A hundred heads must be better than one, so here goes..I'm putting together a music collection for work. I work on a ship. Need ideas for songs about workin', boats, feeling trapped, corporations and The Man, etc. It's a tongue-in-cheek endevour. No need for stuff that's "office appropriate" - it's not your typical office.
Ideas:
Sloop John B - Beach Boys
I Do It for Money - Charlie Major
I Want To Break Free - Queen
9 to 5 - Dolly Parton (obvious, but in my case it is 12 to 12!)
Pirates - Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Follow Ups:
by Simon Dupree & the Big Sound. And of course, Wreck and Workin' all Day by Gentle Giant!
