Ringing Bells

Walmart?  Did you listen to this whole song before you put it into your walmart.com two-day delivery ads?  No, I suspect they associated bell-ringing with parcel delivery and let it rip.

I think it's lovely... I am fine being greeted this way at home after a trip... but I would be surprised if this is really the way Walmart wants to use sex to sell.

Here are the full lyrics:
I'm glad you're home Now did you really miss me? I guess you did by the look in your eye (Look in your eye, look in your eye) Well lay back and relax While I put away the dishes (put away the dishes) Then you and me can rock a bell
You can ring my bell, ring my bell You can ring my bell, ring my bell You can ring my bell, ring my bell You can ring my bell, ring my bell
The night is young And full of possibilities Well, come on and let yourself be free, yeah My love for you (love for you, love for you) So long I've been savin' Tonight was made for me and you
You can ring my bell, ring my bell (Ring my bell, ding-dong-ding) You can ring my bell, ring my bell (Ring my bell, ring-a-ring-a-ring) You can ring my bell, ring my bell (Ring my bell, ding-dong-ding) You can ring my bell, ring my bell (Ring my bell, ring-a-ring-a-ring)
You can ring my bell You can ring my bell (Ding, dong, ding, ah-ah, ring it) You can ring my bell, anytime, anywhere (Ring it, ring it, ring it, ring it, ow)
You can ring my bell, you can ring my bell (Ding, dong, ding, ah-ah, ring it) You can ring my bell, anytime, anywhere (Ring it, ring it, ring it, ring it, ow)
Bell, ring my bell (Ring my bell, ding-dong-ding) You can ring my bell, ring my bell (Ring my bell, ring-a-ring-a-ring) You can ring my bell, ring my bell
(Ring my bell, ding-dong-ding) You can ring my bell, ring my bell
