Ah so, Therese. You're switching from lead-off to clean-up with the new schedule. Jumping to the opposite corner of the grid. I hope that all works out well.

I don't want to go on record endorsing Huey Lewis, but there is "Workin' for a Livin'"...

zenkoan:

Would also genuinely love to hear "She Works Hard For Her Money" by the immortal Donna Summer, if the labor theme is continuing....
  12:44am
JakeGould:

Didn’t Lee Dorsey own a car place? Like a repair or oil/lube place? That seems like a decent job.
  12:47am
P-90:

Lee Dorsey: another of those underrated artists. And did he really wind up with a car dealership? Or was it someone with a similar name?
  12:48am
JakeGould:

“He retired from boxing in 1955 and returned to New Orleans, where he opened an auto repair business as well as singing in clubs at night.” en.wikipedia.org...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:49am
mariano:

Lee Dorsey was/is a pretty big name in the New Orleans music scene, "Give It Up" is one of my all-time faves. Didn't know about the car place though, cool bit of trivia! Hey, what about Dolly Parton's "9 to 5"?

Was about to say, we need more positive songs about workplace sexual harassment ;) (Kidding, not being a scold!).
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 12:56am
Ken From Hyde Park:

I'm guessing there are enough Johnny Cash songs to fill out an entire set with this theme.

I once was let go from a summer job and as I exited the manger’s office, Ray Charle’s “Hit the Road Jack” came on. Thanks CBS-FM!

Morrissey was once looking for a job and then he found a job. Was that connected to the Mr. Shankly situation? Or was that the Christmas cards for the mentally ill situation.

There's an actual legal periodical that labor lawyer's used to get called "The Black Lung Reporter"

There are many work-themed songs that, if I were to suggest them here, would bring the wrath of the 'FMU Gods down upon me. Might even be forced to turn in my t-shirt and stickers!

BrassKnuckles:

Sweet. I don't think I've ever heard Pavement played on this station which is kind of weird.

Pavement gets played on WFMU. Also, *cough* “Forklift” *cough*
