My son's high school performed the musical "Working" a few years ago. I compiled this CD for the music for before, during the break and after the show.
1) Get A Job - The Silhouettes
2) I Got A Job - Smokey Robinson & The Miracles
3) Summertime Blues - Eddie Cochran
4) Working In A Coal Mine - Lee Dorsey
5) Sixteen Tons - Tennessee Ernie Ford
6) Morning Train (9 To 5) - Sheen Easton
7) D Train - The Washington Squares
8) Car Wash - Rose Royce
9) Keep On Working - Pete Townshend
10) Forty Hour Week (For A Livin') - Alabama
11) Takin' Care Of Business - Bachman Turner Overdrive
12) She Works Hard For The Money - Donna Summer
13) Bell Boy - The Who
14) A Hard Day's Night - The Beatles
15) Out Of Work - Gary "US" Bonds
16) Career Opportunities - The Clash
17) Door To Door - Creedence Clearwater Revival
18) Work To Do - The Isley Brothers
19) Nine To Five - Dolly Parton
20) Six Days On The Road - The Flying Burrito Brothers
21) Working For A Living - Huey Lewis & The News
22) Pocket Calculator - Kraftwerk
23) Working Day And Night - Michael Jackson
24) Take This Job.. - Johnny Paycheck
At the time I hadn't thought of the Vogues though that would have been a good song.
I couldnt find a shorter version of this video--I just wanted the first song --the first 4 minutes are Ok then as if this movie already wasnt surreal enough it gets weirder
I've always loved that Vogues tune...Mstar, that Bush video was hysterical---that was my son's theme song when he got a new drum set...
Don't know how to youtube, but my two faves were not really work songs, unless you happened to shingle a lot of roofs, like I did, for a living...I would start the day, singing "...on the roof it's peaceful as can be..." by the Drifters...At the end of the day, when I was all gloating and proud of my work, I would sing "No-no-no-no-no-no-no- body can do the Shing-a-ling like I do..." by the Human Beanz....
