No Demo, No Buy ♪ ♫ ♪♪

[Eddy Vortex]

Thanks to @Persephone Emerald giving me an earworm, I'll forever hear the "No Woman No Cry" melody every time I go shopping.  Anyway, the "no demo, no buy" mantra is always a good lesson to remember if you don't want to get burned (again) by regretful purchases.  It is said that music helps us remember things better, so with apologies to Bob Marley, I present my pitiful take on the tune.  If it can save one soul from wasting their hard-earned Lindens from a bum purchase, it'll be worth it.

No demo, no buy
No demo, no buy
No demo, no buy
No demo, no buy

Say, say. Said I remember when we used to sit
Before the vendor without demos
Wonder, wondering if the dress will fit
As we would gamble on good faith that they won't cheat

Good funds we have, oh, good funds we’ve lost
Along the way
In this bright future, you can't forget your past
So dry your tears, I say

No demo, no buy
No demo, no buy
Hey bro, don't trust that photoshopped ad
No demo, no buy

Said, said, said I remember when we used to stand
In a store offering no demos
And then I would take the chance and buy it
As grainy textured pants gives no delight
Then we would know how bad it was, I say
Of which I’ll share with you

Our feet is our only carriage
And so we vote with our dollars
But remember this, kids...

You gotta try before you buy
Everything's gonna be all right
You gotta try before you buy
Everything's gonna be all right

So no demo, no buy
No demo, no buy
Hey bro, don't trust that photoshopped ad
No demo, no buy

Wow that's very creative. I'm stupid enough to buy clothes with demo and I didn't use it. I have now 2 tops without Maitreya sizes (surprise, surprise).

Good dating advice, too!

I'm not so good at reggae but gotta admit I'm tempted

 

 

ETA: IF by some strange chance it does happen then watch this space for a casting call, we're going to want a whole bunch of you wearing the worst-fitting clothes you've ever bought to film the dance video. Come and shake your poke-through

Doo eeet! The grid hasn't had a hit since Foolish Frost's Rockstar.
