Workplace songs and movies!
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
In Sunday’s ajcjobs, reporter Laura Raines compiled a suggested soundtrack for Labor Day, filled with songs inspired by work and workers.
Of course, the list cannot be comprehensive, because work — as a key part of most people’s lives — has been the subject of many songs. I remember learning my first “work song” as a child: “Heigh-Ho” by the Seven Dwarves.
Work also is a popular subject for movies and TV shows. One of my favorite work-related movies (and one that brilliantly captures the day-to-day existence in cubicle land) is “Office Space.” I also enjoy seeing movies that deal specifically with the newspaper industry — most recently, “Zodiac” — and comparing them with my experiences and those of the people around me.
Did our Labor Day soundtrack miss any of your favorite “work songs”? Are there any that resonate particularly with your job or industry? What work-inspired movies or TV shows are your favorites? (Maybe next year we’ll have a “Labor Day Movie Marathon” list in ajcjobs!)
