This should be the song for one final commercial for Toys R US. Where you see a kid growing up to an adult and then walking out of a store flipping an open sign to closed.
I remember the days before they came for me. I've traded a bike helmet for a cap; a basketball for a rifle; a backpack full of books for an army pack. I remember my sister and my baby brother, my mother and my father. Every day I live... is for them.
The truth is that Toys R Us should never close. I dont even want to here the song because it just makes me so sad. Others say that they are so sad that it is closing but im affected deeply. My dad worked for Toys R Us before it closed. He is jobless now. But what about the kids that Geoffrey The Giraffe has impacted. He has taught kids what its like to dream. Without him, the world isnt the same!
Well bad marketing decisions and agreeing to a shitty contract with Amazon ruined them, along with already huge brands starting to sell toys. What I’m saying is they didn’t adapt to selling online, and when they finally got into the online business instead of getting there own website, or just negotiating a better contract, they agreed to Amazon that they would ONLY sell toys at Amazon, then Amazon started selling there competitors toys above Toys R us, which made Toys R us waste a bunch of time in court, and then Target and Walmart started selling toys, which hurt Toys R us even more, until they filed for bankruptcy (they thought under bankruptcy protection they could fulfill there changes), but then the big competitors slashed there prices, and Toys R us couldn’t keep up. But still, Rest In Peace Toys R Us, you will be remembered with positivity.
34 years old. Rough around the edges, beer drinking, football watchin, mechanic/welder, my eyes watered up and nose started running when he hit “it WAS the biggest toy store.......”
I will be damned if I didn't cry a little hearing this. Very sad that every place I enjoyed growing up is gone and done. Rip to kb toys, toys r us, Hollywood video, blockbuster, gamecrazy, k Mart and so much more that is gone for good. #idontwanttogrowup #toysruskid
Nothing silly about this. I was sad enough to discover last January that my local Toys R Us was one of the stores set to close its doors, but then the news came that they were all going out of business. I'm 43 years old, and I was in tears. It's the end of an era. Our only child is about to turn one year old, and we were looking forward to the day that we could take him into Toys R Us and excitedly run up and down the isles of this magical place. We took him in last Friday for his first (and likely last) Toys R Us experience. It was heartbreaking to see the clearance signs and empty shelves. I grew up with this commercial jingle. Thank you for doing it justice, and reflecting what many of us are feeling.
For thoughs who don't understand toys r us is going out because of Wal-Mart and Amazon and all the other stores and no one really goes there often so they stoped making a lot of money
I didn't wanna grow up, I was a Toys "R" Us kid, They got no more toy at Toys "R" Us for me to play with. I didn't wanna grow up, I was a Toys "R" Us kid, They were the best, but now they're a mess, I wanna flip my lid. No bikes or trains or video games This is the saddest feeling there is (gee whiz!) But I had to grow up, and maybe 'cause I did, There'll be no more Toys "R" Us kids. R.I.P games and toys and joy. I still wanna be a Toys "R" Us kid.
My mom worked at the Toys R Us location in Chicago for 17 years and on Jeffery's last day, before the costume was shipped off, an employee wore the Jeffery mascot costume and they played this version while the employees took pictures with him. So thanks so much for this!
Remember stuff like Skylanders and Disney Infinity? I remember I used to go to Toys R Us early in the morning on the day each new game of the series came out before the store even opened, and when the store opened, we would go on a shopping spree and find EVERY. SINGLE. FIGURE. THAT WAS RELEASED AT THE TIME. I don't go to Toys R Us much anymore, but I'm sad that this store that I have so many memories from is going to have to be pulled from life support sooner than expected. Rest in peace, Toys R Us. It's really a tragedy you have to go so close to your 70th anniversary. "I don't wanna grow up. I'm a Toy R Us kid."
Skylanders and Disney Infinity.. I’d hope that people can remember things from a few years ago 😂 What about Tamagotchi’s, Pogs, Skip-It’s, etc.? That’s when both Toys R Us & Kids R Us were extremely popular! The internet has taken over and it’s unfortunately ruining businesses.
We all have to grow up one day and move on from our childhood. But treasure than good times at Toys R Us and never forget never forget I know if it will be hard to get over it but over time we will we will get through like and say there's always a light at the end of the tunnel it may bring us to tear but we'll get over it. it's time to move on with life but treasure the good times Rest In Peace Toys R US. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Damn this hit me real hard. Toys R Us was a heaven to me when I was a little kid. I remember going there every christmas and every birthday to excitedly run down my favourite isle and ask for more LPS. Even after I grew out of that, my mum and I still used to go into Toys R Us to have a look around and reminisce about everything she would have bought me if I were still little. I still got enjoyment from going there, even when I wasn’t little - I have a photo from not long ago when I was playing on one of the bikes I thought was cool! But I can’t even do things like that anymore. It’s kind of sad that now we have to rely on what brought this toy store down in the first place.
Damn that really sucks, whenever I'd have to buy birthday or Christmas gifts, Toys R Us is the place I usually go to... Thank you for answering my question though.
Sushi Puff I can't stop crying every time I think about it it makes me solo sad I can't even think about because I literally can't sop crying😭😭😭😭😭 I'm crying right now as I type this
This was so beautiful... I remember being an appropriately aged toys r us kid... now I'm an over aged toys r us kid(teen, but still a kid at heart), and it's sad seeing something that has so many lives involved going out of business. RIP toys r us.😔💔 (great job on the song, Chase!)
As a toys r us worker, tomorrow, june 29, 2018 we will close our doors. My heart is broken. I really loved my job, I looked forward to work every day. This version of the song broke me down in tears. I did love it tho. Thank you
I was listening to this again with my daughter's and we all had a great idea. It would be amazing if you made an updated version celebrating that Toys R Us is re-opening.
My mom worked at toys r us when I was super young and she sang this all the time until I was about 16 this kinda broke my heart haha. I have to share this with her.
He is extremely talented. Some of the things he'll typically do to make it haunting and sad is changing it to a minor key (changing a few specific notes to a half step down), as well as singing it in a slower tempo and with more of an emphasis on feeling. It's not hard to change a song in that way, but the level of perfection and talent he displays every time just blows me away
Story time: I didn't get to go to the closing. Didn't get to browse the shelves of the store I once loved. The store that, for so many growing up, became a staple. For birthdays, Christmas... heck even Easter for basket toys. I was passing by one on my way to lunch, and couldn't help but stop and look. I glanced in the windows, at how quickly it had been cleared out. I watched as the last shelf made it out of the store, the workers moving quickly to get it loaded onto a truck. Such a sad sight as I now looked at the empty husk of a building. No more toy store. This toy store chain I loved looking around in as a kid, and even poking around in as an adult, was just gone. As if it had never existed. Soon, I knew the sign would be removed. And me, along with the rest of the people who loved this old place, would be left with a reminder that, once, we were Toys 'R' Us kids; but we had to grow up. Time is a cruel thing. I can only hope it makes a comeback somehow...
This is a beautiful and heartbreaking way to find out Toys R Us is closing. I don't know if the song compensates for the shock, but better than the news...
WHERE CAN I FIND THE INSTRUMENTAL!?!?!??! THIS IS BEAUTIFUL!~♡ Keep up the good work 😊👍 RIP TOYS R US FOREVER BE IN OUR HEARTS & MEMORIES ps. I NEVER BEEN TO TOYS R US FOR 10 OR 11 YEARS!!!!AND I NOW CAN'T GO THERE ANYMORE 😭😭😭😭
Dude, that was beautiful, I'm seriously going to miss Toys R Us. It wasn't just a toy section, it was the greatest toy store known to humanity. Rest in Peace Toys R Us. 😞
I helped close down our store here in Layton Utah 5 years ago when you first released this. My boyfriend at the time sent me this on what he did not know was the last day that our store was going to be open. I opened his text and saw your video while getting ready for work. Oh my God I cried
I can't take it anymore when my mom told me toys are US is shutting down I was sad but I didn't cry because toys are US has always been there but then when I stared watching there 80s commercials I couldn't stop crying I'm literally crying right now as I'm writing this and I can't stop crying I don't know what to do nothing can replace TOYS ARE US!!!!!!😭😭😭😭😭😭😵😵😵😣😣😢😢😢
2007-2018 I didn't get to experience the joy that was Toys R Us for long, but it will always hold a special place in my heart. I lived for their Thomas the Train setup, their Pokémon events, and their birthday club. I loved their little events they had, and all the demos. Even if I couldn't buy anything because I was (and still am) a broke fish, I'd just walk around the aisles aimlessly forever, looking at all the things I'd totally buy one day. I still have my last birthday sticker on my wall, and have a Geoffrey plushie in my basement. I will always be a Toys R Us kid.
RIP Toys R Us and Geoffrey the Giraffe U will be missed Is anyone else remembering ur memories there and sad u can’t go back We won’t even get toys r us birthday gift cards and advantages anymore (which gives us teens the excuse to go back😥😥😥
Yep. I was sad when I heard the news. We went there rarely when I was a kid but it was amazing when we did. I was always so overwhelmed by all the toys. Even as an adult I thought it was a great store and wished I could go more. Sadly there were none in our area or we would have. :(
kaitlyn anders Memememememe. I was thinking of like a little boy just hanging out @ toys R us, and as the song goes on, you see the boy slowly getting older and then walk out of the store all grown up. I just can’t make it because I don’t have talent😂
I go there on desired days in Charlottesville. I sometimes play demos of games on the 3DS, sometimes cruise on a Y-Flicker scooter, but one time, I literally met Geoffrey.
Lol how is this only 14k. This is epic every time I hear it. I moved hack to my home town and I pass by where ours used to be. I remember all those wonderful years as a 90's kid and I am reminded of this. Ty again for this.
You guys didn't really miss anything. I went to one a few months ago, it was sad, the very floor reminded me of a Kamart I used to have in town (it closed in Sept. 2017). They were both old, lonely and bankrupt. >~< And the service I got at check out sucked. :D But I remember it looking a lot nicer when I was a kid.
Rip toys r us miss you already❤❤❤ this song makes me sad and still makes me cry now! I live in the uk 🇬🇧 london and this song is just pure crystal boom vine!
R.I.P. TOYS 'R' US (1948-2018) 😭
Chase Holfelder slowly killing children's stores, one song at a time
R.I.P
Chase Holfelder I can't believe they're closing... wow, that's the end of an era.
😭😭😭😭😢😢😢😢
You gotta figure kids are now into online gaming. Sad to say but it was bound to happen.
This should be the song for one final commercial for Toys R US. Where you see a kid growing up to an adult and then walking out of a store flipping an open sign to closed.
GradyRho92 😢
Can you not make me cry when I'm eating soup 😢😭
I would actually sob.
Do you want me to cry? Wow, I'm crying now.
They can’t afford another commercial
This is even sadder because today, June 29, 2018 *EVERY* Toys "R" Us in the U.S. has now closed down.
I don't mean to rub salt in the wound, but there are still some stores in my area up in Canada.
just come to Canada man
Thank god they survived here in Canada. I feel so bad.
There reopening toys "R" us in a little bit
Really? On my damn birthday. Shame
I want to still be a toys r us kid (1948-2018)
Kinda sounds like a sad forced-to-grow-up-too-soon story and this is their thoughts right before
I remember the days before they came for me. I've traded a bike helmet for a cap; a basketball for a rifle; a backpack full of books for an army pack. I remember my sister and my baby brother, my mother and my father. Every day I live... is for them.
My toys r us in Cerritos, California is closing in a few days, RIP Edit: it closed 3 days ago.
John Schuster 😭
John Schuster I feel so bad 4 u
Playing this song in an empty, dark, ToysRus store would be both really sad and epic.
The truth is that Toys R Us should never close. I dont even want to here the song because it just makes me so sad. Others say that they are so sad that it is closing but im affected deeply. My dad worked for Toys R Us before it closed. He is jobless now. But what about the kids that Geoffrey The Giraffe has impacted. He has taught kids what its like to dream.

34 years old. Rough around the edges, beer drinking, football watchin, mechanic/welder, my eyes watered up and nose started running when he hit “it WAS the biggest toy store.......”
I cried not gonna lie 😢
Toys r'us last word: thank you all for allowing us to be a part of this wonderful community for over 30 years.
*I will always be a toys r'us kid!*
Actually 70 years
The original singer of the original song commented on Facebook and was touched and gave her the weeping eyes
I will be damned if I didn't cry a little hearing this. Very sad that every place I enjoyed growing up is gone and done. Rip to kb toys, toys r us, Hollywood video, blockbuster, gamecrazy, k Mart and so much more that is gone for good. #idontwanttogrowup #toysruskid
Sorry to say this but, toys r us is still in other countries, kb toys is coming back, and the last blockbuster is in Oregon
This man can make music out of anything oh goodness
Agreed! He could sing the phone book (which is probably not too far behind Toys R Us!) and I would listen.
idk if you mean like his writing but if you are this is the jingle from the 90s
Skizzy i know that. I meant that change the key of it.
So true.
He really got the piano
I'm Literly Crying About Toys R Us Going Bankrupt
Their My Childhood 😖😭
Maximus Does Stuff same toys r us is my childhood too buddy.

Silly?? More like heart breaking :(((
My childhood is now gone 1999-2018 😥😥😥
It's 1948

Nothing silly about this. I was sad enough to discover last January that my local Toys R Us was one of the stores set to close its doors, but then the news came that they were all going out of business.

Thank you for doing it justice, and reflecting what many of us are feeling.
This still makes me cry 5 years later. The vox gets me every time.
Why:
-is his voice so good
-does he look so good in a suit
-do I not have a life
-does toys r us decide to close
-is this so hauntingly beautiful
your pfp lol
Taylor Massey here is why it closed a lot of debt and also bankruptcy
Erica Benn and amazon
They had no choice they were $5 billion dollars in debt apparently
The owner died so they decide to close down
For thoughs who don't understand toys r us is going out because of Wal-Mart and Amazon and all the other stores and no one really goes there often so they stoped making a lot of money
I didn't wanna grow up, I was a Toys "R" Us kid,
They got no more toy at Toys "R" Us for me to play with.
I didn't wanna grow up, I was a Toys "R" Us kid,
They were the best, but now they're a mess, I wanna flip my lid.
No bikes or trains or video games
This is the saddest feeling there is (gee whiz!)
But I had to grow up, and maybe 'cause I did,
There'll be no more Toys "R" Us kids.
R.I.P games and toys and joy.
I still wanna be a Toys "R" Us kid.
The Pinnacle yeah [*sniff*]
😢
🦒💔
But they are still in other countries like Canada
It still counts
Can u make o Toys R Us song using this as the ending:
"Toys R Us is no more, cause their closing their store, but I'll always be a Toys R Us kid."
Are you performing at the funeral?
Yes... the Funeral for Toy’s R Us. A fitting tribute
Lol ya I thing he is
😂😂😂
Mekenzi Raynor Yeah!!😂😂😂🤣
Well yes this is a funeral of toys r us 😭😭😭😭
My mom worked at the Toys R Us location in Chicago for 17 years and on Jeffery's last day, before the costume was shipped off, an employee wore the Jeffery mascot costume and they played this version while the employees took pictures with him. So thanks so much for this!
Remember stuff like Skylanders and Disney Infinity? I remember I used to go to Toys R Us early in the morning on the day each new game of the series came out before the store even opened, and when the store opened, we would go on a shopping spree and find EVERY. SINGLE. FIGURE. THAT WAS RELEASED AT THE TIME.
I don't go to Toys R Us much anymore, but I'm sad that this store that I have so many memories from is going to have to be pulled from life support sooner than expected.
Rest in peace, Toys R Us.
It's really a tragedy you have to go so close to your 70th anniversary.
"I don't wanna grow up. I'm a Toy R Us kid."
It was where I got my first Nintendo DS. :) R.i.p
Skylanders and Disney Infinity.. I’d hope that people can remember things from a few years ago 😂 What about Tamagotchi’s, Pogs, Skip-It’s, etc.? That’s when both Toys R Us & Kids R Us were extremely popular! The internet has taken over and it’s unfortunately ruining businesses.
Hahaha I was the lead tester on Skylanders, this makes me feel weird to think of that as nostalgia... but omg that was 9 years ago! lmao
I spent an inordinate amount of time browsing the Disney Infinity figures to pick the ones with the fewest defects to take home.
@@jessicatedesco819 what was your Skylanders main at the time?
Never forget the good times, “never grow up, play on!” I will always be a toys ‘R’ us kid #dontwannagrowup
This minor key version captures exactly what we're all feeling about this news.
Toys r us has come back from the dead In 2019!! My childhood is back once again 😁
NO! It was not Silly! It hit in the feels train!
Micha Cole me to
Me too
How the hell? I got the goosebumps from this jingle it's just crazy and amazing and amazingly sad. Well done!
I am in tears.
Eveℓуη me to this is sad that u get to see ur childhood gone
Me too I’m a kid think how I fell😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
That actually gave me goose bumps
Rest in spaghetti, never forgetti

We all have to grow up one day and move on from our childhood. But treasure than good times at Toys R Us and never forget never forget I know if it will be hard to get over it but over time we will we will get through like and say there's always a light at the end of the tunnel it may bring us to tear but we'll get over it. it's time to move on with life but treasure the good times
Rest In Peace Toys R US. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
It WAS the biggest toy store there WAS...... Rip (1948-2018) I’ll always try to be a toys R us kid ❤️
Damn this hit me real hard. Toys R Us was a heaven to me when I was a little kid. I remember going there every christmas and every birthday to excitedly run down my favourite isle and ask for more LPS. Even after I grew out of that, my mum and I still used to go into Toys R Us to have a look around and reminisce about everything she would have bought me if I were still little.

But I can’t even do things like that anymore. It’s kind of sad that now we have to rely on what brought this toy store down in the first place.
For those confused, Toys R Us is about to completely go out of business for good.
Why?
They’re going bankrupt. Most likely because of people buying things on places like amazon instead of going to toys r us for things.
Damn that really sucks, whenever I'd have to buy birthday or Christmas gifts, Toys R Us is the place I usually go to... Thank you for answering my question though.
Wow
Haeinscute WAIT WHAT?!
I feel so sad I was a Toys r us kid when I was younger 😭😭😭😭
This is HAUNTING 😍😍

Toys R Us is closing 1,795 stores worldwide.
This was so beautiful... I remember being an appropriately aged toys r us kid... now I'm an over aged toys r us kid(teen, but still a kid at heart), and it's sad seeing something that has so many lives involved going out of business. RIP toys r us.😔💔 (great job on the song, Chase!)
Chase!
News has it that toys r us is coming back!!
Watching in 2019 ❤❤
This actually sounds like a song I’d like to listen to all the time now.. 😐❤️
"ice nine kills" sounds soooo like this
As a toys r us worker, tomorrow, june 29, 2018 we will close our doors. My heart is broken. I really loved my job, I looked forward to work every day. This version of the song broke me down in tears. I did love it tho. Thank you
What? They're closing??? Oh man, my family used to buy doll clothes there for me when I was born, because I was too small for regular clothes.
Jekkie Fan lol
indeed, I was a very smol child.
Jekkie Fan Well ummm yeah they are...
I was listening to this again with my daughter's and we all had a great idea. It would be amazing if you made an updated version celebrating that Toys R Us is re-opening.
To bad they closed again walmart employees
It sounds so sad 😭💔 It’s almost like your childhood is slipping away and you’re realizing that you never made the most of it.
My mom worked at toys r us when I was super young and she sang this all the time until I was about 16 this kinda broke my heart haha. I have to share this with her.
i mean
he could literally make the best song ever sound depressing/creepy
He is extremely talented. Some of the things he'll typically do to make it haunting and sad is changing it to a minor key (changing a few specific notes to a half step down), as well as singing it in a slower tempo and with more of an emphasis on feeling.

WHERE CAN I FIND THE INSTRUMENTAL!?!?!??!
THIS IS BEAUTIFUL!~♡
Keep up the good work 😊👍
RIP

I NEVER BEEN TO TOYS R US FOR 10 OR 11 YEARS!!!!AND I NOW CAN'T GO THERE ANYMORE 😭😭😭😭
I SAW YOU ON THE NEWS
THIS VIDEO WAS PLAYING ON THE NEWS!!!!!
Dude, that was beautiful, I'm seriously going to miss Toys R Us. It wasn't just a toy section, it was the greatest toy store known to humanity. Rest in Peace Toys R Us. 😞
I’m gonna cryyyyy this was my childhood you put the emotion into it very well even if we all might be considered silly for being upset
I'll never forget the toys I bought here.
Rest in peace Toys r Us.
Chase back at it again :) never get sick of hearing your voice!!
“Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened.”

You should still do a minor key of Angel with a Shotgun by The Cab
(P.S., this is so sad... I can't believe Toys R us is gone)
OMG THATS MY FAV SONG YESSSSSSSSSS PLEASE
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASEE!!!!!
I FULL ON AGREE WITH THIS REQUEST CHASE PLEASEEEEE
QUICK SOMEBODY SIGN UP FOR THE PATREON PACKAGE WHERE YOU CAN REQUEST SONGS!!! I couldn't afford that one😭😭
Yes please. This is an amazing song.
Cries in "Hey there Delilah playing at a empty Toys R Us at 2:30 in the afternoon with mild traffic outside"
My childhood memories now gone loved going to toys r us with my son to relive the kid at heart in me.
Ahhh. The soothing melody of a company dying. IM SO SAD
Love this! Wish it wasn’t so that Toys R Us was closing.
2018:rip toys r us
2019:were coming back b@#$
We won’t even get to take our future kids there
They should make a documentary on it as a memory
I helped close down our store here in Layton Utah 5 years ago when you first released this. My boyfriend at the time sent me this on what he did not know was the last day that our store was going to be open. I opened his text and saw your video while getting ready for work. Oh my God I cried
As not only a 90s kid, a kid at heart, AND a Toys R Us kid, I've shed a tear or two watching this video.
I can't take it anymore when my mom told me toys are US is shutting down I was sad but I didn't cry because toys are US has always been there but then when I stared watching there 80s commercials I couldn't stop crying I'm literally crying right now as I'm writing this and I can't stop crying I don't know what to do nothing can replace TOYS ARE US!!!!!!😭😭😭😭😭😭😵😵😵😣😣😢😢😢
that was dope as hell. you murdered that
I keep coming back to this amazing job !! it hits hard !!
I was so curious when I saw this pop up in my notifications XD
2007-2018
I didn't get to experience the joy that was Toys R Us for long, but it will always hold a special place in my heart. I lived for their Thomas the Train setup, their Pokémon events, and their birthday club. I loved their little events they had, and all the demos. Even if I couldn't buy anything because I was (and still am) a broke fish, I'd just walk around the aisles aimlessly forever, looking at all the things I'd totally buy one day.
I still have my last birthday sticker on my wall, and have a Geoffrey plushie in my basement.
I will always be a Toys R Us kid.
Utterly beautiful, you've taken the words out of everyone's breath! Keep up the amazing work!
Toy 'R' Us still lives in Canada!
Ohhhhh you lucky lucky lucky dog
HOORAY!!!
Yes!
Thank god.
*buys plane tickets to Canada* Mom pack your stuff we're moving to Canada
RIP Toys R Us and Geoffrey the Giraffe U will be missed
Is anyone else remembering ur memories there and sad u can’t go back
We won’t even get toys r us birthday gift cards and advantages anymore (which gives us teens the excuse to go back😥😥😥
This is amazing. I never thought a big box store going out of business could make me sad
Im crying as I write this. Damn you Mitt Romney!!
You want to kill Romney too?
I hate you to
RIP my childhood memories 2018 😭☠
Shook with tears
RIP my childhood
Yep. I was sad when I heard the news. We went there rarely when I was a kid but it was amazing when we did. I was always so overwhelmed by all the toys. Even as an adult I thought it was a great store and wished I could go more. Sadly there were none in our area or we would have. :(
I’m so confused but I’m digging it 😂🤷🏼♀️
Toys R Us (a well-known toy store company) is shutting down for good
A Basket Full Of Trash I know that. I was just kinda co fused as why he chose it but I understand that. Lol
I think it was to honor their "death" or something like that... The jingle was really catchy, too. If you haven't heard it, I suggest looking it up
“Magical Place” - another well known Toys R Us jingle, will really get you emotional...
Good bye toys R us ferwell😭😭😭
Am I the only one that hears the minor key version and proceeds to make a story for the music?
kaitlyn anders Memememememe. I was thinking of like a little boy just hanging out @ toys R us, and as the song goes on, you see the boy slowly getting older and then walk out of the store all grown up. I just can’t make it because I don’t have talent😂
kaitlyn anders nope,I did that,too.
I go there on desired days in Charlottesville. I sometimes play demos of games on the 3DS, sometimes cruise on a Y-Flicker scooter, but one time, I literally met Geoffrey.
This is creepy but awesome. 😂
Haeinscute it rlly is xD
It’s actually just sad tbh ☹️
His singing is awesome, not the fact that Toys R Us is closing
Haeinscute WTF
niomi 543 I need a little more to know how to respond to that
Walked into toys r us, I could just stand and watch all my favorite childhood memories fade away from me.... R.I.P. toys r us
Toys "r" Us...go gentle into that good night.
"My childhood memories are no longer there."
Goodbye my sweet childhood...
Lol how is this only 14k. This is epic every time I hear it. I moved hack to my home town and I pass by where ours used to be. I remember all those wonderful years as a 90's kid and I am reminded of this. Ty again for this.
Oh my lord
WaIT
Was I like the only one who never went (':
Edit, And yes I am old enough to go lol, Just never got the chance (':
I never went either.. I feel like I missed out on something fun
You guys didn't really miss anything. I went to one a few months ago, it was sad, the very floor reminded me of a Kamart I used to have in town (it closed in Sept. 2017). They were both old, lonely and bankrupt. >~< And the service I got at check out sucked. :D But I remember it looking a lot nicer when I was a kid.
ShadowDragon No I haven't gone either
I have never went. Your not alone.
Naw. Didnt have one in my town or anywhere nearby.
Listening to this after it opened back up makes it less sad.
I'm confused but also intrigued...
toys r us is shutting down for good
Rip toys r us miss you already❤❤❤ this song makes me sad and still makes me cry now! I live in the uk 🇬🇧 london and this song is just pure crystal boom vine!
