I had 4 cubic yards of topsoil dropped off in my driveway today, and have wheelbarrowed about a third of it to its new home; I've had 16 Tons going through my head and need some new laboring tunes to hum tomorrow - gimme some ideas, friends!
" Where There's a Whip, There's a Way! " Naw just kiddng - sucky song but great lyrics! How about some punk rock? Ramones? Sex Pistols? Something with a beat! Something to make you superhuman! Happy shovelling! G
How about something you hate? Makes ya work faster but puts you in a BAD mood? That was a stupid idea. Better go to sleep........
Spooky - I just picked up Ramonesmania on Sire today - got "rock, rock, Rockaway Beach" buzzing through my brain now!
Digging in the Dirt--Peter Gabriel Dig--The Who (from Townshend's Iron Man album) They'll Need a Crane--They Might Be Giants Soily--Paul McCartney/Wings Dig It--Beatles Journey to the Center of the Earth--Rick Wakeman (just how deep are you digging?) There's a Hole in My Heart (All the Way to China)--Cyndi Lauper Shovel Off to Buffalo (OK, sorry about that one...)
Different tool but "The Legend Of John Henrys' Hammer" by Johnny Cash... Sweat boy sweat you owe me two more swings!
Dirty Work by The Rolling Stones Touch Me by The Doors (last line...stronger than DIRT!) Sowing The Seeds Of Love by Tears For Fears HI-HO, HI-HO (Seven Dwarfs)...."we DIG,DIG,DIG,DIG,DIG,DIG,DIG in our mine the whole day through..." Hopefully, it won't "rain" or you'll be singing some MUDDY WATERS songs! ...MUDDY for nuthin' and chicks for free (Dire Straits)...oops! sorry 'bout that one!
Rock! Rock! (till ya drop): Def leppard Highway To Hell: AC/DC Movin' On: Bad Co. These 3 should get ya movin' Indy Mike!
Grrrrr, it rained so add rainy songs, too! I did throw a tarp over the heap last night so I'm not sloshin' mud around (insert Muddy Waters/gettin' yer hands dirty jokes as you will)......
Hey Mike, Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head. The Sky Is Cryin' - SRV Feel's Like Rain - Buddy Guy Then there's one to perk you up! Everbody's Workin' For The Weekend - Loverboy.

And of course we can't forget what happens as you first go down to your driveway to shovel on Sat. morning. Wipeout!- The Safaris
Progress report - the missus and I got about 3/4 of the dirt moved - yeah!!!! Time for a Sam Adams Pale Ale and about 6 pounds of steak (rib eyes, medium rare sound tasty)... Then, I'll crank up a few tunes from your lists!
