miamisammy29 Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 When I nominated my two songs, I thought for sure MiamySammy was going to nominate "Working At The Factory" by The Kinks, so I left it for him. Ah, it just didn't come to me. Good one, though. Actually, there are a ton of Kinks songs that could be fall into the "working man" category. And thanks for the links, Edna.
