Worst Slowlane songs

[andyhaus44]

Hi everyone,

As Fastlaners, I’m sure that most of you don’t even know if your radio even works but as I am getting ready to switch lanes from the Slowlane to be Fastlane, I unfortunately constantly hear Slowlane music at the office and am not sure wether to laugh or cringe at the horrific Slowlane songs that play on Pandora.

The worst Slowlane song I’ve heard lately is Say Amen (Saturday night) by Panic! At The Disco. This awful song screams Slowlane sludge, giving praise to the “glorified” weekend and horrible 5 for 2 trade. Can I get an amen!?

What Slowlane song gets under your skin the most?

Longinus,
Thanks for sharing. Isn’t it interesting how Life in the Fastlane by Joe Walsh is a feel good song while Sidewalks by Story of Year is a total downer?

@Longinus - haha, kind of reminds me a lot of this oldie:

This isn't a Slowlane song, but this one sings about how awful work life is. I have always resonated with it. It's a great listen, and a great motivator, too.

Saturday is your only highlight
When you go out and live the highlife
Meeting up with other people
Your interaction with the weak and feable
Atleast when all is said and done
You wouldn't be the only one
To be a slave to the modern wage
Your crappy weekend is your only escape

The Weekend by Michael Gray oozes the script.

I'm working, all week long
I dream the days away
I wanna, sing my song
So let the music play
I have to get my kicks, and fly tonight
And when the clock strikes six
On Friday night
I need to blow it all away
I can't wait
For the weekend to begin

When I think of the Slowlane, I think of this song:

Give me a job, give me security
Give me a chance to survive
I'm just a poor soul in the unemployment line
My God, I'm hardly alive
My mother and father, my wife and my friends
I see them laugh at my face
But I've got the power, and I've got the will
I'm not a charity case

I'll take those long nights, impossible odds
Keeping my eye to the keyhole
If it takes all that to be just what I am
I'm gonna be a blue collar man

Make me anoffer that I can't refuse
Make me respectable, man
This is my last time in the unemployment line
So like it or not, I'll take those

Long nights, impossible odds
Keeping my back to the wall
If it takes all that to be just what I am
I'm gonna be a blue collar man

Keeping my mind on a better life
Where happiness is only a heartbeat away
Paradise, can it be all I heard it was
I close my eyes and maybe I'm already there

Ooh yeah

I'll take those long nights, impossible odds
Keeping my back to the wall
All that to be just what I am
I'm gonna be a blue collar man

Do do do... You don't understand.

I'll take those long nights, impossible odds
Keeping my eye to the keyhole
If it takes all that to be just what I am
I'm gonna be a blue collar
Gotta be a blue collar
Gonna be a blue collar man

Alright!
Believe it

You've got a fast car
I've got a plan to get us outta here
I've been working at the convenience store
Managed to save just a little bit of money
We won't have to drive too far
Just across the border and into the city
You and I can both get jobs
Finally see what it means to be living
