Labor Day weekend is upon us already, the occasion that by long tradition marks the end of summer. That seemed fast, yes? But as long as we're here, I think we should try to relax and enjoy the holiday as we were intended to do.
I thought it would be fun to put together a playlist in honor of Labor Day. It was easier than I expected. Below are my Top Ten Labor Day songs:
- Chain Gang - Sam Cooke
- Working in the Coal Mine - Devo (1981)
- I've Been Working On The Railroad - Johnny Cash
- 9 to 5 - Dolly Parton
- Workin' for a Livin' - Huey Lewis & The News
- Five O'clock World - The Vogues
- Uptown - The Crystals
- Drill Ye Tarriers Drill - Tommy Maken & Liam Clancy
- Work to Do - The Isley Brothers
- Let's Work - Mick Jagger
No doubt there are plenty more. You could put your own playlist together--but don't work too hard. Then kick back, pop a cold one, and celebrate the hard-working American's designated day off.
