One Bank, one card, one ridiculous song
Sure, it’s just a throw-away pep-song for a corporate meeting, and a surprisingly well-made one to boot, but it’s just too, too much.
Bank of America’s “One” music video suffers in production value (these effects aren’t so special, as one famous critic famously put it), but the rendition is heartfelt.
(I wish Mixed Nuts were still around Kenmore Square. They’d make a killing air-guitaring this one outside of the Bank of America branch office.)

Here are the lyrics to the Bank of America version of One:
It is even better
now that we’re the same
two great companies come together
now, mbna is BofA
And this one bank one card
one name that’s known all over the world
One spirit we get to share it
leading us all to higher standards
Do you like the Cowboys
or your university?
Do you like the Yankees
or is Nascar more your speed?
Well it’s your choice your right
To pick a card that shows
your heart and your pride
We’re one with affinity
And we’ll carry each other
carry each other
Have you come to meet Bruce Simmons?
Have you come to meet Leah McGee?
Have you heard about Michelle Sheppard?
She’s leadin’ the team in the Northeast
And we’ve got bank one on the run
what’s in your wallet?
It’s not capital one
It’s us
so which card are you
integration’s never had us feeling so good
and we’ll make lots of money
Forever I can sing
about trusting in team work
and doing the right thing
We’ll live out our core values
while the competition crawls
They want what we’ve got
but it’s only here
at Bank of America
one bank one card
one name that’s known all over the world
One heart filled with spirit
we feel it, share it
One bank working every day
to bring higher standards
higher standards
One
we are one
we are one
we are one bank
