MOTO- 'i hate my fucking job'
The Goons - 'Everyday'
The Queers - "I Don't Wanna Work'
The Tearjerkers - "White Slave"
The Ramones - "It's Not My Place (In the 9 to 5 World)"
Screeching Weasel - "Work"
Any suggestions? this is an open call for work-stinks songs. I also hate everybody that i work with, so the more annoying the better, cuz im a boombox nazi when im there.
Also, I was at a party a week ago where a Journey DVD was playing. They stink. BUT, that stupid fat black guy from AMERICAN IDOL- which i DONT watch so why the fuck do i know who he is? - was their bass player. though he was even fatter and uglier then, he wore the coolest clothes of all time and pulled it off. Really tight spandex and words written all over his leather jacket and pants. thoughts?

That's so funny because I just wrote this post about May '68; probably the most famous of they slogans was "don't ever work" and I was writing about how play can be productive, but I didn't put two and two together.
I think that Daniel Johnston song "Big Business Monkey" is a pretty good anti-work song. I mean, he doesn't really beat around the bush when he says to his boss, "Everything you cling to will rot and everything you do will be forgot..." It's much more of an effective threat than just being like "I'm gonna kick your ass" or something because he's saying that the boss is going to feel bad about himself, not really really bad, but pretty bad for a long time, and things aren't going to get better. It's not a threat; it's not like Johnston had to act to torture his boss this way, it's just an inevitable and righteous consequence of his boss holding hands with satan.
Alan Lomax recorded a disk called "Negro Work Songs and Calls" for the Library of Congress. When the hammers get swinging it sounds uncannily similar to Einsterzende Neubauten. But, I mean, honestly, I don't say this lightly, so much better.
Nothing livens up the work day like forcing people to simultaneously confront institutional racism, class oppression, avant garde music, and lo-fi recording technology.
yeah that is a good cd....didnt you steal that from me? maybe not....anyway....i think you are forgetting "take this job and shove it" dead kennedys and "i hate work" by millions of dead cops.
i think since hating work is a universal truth, when you get this mix to the length of a cd you should zip it up and upload it so that everybody can get a taste.
Huey Lewis and the News - "Couple Days Off"
Roy Orbison - "Working for the Man"
Morbid Angel - "Hatework"
Warren Zevon - "The Factory"
los microwaves - time to get up
art style - factory life
ruins - fire
doppler effect - time is running out
(last two are maybe more raw existential angst/terror...ruins are also the italian band, not the better-known japanese one)
oh, and someone post up that 'negro work songs and calls' thing!!
I didn't steal it from you, jerkface.
I'm pretty sure if you want to make a really good work mix the best song for it is probly "Hi ho" by The Dwarves. The Seven Dwarves.
i think if you really want to be obnoxious you could listen to kazumoto endo and say that your stereo is broken.
