OT: Working Songs

[meyers7]

Still got 63 days til Nov 4th per Nan's countdown calendar. So enough time for another song thread. I realize half (or more) on here are retired, but for the rest of us working stiffs, (and with Labor Day weekend upon us) a thread about songs about working. Or lack of work, or jobs or hating your job......you get the idea.

Of the ones still working here, probably most are white collar, but nobody writes about them.

Believe it or not, Ray Stevens used to sing "serious" songs. A great message to this song from the sixties.

 

[Aluminny69]

Ray Stevens' masterpiece. This is criminally underrated.

 

[Aluminny69]

Be careful what you wish for...

 

[Aluminny69]

[Aluminny69]

Fast forward to the eighties
