A video of Target employees performing a musical goodbye to a “job they loved” after the remaining Canadian stores closed for good has gone viral.

The video features three employees in a Victoria, B.C. Target performing Semisonic’s “Closing Time” as two co-workers pull them through the empty aisles of the store on a merchandise trolley.

Evan Holbein said in a Facebook post that staff were trying to find a way to say their “final goodbye” when they decided to play the 1998 hit song over the PA.

A few days later, they took their tribute to the next level, recording a music video using only a guitar, a shopping basket as makeshift drums, and a hanger bar as a “faux mic.”

“We poured our heart into our final goodbye through song, to a job we loved, and a building that contains so many great memories!” Holbein wrote.

The video was shot in one take, and with no rehearsal, Holbein said.

The video, which was posted to Facebook on April 12, had received nearly 205,000 views as of Tuesday afternoon:
 

 
Semisonic - Closing Time (Target Edition)

"A little musical send off, with what we had available."----------------------------------------------------------------------------------Seeing as this has gone viral I feel as though I should update this description to provide a little more detail. Our final day was closing in, we were discussing how to close out the store and had no ideas. We decided that we would play the song "Closing Time" by Semisonic over the P.A system, but Kyle decided to take it one step further and taught himself how to play it on the guitar. We were discussing it again a few days later and he mentioned that he had his guitar in his car and had learned the song. So we printed off the lyrics (that Liam M didn't even know 20 minutes prior to recording this) and began putting the pieces together, with this being our result.In one take, and no practice, we took to our make shift instruments. I sat and played a shopping basket with two plastic hangers, Liam M grabbed a hanger bar to use as a faux-mic, and Eric mounted up his camera and masterfully filmed and edited this bad boy. With Brady and Liam K (Skipper) pulling us along, we poured our heart into our final goodbye through song, to a job we loved, and a building that contains so many great memories!Enjoy!
