GOFF LS Monday, September 4

#1 Post by Earl the Squirrel » Mon Sep 04, 2023 5:32 am

One day down and we're movin' on...

My three Alexa sources didn't provide me with a decent playlist, so today's is courtesy of Yardbarker. With a personal addition. Yes, you heard right, today we're goin' to 11!!!!11 Why? Because it's one more than 10...

Remember, 5 points for the title, 5 for the artist and 5 for the next line, LITTLEBEAST13!

1. I ain’t working here no more
My woman done left and took all the reason
I was working for

2. Everyone's watching, to see what you will do
Everyone's looking at you, oh
Everyone's wondering, will you come out tonight

3. They offered me the office, offered me the shop
They said I'd better take anything they got
Do you wanna make tea at the BBC?

4. Tumble out of bed
And stumble to the kitchen
Pour myself a cup of ambition

5. As soon as you're born,
They make you feel small
By giving you no time instead of it all

6. Rain’s comin' down and the roof won't hold 'er
Lost my job and I feel a little older
Car won't run and our love's grown colder

7. Up every morning just to keep a job
I gotta fight my way through the hustling mob
Sounds of the city pounding in my brain

8. It's a big job just getting by with nine kids and a wife
But I've been working man damn near all my life
And I'll keep working

9. Somedays won't end ever
And somedays pass on by
I'll be working here forever
At least until I die

10. Give me a job, give me security
Give me a chance to survive
I'm just a poor soul in the unemployment line

11. Heading out to San Francisco
For the Labor Day weekend show
I got my Hush Puppies on

What's today's playlist
(nothing fancy, no trickery involved)

Huh? Oh, yeah. I do remember you saying that now. Though given how bad most of the songs were in the opener, forgoing next line points may have been a justifiable casualty...


1. I ain’t working here no more
My woman done left and took all the reason
I was working for

2. Everyone's watching, to see what you will do
Everyone's looking at you, oh
Everyone's wondering, will you come out tonight
Everyone's..... dammit! This is hard!

4. Tumble out of bed
And stumble to the kitchen
Pour myself a cup of ambition
Yawn and stretch and something else I won't get credit for...

9 to 5 - Dolly Parton


5. As soon as you're born,
They make you feel small
By giving you no time instead of it all

6. Rain’s comin' down and the roof won't hold 'er
Lost my job and I feel a little older
Car won't run and our love's grown colder

7. Up every morning just to keep a job
I gotta fight my way through the hustling mob
Sounds of the city pounding in my brain
Five O'Clock World - One of those 60's bands. The Vogues, I think. No, I don't know the next line offhand...

8. It's a big job just getting by with nine kids and a wife
But I've been working man damn near all my life
And I'll keep working

9. Somedays won't end ever
And somedays pass on by
I'll be working here forever
At least until I die

10. Give me a job, give me security

Since I'm not getting any of the bonuses, how about a Studs Terkel story? He came to our college by way of introduction to the Drama Department's production of Working. He gave a compelling presentation, and what I remember best is how he lit into Five Easy Pieces because of how the Jack Nicholson character treated the waitress character. He said that she was the hero of the movie, not Nicholson.

Earl the Squirrel
One day down and we're movin' on...

My three Alexa sources didn't provide me with a decent playlist, so today's is courtesy of Yardbarker. With a personal addition. Yes, you heard right, today we're goin' to 11!!!!11 Why? Because it's one more than 10...

Remember, 5 points for the title, 5 for the artist and 5 for the next line, LITTLEBEAST13!

1. I ain’t working here no more
My woman done left and took all the reason
I was working for

Take This Job and Shove It - Johnny Paycheck - You better not stand in my way


2. Everyone's watching, to see what you will do
Everyone's looking at you, oh
Everyone's wondering, will you come out tonight

Working for the Weekend - Loverboy - Everyone's trying to get it right, get it right


3. They offered me the office, offered me the shop
They said I'd better take anything they got
Do you wanna make tea at the BBC?

Career Opportunities - The Clash - Do you wanna be, do you really wanna be a cop?


4. Tumble out of bed
And stumble to the kitchen
Pour myself a cup of ambition

9 to 5 - Dolly Parton - And yawn and stretch and try to come to life


5. As soon as you're born,
They make you feel small
By giving you no time instead of it all

Working Class Hero - John Lennon


6. Rain’s comin' down and the roof won't hold 'er
Lost my job and I feel a little older
Car won't run and our love's grown colder

- JJ Cale - Got drunk, fell and busted my shoulder


7. Up every morning just to keep a job
I gotta fight my way through the hustling mob
Sounds of the city pounding in my brain

8. It's a big job just getting by with nine kids and a wife
But I've been working man damn near all my life
And I'll keep working

9. Somedays won't end ever
And somedays pass on by
I'll be working here forever
At least until I die

Workin for a Livin' - Huey Lewis and the News - damned if you do, damned if you don't


10. Give me a job, give me security
Give me a chance to survive
I'm just a poor soul in the unemployment line

Blue Collar Man - Styx - By God, I'm barely alive


11. Heading out to San Francisco
For the Labor Day weekend show
I got my Hush Puppies on

Come Monday - Jimmy Buffett - I guess I never was meant for glitter rock 'n' roll (Damn! I missed a prescient point by not yet posting my thoughts to the RIP thread.)
