your script
go to Paramount to see
how lucky you could be
in finding a director
who'll be the protector
of your tiny little thought
that just might get bought
and made into a movie
that will be really groovie
Groovie! Groovie! Groovie-woovie-woovie!

Coming to Hollyweird was like walking into a Stuff Mart where all the products on the shelves talk. And all they talk about is themselves. Think about that the next time you walk into Walmart.
