Our President On Work

That explains a few things....

Another POV..

I couldnt find a shorter version of this video--I just wanted the first song --the first 4 minutes are Ok then as if this movie already wasnt surreal enough it gets weirder

I've always loved that Vogues tune...Mstar, that Bush video was hysterical---that was my son's theme song when he got a new drum set...

Don't know how to youtube, but my two faves were not really work songs, unless you happened to shingle a lot of roofs, like I did, for a living...I would start the day, singing "...on the roof it's peaceful as can be..." by the Drifters...At the end of the day, when I was all gloating and proud of my work, I would sing "No-no-no-no-no-no-no- body can do the Shing-a-ling like I do..." by the Human Beanz....
