I had an interview a couple of days ago and got the stadard rejection letter in my email. I was moping around a bit when an old song came to mind.
Take This Job and Shove It...by Johnny Paycheck This got me thinking of other job songs ... Working 9 to 5, by Dolly Parton, Chain Gang by Sam Cooke. Can you name any work songs? |

real oldie-- "16 tons"
You load sixteen tons, what do you get Another day older and deeper in debt Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go I owe my soul to the company store or.... "These boots are made for Walkin'" could be seen as a quitting song These boots are made for walking, and that's just what they'll do one of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you. |

Upper Big Branch Disaster (Poor Miner's Farewell) I think this was a Dylan song. Here's a cover.
Then there's another song about mining that I remeber from the 90's I can't think of the band but it was a 90's song. Saving the Blue Sky Mind." Lots of labour songs if you go back to the 30's and 40's and early union organizing days. There's the classic "Solidarity forever" I know it's now kind of linked with socialism but it started out as a union song and if you listen to the full lyrics you'll see it's about working conditions. Then there's a women's union organizing song I think from the early 1900's - 1920's. "We need roses too" splitimage
