OK, I'm thinking of making a comp with the title "My Job Sucks." But I'm having trouble coming up with songs for it. Got any ideas? So far I have,
Wrong - Archers of Loaf
Slack Mofo - Superchunk
Career Opportunities - The Clash
Godd*amn Job or Unsatisfied - Replacements
Work - Blue Orchids
We Are All Prostitutes - Pop Group Will What We All Want or We Got Your Money (both by the Big Boys) work?
Will All Mod Cons by the Jam work?
Is there a more obvious song by Gang Of Four than Cheeseburger?
Would Funky Boss by the Beastie Boys work? DISCLAIMER: I may never make this comp. The comp's not for me, um, er, it's for a friend - yeah, that's it. Were you people saying "boo" or "boo-urns?"

"Do they owe us a living?"- Crass
and, at risk of stating the obvious,
"This Ain't No Picnic"- Minutemen[This message has been edited by Daley (edited 12-01-2002).] IP: Logged |

What We All Want is by Gang of Four, not the Big Boys. The Big Boys song I was thinking of is called Work, of all things, and sounds like a Gang of Four song.Daley - This Ain't No Picnic! How could I miss it? Great suggestions so far! IP: Logged |

you mean "(I Don't Wanna Work, I Just Wanna) Bang On MY Drums All Day"?I've actually got a tape with Bad Manners covering that song. "Working" by Cock Sparrer? Not exactly anti-work, but about not wanting to go to work. IP: Logged |

How about "Free Money" - Patti Smith, "Chasin' Change" - Climax Blues Band, "Canary in a Coalmine" - Police, and "Cheap Reward" -Elvis Costello: "...Lip Service--well, that's all you'll ever get from me
Well, how could you believe I'll take you seriously?
With your cheap rewards, your blackmail, and your comical rage
Just remember you'll only be the boss so long as you pay my wage..." And no, that quote isn't from "Lip Service" off of the same album. IP: Logged |
