- Bang The Drum All Day from The Ever Popular Tortured Artist Effect
LYRICS:
I don't want to work
I want to bang on the drum all day
I don't want to play
I just want to bang on the drum all day
Ever since I was a tiny boy
I don't want no candy
I don't need toy
I took a stick and an old coffee can
I bang on that thing 'til I got
Blisters on my hand
Because
When I get older they think I'm a fool
The teacher told me I should stay after school
She caught me pounding on the desk with my hands
But my licks were so hot
I made the teacher want to dance
And that's why
Listen to this
Every day when I get home from work
I feel so frustrated
the boss is a jerk
And I get my sticks and go out to the shed
And i pound on that drum like it was the boss's head
Because
I can bang on that drum
Hey you want to a bang at it?
I can do this all day
This video is not my property and belongs to Todd Rundgren
My 5th grade teacher (also my favorite teacher I ever had) would play this song at the end of every Friday before the bell rang. He made learning fun and made me look forward to school every weekday. R.I.P. Mr. Wagner, thank you for being the best.
he died :(
you gotta have fun at work and school. 30 years ago I was a teller manager. On Fridays after closing, I had one of my tellers sing the theme to Love Boat about 6 or 7 times in a row. He could sing too. Good times.
My schools bell on Friday is this song
Back when teachers and education were looked up too and treasured
What a cool man !!! I had Mr. Cook ; bur he didn't plat this .
I love this song and hate my job.
I love this song and love my job! 😁
I feel this comment in my soul.
Me to because I don't want to work I just want to bang on the drums all day
I love my job and this song
This is MEGA
In the 80’a the local radio station would play this at 5pm every Friday. my boss would let me leave early soI could pick my toddlers up in time for this song to come on and we would bop to it all the way home every week for a few years until we moved! My son now 41 still remembers. My daughter now 39 doesn’t,but still Love this song!!!!
Your boss loved you and your children.
Love this story
⁰000
😁😂
While listening to this with my dad he told me the same thing. .playing it at 5pm on Friday! How awesome!
Was this in Wisconsin by chance??? Same thing happened here!
"I don't wanna work, I just wanna bang on this mug all day" - Michael Scott

If you own AMC stock this song is for you!!! 😂😂😂😂
Congratulations 🌟 🌟 🌟
I grew up in the 80's San Diego CA 91X radio station would play this song every Friday morning bro you couldn't start your weekend with a better song!
Remember Jeff & Jer? They'd play it too❤
I'm 72 today...and I approve this song!!
When I was a kid, the local rock station up in PA played this every Friday afternoon. Loved it, meant it was time to go out and party and forget the world for a couple of days .
Yes I remember this! I'm near Pittsburgh. 😀
Back in 1984, WCLG-FM in Morgantown, West Virginia, would play this on Friday afternoons. I don't know how long before or after they played it. BTW, Todd Rundgren is 73 today (6-22-21). Happy birthday to him, and many more!
@@mommydaughterchannel2611 Me too!!
Bro same they played this on the quad cities radio station every Friday morning!!
@@mommydaughterchannel2611 B94!!
My oldest son when he was about four or five would get so excited when he'd hear this song. On one of the radio stations at 5:00 pm, Monday-Friday would play this. So every weekday I'd make sure that my Ian could listen to his favorite song. He's 26 now. And still likes it to this day.
92 profm would play this every friday on the Mike and Lisa Show
43 year old Ian here. Can confirm this song is liked by 2 out of 2 Ians.
@@Mendanbar
Awesome.
Todd will soon be banging on the drum all day in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Way overdue!
He never went to be in the hall of fame, he stayed home and banged the drum all day
San Diego CA radio station KGB 101.5 FM played this every single Friday morning for the 5 years I lived there. 1989-94. And probably way before and after that.
KLOS 95.5FM here in LA played this every Friday afternoon. This was when ABC still owned the station (Merulo Media is the new owner). Geno Michellini would play this.
I listen to this song yesterday on KROC-Honolulu FM 101.5 It’s 4:30am and can’t get this song out of my head! 😂
When I worked for Benton Dental Company. Julie my coworker would put this song on her radio. I loved it then. Only on Friday s.I still love it. I was 20 yrs old then. I am now 58 yrs young. Lol.❤️❤️❤️❤️
The ultimate 80s anthem. Hard to fathom a cassette tape in a Walkman turning into the Internet, wifi, digital music and instant access to classics like this.
Who doesn't listen to this and instantly feel better? At least until the song is over
Thats when you hit repeat 😈
Trump haters,their never happy,🤣🤣🤣
Often, at work. This song will pop into my head and I work harder jamming this tune in my brain haha
Great song.
I remember it as an 80's kid ☺️👍
LOVE 🤣❤🙏😀🌍🕊🖖
I came here because I don't want to work. I just want to bang on the drum all day.
Lora Rublesky lol! I just googled I don’t wanna work and I came here
@@Sevencoins7 LOL ---
ditto
I bang my drum @ work. Dashin on the Stonks as a retail cart pusher. Ever upward friends
He's still banging on the drum to this day.
reddit
He sure is
I'm actually concerned for him, he's been banging the drum for 40 years straight now
This was on the radio when I was heading into work today. Had not heard it in a minute. It is a beautiful spring day and I don't want to work. I want enjoy this weather. And, yes. Bang on a drum all day. ❤
Back in the 90's every Friday at noon, Pat Martin from 93 Rock in Sacramento would play this song. Part of his "Work force double shots" program. We would shut down the entire job site to listen in. Amazing how much it boosted job morale! Thanks Pat!!
what job was it?
Back in the 90s every friday at 5 pm, 96sto in tristate Evansville/Owensboro would play this song with a mix of the simpsons and other movies and i can't find that anywhere
Played this during our 4:20 break at work for two months before we got caught and subsequently fired. It was great while it lasted, and we all hated that place so no harm no foul or love lost, save a paycheck i mean.
Loved 93rock out of Sactown
My co-worker and I dance around the office every Friday morning to this song! Love it.
Where I worked in the 80's, the local radio station, FM 95.1 played this song every Friday at five. A coworker always got up and danced and cranked up the music. We were not as bold, she was dating the boss but we all had fun every Friday to this song. God I miss the good ole days!
TODD HASS ALWAYS BEEN A HALL OF FAMER. I KNEW IT THE FIRST TIME I HEARD HIM. CONGRATULATIONS TODD, #1 ALWAYS
When I retire... I will blast this song as I leave... and dance in the parking lot. 😂
I think that is a Great Idea
And you will be a legend!!
Retirement 😂
@@EADAMS_HA vibe killer 👎
Go for it Maria!!!
If this song doesn't make you feel good, you have no soul.
I have a soul but my body is laying on the road being run over by a truck. Does that still count?
It makes me feel good. :)
..... Because it's been torn out by the job
Amen 🙏🙏😀😀🕊🇨🇦❤🌍🤣🕊
personally, electro-tinged ska doesn't make me feel good, but this is a slacker's masterpiece
My dad and I would listen to this EVERY Friday, even though I was in elementary school. I still, DO NOT WANNA WORK
2 week to retirement! Love this song even more!! 😁👍🌿
I used to play this every Monday morning before I retired. Now I play it every day that I have retired.
Right?😂😂❤❤🙏🙏🙏😀
0:22 Todd: "Everybody now!"
Todd, Todd and Todd: "I don't want to work..."
I'm retired and I still love this song!
I'm retarded...meee tooo!)))
This is my retirement theme song.
This is a funny song. It's so "un-Todd". I love it. They love to play it at sporting events.
Celebrating a snow day by blasting this
Erica Wow Buffalo, NY is called ( SNOW CAPITAL OF USA ). 1977 Blizzard it snowed every day in December & January for a total of 16 feet. City & Schools closed for 3 weeks. People really hated us. There was a Quote people were afraid of us like people were afraid of movie JAWS. Its true Lake Erie dumps 10-12 feet every winter. Buffalo is just an unlucky City losing 4 Superbowls & all that snow. No wonder Bills fans are crazy we get to Tailgate 4 hours before the game. People drinking Alcohol at 9am. Buffalo has a big IRISH POPULATION maybe thats why. THIS IS TRUE ALWAYS WHITE CHRISTMAS IN BUFFALO.
@@jimogrady1131 cool story, all in all uts just another brick in the wall. Didn't miss much those 3 weeks.
Damn, all the years of hearing this tune I never knew Todd Rundgren did it! I just found out he did while watching his Rock n Roll HOF induction!
Sean, me too! I had no idea that Todd Rundgren sang it! I love this song!
It was several years for me also. It wasn't something you would expect from him.
Aye. I always thought it was The Kinks.
On the day of my retirement, I am going to be blasting this song ALL DAY!. :-D
Retirement 😂
Got bored so finding random songs! Magnum P.I. brought me here "Higgins ringtone for Magnum" Have a nice day.
Ditto jajaja
Too funny
That's not magnum p.i. it's crap
This song has been stuck in my head for some reason, I’ve never actively listened to this song in my life
My step dad woke me up to this this morning. I am deeply frustrated, but it's annoyingly catchy
I used to wake my step daughter to this song every Saturday. Your reaction is the same as hers. 😇
Lol
You gotta cool step-dad!!
LOVE 🤣🤣🤣🤣🙏🙏😀😀❤🤣🤣🤣
Hi to your Step Dad!😂😂❤❤❤
I have a great memory of going to to see Todd with my son and his Mom . The show was in Oakland on a Saturday ,kind of a matinee. Every body got up and danced . Todd brought up kids from the audience ,and there was my 10 year old banging on the drum with Todd . How great is that ?
Lucky kid you have there ! 🎵
Great song. Great bass. Great organ. Great everything else. Even great drums.
I worked in a clothing shipping department, and it would play on the radio on Fridays, everyone would join in on it. Love it. great memory
My son doesn't want to work tomorrow... naturally I played this for him 😊
How to give bears fans ptsd
Lions fans as well
A cold chill runs through a Vikings fan's veins when this songs plays.
Ok true.....but fuck off anyway!!
Hack to scratch golf exactly what I was thinking. But I hear Aaron Rodgers wants out of Green Bay now
Colts used it during the Super Bowl season in 2006, which meant it was played in Miami when they scored TDs......against the Bears. I bet Rex Grossman still hates this song with a passion as he heard it after Pick 6's.
For years I incorrectly thought this song was Talking Heads.
Yeah i definitely did not hear this as Todd lol glad I know now!
Me too! And I’m an 80’s graduate. Shame on us! Lol!
i can certainly understand that
Me too
Psycho worker
Greatest song ever written.
I'm a bassist, drummers make the world go round!
Absolutely
3:30pm December 25 2021 Browns at Packers... Merry Christmas! Go Pack Go!!!
I don't want to do anything except play this song all day!
Listened to this song every Friday after work! WMMS in Cleveland Ohio!
A good song for a Friday or the last day before a long weekend.
Or the last day of summer
POV: you just watched Sam Hubbard save the bengals season w a 98 yard fumble for a touchdown and this song comes on for the 100th time this season
Just played this for my son on the way to drumline practice. First smile out of him today.
I like to listen to this song while doing homework.
Same
best bass solo ever. Something I am striving for as a new bass player.
Packers Football games in every time they scored a Touchdown and they jumped to their Fans in Lambeau Field
Lambo is such a dump.
@@atheismisamentaldisorder1839 sound like a real fib
@@josephharold808 The truth hurts
@@atheismisamentaldisorder1839 I can't help that you're projecting.
@@josephharold808 I'm projecting that lambo is a dump? Did you even think that one out? LoL
Typical packer fan... Not too bright...
I hear this song in the 80‘s every Friday morning around 9 on AFN in Frankfurt/Germany I love this Song
This is my favorite song because I play this song after work.
The Packers just score Hell yea
Hell yeah go pack
I like to dedicate Todd Rundgren's Bang My Drum All Day to my brother because his birthday is on Thanksgiving in 2023! I do love to fun with numbers because he's turning 55 on 11/23/23! I hope his playing his drums to mark the occasion for sure in my mind!
This song is a metaphor for my life. Although mostly successful I lacked a "work ethic gene". Twenty plus years with the Great State of Minnestoa and then I was just done. This was my theme song and still is in retirement. I love the Hawaiiian version the best! A masterpiece.
Rip my best friend dee we will always have the IHOP ❤
Now available on a brand new special edition Video and DVD from the creators of “Shrek”, it’s the hit movie that started it all, “Antz”.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who remembers this song playing during the preview for Antz on Shrek on VHS and DVD.
@@hunterolaughlin Same here
105.9 WHCN HARTFORD, CT Picozzi and The Horn morning show in the 80's played this every week as their "Monday morning anthem" 🤟😎 great memories...
#2020 still listening
Quarantine make me be like
Good music is timeless. 2020 is just a number in such an instance.
I'll listen to this in 2021 too
2021 and still going strong
how about 2021 still listening!??!
All rise for the anthem of the “NFL teams that couldn’t come up with a touchdown song…”
Every Green Bay football fan should know this song.
The Cincinnati Bengals will!
How bout indi colts😂😂😂😂
That i do best touch down song ever
Dez caught it
@@ZacharyVazquez as a cowboys fan IT WAS😞😞😞
A Very Up Lifting Song. A Great Song For Dancing. 🕺🕺💃💃
What a great song it has everything a beat and a crazy bass ang organ ..I ask you what else could a song need
Like I said what else,would you want, the song speaks of itself
More cowbell. Every song needs more cowbell.
I remember a country music channel would play this every Friday when I was a kid going to school.
John-Boy and Billy maybe...? I live in East Texas!
@@dashbustour3647 Never noticed this comment before, but no haha, I'm from Canada
This song is a scream! Love it!
When this came out, my work consisted of washing dishes on the weekends at a popular local restaurant, and like most dishwashers, I didn't want to work, either
I remember that song a long time ago they played it on good day morning Fox channels, has a whole lot of residents are celebrating work day off ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This song... It's amazing... My coworkers and myself feel this all too often.
This song makes me inconcievably happy
"Inconceivable!"
This song always reminds me of the movie “Antz.” It was in most of the commercials but not the actual movie itself.
Growing up in Philly I used to hear this on one of the tv news station all the time, it was practically an honorary theme song. Someone tell me I’m not making this up lol
way back in '92 I saw him do this with Ringo's All-Starrs 🎶
8:30am, 2 cups of coffee, and my day off work begins.
Gonna loop this on repeat and have a day.
One of the greatest songs, an done perfectly.
Linda Perry, April 15th 1965, Springfield Mass. Blood line Portages and lesbian and such a great singer and performer. Classic song forever!😎😎😎👍👍😜
Touchdown song of the Bengals Packers and Colts
GAME DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GO PACK GO!!!!!!!!!!! LETS HEAR A LOT OF THIS TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!
Always loved Todd Rundgren Songs even A Child 4 yrs. 1973.! Thank you Todd For Putting your Music on Cell phones. A Bad Day Put On Todd & BAM 😁👍🏼.!!!
Here I am playing this as I STRUUUUUGGGGLEEEE thru the last hours of a Friday.
When packers lose I bump this song 😂😂
This song sounds great coming from my jukebox on 45rpm vinyl record and I like playing this song loud enough for the every one in the house.
Hopefully for the neighbors too. 😉
When I play this song from my jukebox every one in the house hears it because I have a seabruge speaker hooked up to the jukebox.
Thanks brother for teaching me the drum when I was little. Bklyn m Coney island. We blast them out yes.
Bought hubby a new set for his birthday and my crazy sister send this to me - damn song is stuck in our heads now!
I’m burnt out from work so I feel this song in my soul
I was today years old when I found out that this wasn't from good ole Michael Scott 🙃🤙
I remember these days in St Louis. After a TD…Rams 1999. Greatest show on Turf.
yet it was The Packers touchdown Music 1st
@@samuraibeastwarrior2886 Newsflash: No one asked/cares.
This song lives forever in all the Packer fans who wonder that old ass Packers CD
This is a fun and catchy little song!
Packers Touchdown. Here's this 😊
YESSSIRRRR!!!!!
Well the Bengals and the Colts also use the song
@@gingerbreadgoalhorns895 Trying to copy the Packers. Very respectable
Was just fired from my job for stealing containers of coffee creamer on a regular basis.
Guess I’ve got lots of free time now!
Song always reminds me packers when score touchdown. Bears 🐻 fan so I’m used hearing this 5-6 a game at lambeu 🙄
I never get tired of this.
When Jimmy Kimmel worked for me in Palm Springs he would open his morning radio show at 6am every morning with this song...circa 1988...30 years ago..haha...
There was a DJ in LA that played the song every Friday just in time for the evening commute.
You dropped something...
Growing up the local radio station would play this every Friday morning. I'm keeping the tradition going lol
