Whether you work at a desk or at a job site, a little music can make the day go by faster. To help you out, we created a list of songs that your team will agree are perfect for the construction site. (Because nothing is worse than when the project engineer hogs the radio and refuses to play anything but NPR.)
Note: We are not responsible for “accidents” that arise as a result of off-key singing.
Little known fact: this song is really about the construction industry.
Get ready to funk someone up if they don’t like this song. It’s perfect to stave off that mid-day, 2 p.m. sluggish feeling. If impromptu dance sessions break out, don’t blame us.
Strong Man was born in the USA, and is proud of it. Tell your guys you’re going to “show them who’s boss” before you play this one.
Say what you will about Dolly Parton’s hairdo, “9 to 5” is a classic. Whether you like the song or not, we double dog dare you not to sing along.
This song was built upon regrettable outfit choices, poor lyrics…and Abraham Lincoln? It’s a music video that’s eclectic—even for the ‘80s. But it’s catchy for about the first five seconds. Warning: if you’re the one who presses play, make sure you’re wearing a hard hat in case someone’s hammer “slips.”
This one goes out to all the women in the industry. We’ll politely ignore this song’s allusion to ladies of the night, and focus on the ladies who work at all hours of the day as builders, contractors, engineers and architects. Represent.
The minute you and your team finish up that next big project, throw this classic hit over the speakers and call it a day.
One of your favorites didn’t make the list? Tell us what your favorite song to listen to on the job is. We’ll add it in.
