Laying up masonry in the winter. Digging trenches in the rain. Installing a roof in the worst heat of summer. Construction isn't easy but those in the industry find ways to get the job done. In honor of that work, and for a little bit of fun, we compiled a list of ten songs that we think represent this work ethic:
10. “Working in the Highway,” Bruce Springsteen
9. “Blue Collar Man,” Styx
8. “I’ve Been Working,” Van Morrison
7. “Workin’for a Livin,” Huey Lewis and the News
6. “Finest Worksong,” R.E.M.
5. Working Class Hero,” John Lennon
4. A Hard Day’s Night,” The Beatles
3. “Takin’ Care of Business,” BTO
2. Just Got Paid,” ZZ Top
1. “Working Man” Rush
Ok, so they are not really “construction songs” but you get the idea. What do you think? Tell us what would you add to the list? We look forward to hearing from you.
