about
An RnB anthem about the day to day life of an office worker. The most exciting boring song you will hear this working week.
lyrics
Monday morning and I wake up at 5am,
Can’t wait to get dressed and go to work with my friends.
Eat breakfast, get my wife to help me put on a shirt,
Then I’m cruising in my car, I can’t wait to get to work
‘Cause all of my colleagues are the coolest guys,
Sit in ergonomic chairs in their suits and ties.
If working in the morning makes us feel sad,
We’ll just make a Power Point of all the fun we’re gonna have!
Yeah, yeah, yeah
A chequerboard transition.
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Embedded video.
Yeah, yeah yeah
We’ll make it stand out,
And I’ll print you off some hand-outs.
By Monday lunch I know this week is gonna be the best,
I’m eating Pret-A-Manger sandwiches at my desk.
Chicken, Avocado and a touch of lime,
And all the while I’m flicking though the Financial Times.
I know this afternoon is going well,
When my Boss tells me it’s time to fire up Excel,
And calculate the profit margins since last August,
If my job equals brilliant, then let’s all sing the chorus.
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Conditional Formatting.
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Adding in some Word-Art.
Yeah, yeah, yeah
And when it’s finished,
I will print you off a 3D pie-chart.
Compound IF statement breakdown!
IF – I’ve gotta lot of docs that need editing,
AND – It’s 5, but I haven’t done everything.
THEN – I’m staying back to get the job done,
OR – My Boss might tell my Mum.
IF – I’ve had the best day ever,
AND – I get a lift with my mate Trevor
THEN - Head back to his with some guys
We’ll keep working ‘til sunrise!
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Dan, I’m going to need those reports now.
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, OK. Just after this synth solo.
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I’m gonna send that fax by Value Added Tax,
And then I’ll email Jeff, attach a PDF.
I’ll take a conference call from here to Montreal,
Finally home by 10 and tomorrow I’ll do it again.
So, do you have those reports?
Umm, Yeah, I haven’t done them.

Awesome track! I also love the "tribute" at the end to that old D&D audio, genius! This is going to be the opener for the next session for my group.

Chicken and Waffles
by TV's Kylesupported by 5 fans who also own “Best Job Ever”
Kyle has a gift for creating earworms—catchy tunes that you just cannot get out of your head until they've achieved their purpose. (Which is? That would be telling...) At the moment I'm particularly fond of "I Don't Know Why There's a Bug in Here," which I predict within five years will dominate campfires and school buses.

by the great Luke Skisupported by 5 fans who also own “Best Job Ever”
Technically my favorite track is "You Don't Know Jack (Plan B)", because it's just a great reimagining (Some Jerk with a Camera is now officially a reimagineer). But a lot of the album is good, and the "Luke Ski Phase 2" stuff is also good, but different.
