This video features an episode from The Wonderful Grand Band's phenomenal hit CBC TV series of the early 1980s which changed the face of Newfoundland culture and garnered a cult audience across Canada. The Wonderful Grand Band made up this parody song and the name of the mall. To this day, people in St. John's still refer to the Avalon Mall with its more than 140 stores and services on Kenmount Road as the Babylon Mall. Thanks for sharing. :-)

Great stuff. But it needs Edie Tapper dancing in her black-leather mini-skirt while Rick Neale and friends lie conked out in the aisle!

TOMMY! you were the best....way before your time, my darling!!!! Miss your great humour!

[gadgetgirl9]

I have the record. I dated one of them. tommy and I would dance all night at the town gay bar, I cannot remember the name. After he moved to Toronto he was never the same. He ignored his NL friends. Still I knew him well and mourned his passing. I still have a dress that I modeled at his sister;s premier fashion show. I was always front seat and center at the Strand in the Village Maill, yes b'ye was some good times, buddy.

[Sakuralee4ever]

lol, well I have only lived in town for about 8 years and it has changed a lot since then. 

[Shockwave627]

@Sakuralee4ever somebody should write a book about the mall and how it's changed over the years

[CSIS25]

@Shockwave627 I agree , that would be a really good idea, i would love to seen old pics to see how it has changed over the years

[Sakuralee4ever]

I know it's the "Babylon mall" not the Avalon mall but you can't buy a head of lettuce or an electric guitar there any more. :( Also I was in love with Tommy back in the day.
