Get a Job (Sha na na na)

At the request of my brothers, I give you the beginnings of the job hunting playlist, which is appropriate, because in the middle of writing this I GOT A JOB! Most of these were actually suggested by Clark and Treb, (you'll probably be able to tell that these aren't all from my library) so I'm just facilitating their posting as a whole. Here we go.

• "16 Tons" - Lots of people did this, but my favorite version is the one from Joe Versus the Volcano. imdb.com tells me that this is Eric Burdon, despite the copy in my iTunes being misfiled. Tennessee Ernie Ford's version is good too - it's probably blasphemy for me not to put it first, but the Joe version gives you the imagery of all of those people going to the rectal probe factory, and you just can't beat that.

Meanwhile, I will now be working with Amanda at Five Star Painting in Springville. Three cheers for a wonderful roommate who put my name in as soon as a position opened up! I start tomorrow, and I'm all kinds of glad that I'll have somewhere to go now that the applications are pretty much done. I was about to get really depressingly bored. :)
