What Do You Do?

Happy Labor Day! I have work for you - think of a song that mentions work you've done or what you do now. If you're a doctor, teacher or railroad engineer, you've got it easy. Otherwise, you may have your work cut out for you. File your request along with what you do.

Hear your requests weekdays after 9 a.m.
Today's set:

  • The Beach Boys "Sloop John B" (ship's cook and crew)
  • Rockpile "When I Write the Book" (children's librarian)
  • The Cars "Drive" (cab driver)
  • Tom Waits "Broken Bicycles" (bike mechanic)
  • The Marvelettes "Please Mr. Postman" (retired postal carrier)

The Village Trip

The Question of the Day is supported by The Village Trip, a festival of culture and community, September 19-28.
