Bang the drum all day – Todd Rundgren (1982) d229
Isn’t it odd that many of us get to take Labor Day as a holiday? Here’s a song for those who had to work yesterday, or are working again today.
Dirty work – Steely Dan (1972) d228
Wherein we honor Walter Becker and Labor Day together I’m a fool to do your dirty work, Oh yeah. I don’t want to do your dirty work, No more. I’m a fool to do your dirty work, Oh yeah.
