Well, for a long time it was Joe Jackson's "On Your Radio": great little revenge song about proving all of your doubters wrong. Now, I guess it's, I dunno, "Straight, No Chaser".

"Ain't That A Bitch" by Johnny 'Guitar' Watson.

"I'm workin' 40 hours, six long days
And I'm highly embarrassed ev'rytime I get my pay
And they're workin' everybody
Lord, they're workin' poor folks to death
And when you pay your rent and your car
note, you ain't got a damn thing left."

JP / March 15, 2010 11:05 AM
