Yeah, those songs aren't right because they're all about how shitty work is.
That's not the attitude you want to take into an interview.
Maybe "Comfortably Numb" is something you'd aspire to in a job.
Gwen: Demon, OK? The whole nine—cloven feet and horns and teeth. He wasn't wearing lamé though. Lorne: Yeah, the evil ones can't pull it off. It gets camp.

Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Maybe put your job in the larger context of your life.
Like The Godfathers' "Birth School Work Death."

See, "Valhalla I am coming!" is the perfect interview lyric!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I might use:
Pat Benatar, "All Fired Up"
Queen, "We Will Rock You/We Are The Champions"
Robbie Williams, "Let Me Entertain You"
Possibly also Eminem's "Lose Yourself", depending on one's level of desperation.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
It turns out that I only have the live version of "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger" (sent to b-rawk). Does anyone have the studio version?

I do. I'll send it on.

I have a few more to suggest:
Carter Family - "Working On A Building" (I also have a pretty killer Tav Falco version)
Abner Jay - "Hard Workin' Man"
Palace - "Work Hard/Play Hard"
Sally Crewe - "Got A Car/Got A Job"
and, of course
Blue Oyster Cult - "Career of Evil"

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Thanks!
