Who sings this song?

[KarenB]

DS and I are having a friendly competition to see who can figure out the artist of this song. DS says he knows, but I think he is pulling my leg!

The lyrics are.....

I don't want to work, I just want to bang on the drum all day.

Any ideas?
Karen

Todd Rundgren?

 

[CaptBear]

I believe that Todd Rundgren sung that song. I know that he wrote it.

Lyrics Bang On The Drum Todd Rundgren


I Don't Want To Work

I Just Want To Bang On The Drum All Day
I Don't Want To Play

I Just Want To Bang On The Drum All Day


Ever since I was a tiny boy
I don't want no candy
I don't need no toy
I took a stick and an old coffee can
I bang on that thing 'til I got
Blisters on my hand because

CHORUS

I Don't Want To Work

I Just Want To Bang On The Drum All Day
I Don't Want To Play

I Just Want To Bang On The Drum All Day


When I get older they think I'm a fool
The teacher told me I should stay after school
She caught me pounding on the desk with my hands
But my licks was so hot
I made the teacher wanna dance
And that's why

CHORUS


I Don't Want To Work

I Just Want To Bang On The Drum All Day
I Don't Want To Play

I Just Want To Bang On The Drum All Day


BREAK

CHORUS
I Don't Want To Work

I Just Want To Bang On The Drum All Day
I Don't Want To Play

I Just Want To Bang On The Drum All Day

Listen to this
Every day when I get home from work
I feel so frustrated
The boss is a jerk
And I get my sticks and go out to the shed
And I pound on that drum like it was the boss's head
Because

CHORUS 4X

I Don't Want To Work

I Just Want To Bang On The Drum All Day
I Don't Want To Play

I Just Want To Bang On The Drum All Day

Todd,

So, who won?

 

[KarenB]

Wow, I would have never guessed that. I was leaning towards an 80s group......even something like Village People. Do you think we are thinking about the same song?

 

[KarenB]

oh pfishgirl...yes that is it!!

I'll report my findings, thanks to all of you, to DS and take the title of the winner!

 

[TeresaMc]

Definately Todd Rungren....my local radio DJ's play it every Friday at 7am.

 

[Poohnatic]

Definitely Todd Rundgren. He's one of my DH's all time favorites, and there's one thing I can say about his music...he loves changing his sound.
