Anything For A Buck

There’s a tanning salon next door to my hair ‘stylist’ joint called “Tan Your Hide”. Really. And that’d be funny if it wasn’t so dead-on accurate in describing what salon patrons are doing to themselves.

Speaking of leather, the indoor tanning industry had itself a convention last weekend in Nashville, and the ‘celebrity’ hired guns paid to attend included people named “Snooki” and “Khloe Kardashian”. (Since I honestly wouldn’t even know who these people are or why this industry would be paying them if I wasn’t a big fan of my young friend Chelsea’s fine blog, I’ll refer you to www.adventurewithmelanoma.blogspot.com  if you too might need to catch up on 21st Century popular culture.)  And Bruce Jenner was also on the convention program, which is truly amazing when he's had a recent brush with skin cancer.  Anything for a buck I guess.

For the indoor tanning industry, and the ‘celebrity’ low life people it pays to endorse its product, the Hotel Melanoma rendition of “Take The Money And Run” from The Steve Miller Band…

This here's a story about Khloe K and Snooki too
Two young tanners with nothin' better to do
Than sit around the house, get fried, and watch the tube
And here is what happened when they decided to hawk U’s

They headed down to, ooh, old town Nashville
That's where they ran into a great big tan show
Khloe K hawked the tans while Jenner showed his medals
Snooki too took the money and run

Go on take the money and run
Go on take the money and run
Go on take the money and run
Go on take the money and run

Cancer Black is epidemic, brown will vex us
You know C knows just exactly what the facts is
C ain't gonna let those two escape justice
C makes its livin' off of tan people's ‘backses’

Snooki too, whoa, whoa, she took her pay
Khloe K got bucks for her the very next day
They got the money, hey
You know they hawked the rays
They headed down south and they're still sunning today

Singin' go on take the money and run
Go on take the money and run
Go on take the money and run
Go on take the money and run
Go on take the money and run
Go on take the money and run
Go on take the money and run
Go on take the money and run
