I hate that place. It's in my neighborhood (the ghetto), but I avoid it. Here's a song about that Kroger.


Ghetto Kroger



Been a while since I've hit the store
A few weeks, maybe more,
And I'm lookin' at empty cupboards, yeah (x2)

Chorus
I don't want to go, no
But I can go on much longer
So I'll find my way to that place
When my foodstuffs need replaced
When my foodstuffs need replaced


I park the car and I grab a cart
I get pissed before I start
I shop in the fucking ghetto, yeah (x2)

My wrists I would like to slit
As a kid throws a fucking fit
This store can suck my dick ,yeah (x2)

Stick a butter, loaf a bread and a gallon of milk...

Billy, you are like Weird Al but you write your own music instead. However, all your songs sound king of familiar. Like when South Park makes fun of various songs. But you do it well. I gotta be honest, I wasn't that into this one. As someone who has shopped at many a ghetto Krogers i feel this could have been a lot more amusing. Lots of material and you just didn't go for it this time. You can do it man. Tell us why you really don't want to go to the Krogers. Maybe a follow up?

Good stuff Billy Cool. I'm a fan.

here's a tip, tho':

there are many kroger's in and around many places one may choose to refer to as "ghetto" but the kroger at 7th (king) & high is Ghetto Kroger

if you refer to any other kroger as Ghetto Kroger everyone will think yer talking about that one anyway so embrace it


and seriously, just because weird al is funny and music doesn't mean everyone who tries to be funny and music bears a resemblance

I've been to both. I think it's mostly a tie. However, there are no truly "ghetto" supermarkets. If they were truly "ghetto", the cash registers would be 7 feet up to prevent people diving over the counter and there would be bars on the windows at all times. There would be "loosy" cigarettes and blunts available at the checkout. There would be a large assortment of 40oz malt liquor, really cheap wine, and energy drinks.

I don't think the places that you are describing would be considered "super"markets. They would be in the carryout family.

That's my point. The supermarkets aren't "ghetto".

is billy cool afraid of black people?

that's all i've been thinking this whole thread.

"is he racist? classist? or just a pussy?"

nope, pretty sure "funny" isn't an issue here . . .

To be fair, humor and musical taste are very subjective. I listened to his songs with an open mind and did not care for them, and I know that I can like someone and not like their music/humor and vice versa.

Why do you guys have to turn all my threads into a Billy bitchfest? Why not just be cool and tell me how awesome my songs are? We'd get along a lot better that way. Or, you could just keep trolling me.

You know what used to piss me off about the Ghetto Kroger, the High and 7th one... I used to live right by there. For years they didn't sell beer in bottles on OSU football game weekends. And then to top it off they only had comdoms at the service counter and didn't have anybody there at night, and good luck finding somebody to get them for you... It's like if you're trying to party that's not the place to go.
