Thank You!

Friday's FourPlay At 4 theme was Working songs. I thought I'd post some of your suggestions here.

rush - working man

The song that started the career for the Canadian trio. Man, Neil Peart is missed, eh?!

johnny cash - one piece at a time

I love this song. I think I laugh every time when he mentions driving that debacle down the road after it was finished. LOL

todd rundgren - bang on the drum

Yeah, this song may not be in everyone's wheelhouse, but it's a classic!

ted nugent - workin' hard, playin' hard

Great song....classic Ted!

johnny paycheck - take this job and shove it

Let's face it, everyone has wished to say this to their boss at one point or another.

loverboy - working for the weekend

I'm not a fan, but it has cowbell so I guess it can't be all bad, right?!

john lennon - working class hero

Originally done by John Lennon, it's been covered by Ozzy Osbourne and Green Day.

pop evil -work

This song captures the working vibe.

The Kings - This Beat Goes On/Switchin' to Glide

This song takes me back to when I was a kid and the local station would play it on Fridays. Again, maybe out of some of your wheelhouses, but a classic for sure. "Nothing matters but the weekend"

bob seger - feel like a number

A classic from the Motor City's own.

skid row - slave to the grind

I saved the best for last. I LOVE this song!! IMO, maybe one the best from the boys. Crank it!
