One moment you could be working, making coffee in the pantry, sharing
pleasantries in the toilets or just waiting for that printout to appear...
and the next thing you know your boss wants to have a chat, just to tell you
the dreaded 2 words - you're fired.
And these might be some of the songs you can play while putting your worldly
belongings in that cardboard box:
They might be giants - "boss of me"
Ben Folds - "fred jones part 2"
[song about a newspaper man who loses his job:Twenty-five years he’s worked
at the paper / A man’s here to take him downstairs / And I’m sorry, Mr.
Jones, it’s time.” No party, no parting, just a box of belongings and an
escort out of the building]
Sade - "feel no pain"
...and for hope
Peter Gabriel & Kate Bush - "don't give up"
Des'ree - "you gotta be"
[still good...MTV's version sounds different from the record's]
Hit Reply All and let us know what songs you thought of when your employment
got terminated.
DAMIAN:
Now that I have a bit more time on my hands, I can actually contribute to this week's theme!
First up, is this pleasant little ditty from the Fun Boy Three:

Enjoy

An ageing Doc Neesen and The Angels. Sing along, it's therapeutic:
and when they were younger.
Couple more and I'm done.
The Bard of Barking
And the legendary Bill Hicks

TOM:
ray charles - hit the road jack
not a song as such but makes about as much sense as last friday
vic and bob - realigning the planets
onward!
FARAH:
It may seem like this is the only song I ever have to post on this group, but it's the chorus, people, the chorus!
So what, I'm still a rock star, I've got my rock moves and I don't need you
And guess what, I'm having more fun and now that we're done, I'm gonna show you tonight
I'm all right, I'm just fine and you're a fool...
