Your Labor Day Soundtrack

This is it, people - the last big hurrah of summer. The kids are dreading going back to school and whining, Grampa Joe won't put out that damn cigar and your drunk cousin Lenny just hit you in the back of the head with a water balloon filled with questionable liquid. Just remember this - if you're the one grilling the food, who's to say that the 30 second rule for a dropped burger can't hit the 2 minute marker. So what if there's an acorn in Aunt Margaret's chili dog? We've got a day off from work to CELEBRATE, dadgummit, so live it up!

You know what helps? Music. So here's some themed songs to get things rolling:
  1. "Labor Day (It's A Holiday)" - The Black Eyed Peas
  2. "At My Job" - Dead Kennedys
  3. "What Do You Do For Money Honey" - AC/DC
  4. "(I Don't Want To Work) Bang The Drum All Day" - Todd Rundgren
  5. "Minimum Wage" - They Might Be Giants
  6. "She Works Hard For The Money" - Donna Summer
  7. "Take This Job And Shove It" - David Allan Coe (or the more upbeat cover by Dead Kennedys)
  8. "Takin' Care Of Business" - Bachman Turner Overdrive
  9. "Working For The Man" - The Vandals
  10. "(Working On A) Chain Gang" - Sam Cooke

If you need more themed music, just break into anything from Workingman's Dead - that should cover it. So what else did I forget? Leave any suggestions in the coments, kids...
