Songs about working hard...

Donna Summer way back in 1983 "She Works Hard for Her Money."

Workin' hard to get my fill
Everybody wants a thrill
Payin' anything to roll the dice
Just one more time

Some'll win, some will lose
Some are born to sing the blues
Whoa, the movie never ends
It goes on and on and on and on

 

[Neapolitan Ice Cream]

I love music threads, opens me up to a whole world of art! Thanks guys!

Sounds painful

Every day I work so hard
Bringin' home my hard earned pay

[citruscurtis]

Workin' hard to get my fill
Everybody wants a thrill
Payin' anything to roll the dice
Just one more time

Some'll win, some will lose
Some are born to sing the blues
Whoa, the movie never ends
It goes on and on and on and on

Interesting ... would be interesting how a public poll would categorize this song . Never studied the lyrics or associated its political anthem as a working song...off to do some research

My favorites: 9 to 5 and She Works Hard for the Money

 

[citruscurtis]

Workin' hard to get my fill
Everybody wants a thrill
Payin' anything to roll the dice
Just one more time

Some'll win, some will lose
Some are born to sing the blues
Whoa, the movie never ends
It goes on and on and on and on

Okay..missed that trivia question.... love to do a street interview about the 2 songs...so yes.. a working song

When you see this on a DVC page… it’s off to slack they go…

 

[Edenwave]

First ones that come to mind: “Hustlin’” by Rick Ross, “Till I Collapse” by Eminem, and “Harder Better Faster Stronger.” Always get me motivated when I need a push.
