"It's a rich man's game/ no matter what you call it/ and you spend your life/ puttin money in his wallet!" OUCH! >:)
Feedback:
Some great songs here, the idea is good too. I guess Dead Kennedys' "At my job" would fit well too.
also how bout "take this job & shove it" by johnny paycheck.anyway hey this rules
Last summer I listened to Welcome to the Working Week on the way to my job everyday, and it's a perfect fit for this mix. Great song... "I know it don't thrill you, I hope it don't kill you" captures it all. The Rundgren pick is great too. Awesome mix
This looks like more fun than most jobs I've had! DK's version of "Take This Job & Shove It" and Pete Townshend's "Keep On Working" would fit too. Cudos for having the guts to put that Sheena Easton song on here ;-)
If you want to go a little farther back, "Sixteen Tons" by Tennessee Ernie Ford and "Work Song" Cannonball Adderly would fit nicely.
As it just so happens I took a gander at this mix with 5 minutes left in my shift in a crappy Friday. Well said my friend, damn the man!
Cheers!
