Callin' In Sick (Of Your Sh*t)

- Take a personal day with Quarter Brown and The Dollar Thrills in this obscure 60s soul vinyl cut, brought to you via ai music magic.
Born Eli Sanford to a family of traveling performers, Quarter Brown would legally change his name after his father’s passing in 1960. “That old bast*ard was a Tyrant,” Brown’s brother Sonny Sanford said in an interview he was hours late for. “But my brother got it the worst. He liked to say ‘this family is about dollars and you ain’t worth a quarter.’ But my brother’s got more talent in his little finger than in the whole of that miserable sack of sh*t.”
Quarter Brown would link up with a small Detroit doo wop group in 1961, shifting their musical direction and securing a record deal. Though after touring their first release, some of Brown’s wardrobe choices began to make the band uncomfortable. “Look, genius comes at a cost,” Willy Fontaine of The Dollar Thrills noted. “Quarter just…he wanted to be free, you get me? He dressed the bare minimum. Meanin’ mostly bare and barely minimum. You can’t perform like that on stage. And definitely not on TV. Maybe in the 70s but we never made it that far.”
Unable to keep a group together or perform live, Quarter Brown would spend most of the late 60s and early 70s producing classics from The Gleeful Dreamers, The Middle 3, Julius Orange and The Pulp, Freddy And The Shore Trotters, Linda Ferrari, among others including his brother Sonny Sanford. Finally, in 1976 a slightly older, slightly fiercer Quarter Brown would emerge and once again expose his unique brand of soul to the public.

"And the doc says it's an acute case of fuck the hell off" 🤣🤣
😂
😅😅😅😅😅
Best line ever.
National anthem for retail workers everywhere
Don't forget, blue-collar workers.
And food service workers!
It’s for all of us in the service industry and non-corporate jobs
to basically anyone with an entry level job
How about for all workers. Workers everywhere are being shit on, not just retail.
anthem of the terminal retail worker. Haha good stuff.
"I'll have perfect attendance when you're fired." That hit real close to home for me.
This song caught the essence of about 10 consecutive decades.
I don't even care if this is AI I'm fucking rolling
Ikr so hard to tell lately lmao
I guess it is tho, verses sound modern, voice kinda rough around the edges.
But the lyrics are straight up fire! Example of ai applied correctly
From the description, it looks like whoever runs this channel is writing the lyrics, but the rest is AI
Yeah this is fucking great
😂 me too! It's phenomenal.
Perfect use of AI being used as a TOOL and not a REPLACEMENT (companies, take notes)
I adore these happy-sounding songs with an FU message.
“Dimes, Nickels, and Sense” is a genuinely great album name.
Yes! I had the good fortune to see Quarter Brown and The Dollar Thrills in 1979 at The Stick It To the Man Concert. Mad Respect to this brother!
It’s an absolutely perfect name especially when it refers to the number of businesses that make dimes, nickels, and cents, without making any common sense. 😂😂
Unironically, it actually is lol
My 7 year old made a song on the computer today that he titled: Screams From Heaven. I said that's a great title dude!
I tore my achilles tendon, limped into work and boss didn’t care, didn’t even ask what happened. So I stood up for myself and said I wasn’t able to work and I was going home. Next day I told the shop owner I wasn’t coming back due to my injury 🎉
That was a year ago, I now have my own small business and the only thing I wish I had done differently was send them this song! 😂
Glad you stuck it to them. Keep it up 🎉

These soun like the
MAKE BALEEF story
you making it up
es make baleefs
What do you do and how did you get started?
Soooooo.... what do you do now, when your own employees come in sick?
You didn't tear your Achilles. Your leg wouldn't even function 😂
“Why do we even have sick days if we can’t ever use em?” That part is straight up truth. Well sorry if I can’t control my body from getting ill at a time of your convenience so you don’t have to worry about finding coverage. About as a dumb as when managers get mad at you wanting to use your vacation hours, so they have to pick up the extra slack.
As Fallout 4 puts it: using your vacation days is frowned upon, but its fun to collect them
Dont remember the exact line, but either way i thought it was hilarious
The real killer is when you DON'T use your sick days and then come the end of the year they're gettin on your ass for trying to accumulate sick time! Like what, I'm supposed to use em on the slowest business weeks of the year? That's fuckin stupid!
I know someone who's going through that right now.
You have a manager that picks up slack??! Lucky!!!
You should be sorry, for having a pathetic immune syatem.
The Prequel to “Take this Job and Shove it”.
😂 thought the exact the same thing ❤
Companies really are out here like “I refuse to hire enough people to actually run my store because it’s cheaper to hire half the staff needed and never allow them to call off and overwork them with the work of 3 people for the pay of 1”
I feel like my company has really reduced the available amount of work hours for the store after the pandemic. After seeing their stores running on skeleton crews due to so many quitting their jobs back then and still be operating despite everyone hanging on by the skin of their teeth.
@@TwistTheCardboardCrackAd-wt9wlit's all about greed.
Yup
Where used to work retail I was the sole person running the entire floor of the store with a single manager in the back as last resort backup who was always busy with running the backside of the store to help anyways (also all by themselves). They expected one person to individually scan every customer out at the self checkout station (we had a problem with stealing because of the whole “one employee must watch the entire store but they also aren’t allowed to leave the front” thing so all the self checkouts were closed aside from the one where the cashier was supposed to manually scan everyone out.) corporate never figured out that people weren’t stealing at the self checkouts, they were stealing in the isles where literally no employees were gonna be to stop them. And honestly? The people who stole? Good on them, genuinely at that point the company is asking for it, maybe man your god damn store and people won’t be incentivized to steal your garbage. All we sold was cheap trash designed to break in 3 months anyways, along with maybe 1 or 2 actually solid products. But I feel like it’s all part of the company strategy, the company still saves money in the end because everything that got stolen was cheap trash that costs pennies on the dollar for what we sell it for whereas even though what they pay their employees is far from acceptable it’s still more expensive than whatever trash gets stolen from the store. I just don’t understand how people will spend hours and hours defending these kinds of practices even though they are objectively just terrible for everyone involved except for whatever bozo shareholders are laughing at us for putting up with these standards.
Making them come in so they can make both the rest of the staff and even your customers sick too!
Hands up for who has called off just for a breather.......or you had something way better to do.......or a shit for a boss. This is the jam for all us working class folk.
Umm I call in sick just cause it's cloudy sometimes.
And sometimes cause it's sunny.
I just call in a lot. Life is too short.
Been there.
Didn't even call in 😂 fuck em 😂
Been playing this all morning... Because I'm calling in sick
This hits every healthcare worker right in the feels 😂
❤
Absolute Banger! Give this man a Grammy 🎉🎉🎉🎉
THIS should be at the Top of the charts, every year!
The true voice of our generation. Back again from the 70s
Glad this channel was in my recommendations.
I unironically need an actual singer to cover this because it's goated.
I would love to Karaoke this. Everyone would clap!
I feel like Samuel L. Jackson should! 😂
Need to get this song recorded... The workers anthem
60 years later and still 100% accurate
I remember calling in sick once with the flu. I could barely stand and had all the flu symptoms, but my boss didn't consider for even a second that I might be telling the truth. I hung up on him because I had to get to the toilet.
Karma came later when he and his boyfriend were arrested for stealing money from the store.
😂 this made my day. 💙🩵💙 FAFO AT IT'S FINEST
Huh, a real-life case of be gay, do crime. Anyway, screw that guy for insisting you come to work sick.
im my last year of school we had this vice principal that was a pain in ass with everybody, some months after i graduated i heard he got fired stealing 50 Reais( probably 15 $ in that time), that dumb tried to steal from the principal desk and got caught in the camera 😂😂😂
Your boss is a gay villain
Amen
I think this one is my favorite on this channel. 🤣🤣🤣
I was so pissed when I got off work today, I was breathing heavily and my knuckles were popping when my hands were clenching.
Thought I could listen to some music to calm me down on the way home and realize that I'm just overreacting.
I saw this on my recommendations and I'm not even kidding, I went from pissed off to laughing and smiling on the way back home.
Beautiful song, thank you so much this made me happy within minutes! 😄👍
This is the best song. Ever.
We calling off work today with this 😂
" He dressed the bare minimum. Meanin’ mostly bare and barely minimum." The description bring me to tears thank you x)
Had a super emotional day but these 70's hits of the future fixed me good just now. These hits are slappin' like booty cheeks! 😂
Best song ever. Needs to be the anthem of 2025
Distinguished. Splendid. Masterpiece.
Whoever is behind the lyrics, whoever is behind the melody - this is art.
This drops while I'm sick. Thank you
Fun fact: Every single member of Quarter Brown and the Dollar Thrills was eaten by wolves; 2 in Norway in 1979, 1 was eaten in Alaska 1983 and the final member fell into an enclosure at Edinburgh zoo in 1999.
😂.
I have a hard time feeling jokes, but I believe this instantly.❤
Poor bastards, I hope they made some nice wolf turds.
This song is a Hymn ... Listen to it every day for inspiration and motivation
Dude, this song is perfect! Gonna blast it on my last day.
At first I found this song hilarious, but then it hit me in the feelings as it's just too personal and guess reality for a lot of us working folk. At any rate, great song.
I called in 8 days this year, not one time was I actually sick.
Mental health day
I take the train to work
Someone sprayed on the wall of a warehouse nearby the tracks "CALL IN SICK"
Sometimes, I agree
This is an example of turning your struggles into art. It's like the uploader wrote what they want to say to their boss when calling-in. 😂
Shut up
It’s AI dummy
Dollar General. IYKYK.
I would love to see a live performance of this.. it really is a great song.
Best lyrics ever.
You know what, I have no problem with the machines taking over 👌
Really can't be any worse than half the actual human beings in charge lol
@FourthIdentity-gu2zk half? Where you living and I'll move. 90% cnuts when I look out my window 🤣
I mean, the lyrics were definitely written by a human.
@@1974Carnage97.8% and it raises everyday, let’s see what happens in the next 3 yrs cause it won’t be pretty
Humanity sold its soul so much, the machines have more soul than us
History repeats itself from the 60s to 2024
2:08 this line is personal 😂😂😂
“I’ll have perfect attendance the moment you get fired..”😂😂😂😂
This needs to be the fucking National Anthem! Working folk stand up💯💪🏿
Love this song! I might come out of retirement just to play this song over the phone to my boss!
These just keep getting better
This was his follow up hit to “Don’t Test Me Bitch.” Man, he was on such a roll Elvis eventually gave up and faked his death on the toilet.
I like this a lot
Civilization with AI is gonna ok. It was supposed to destroy music but this is the most relatable song I've heard in the last decade. 🤣
if pop and country are any indication, humans have already destroyed music, AI can only improve it at this point
I just found this channel and I can’t wait to hear these songs. They’re Hilarious!!
😆😂🤣😭 This is awesome!!!
🥰💯👏💯👏🥰
My XBOX going red ring of death:
After alll these years, it's about time your xbox stood up for itself and used its sick days.
This song touchs my soul
Listening from Mackinac Island Michigan
Holy fuck betcha it's cold out there ...from Topinabee
@sonnybaker2092
Ha heck ya it is.
Look me up if you're ever on Mackinac Island this summer !
This is the best!🤩🤣🤩🤣🤩🤣
The lyrics are spot on! 😂😂 👏👏👏
I love the story in the description.
I'm steady finding these old school gems.
I have never called in sick of your shit,, But i have called in "Too Well To Attend."
Best one 🎉
This is hilarious & perfect!!
Christmas wrapping by the waitresses bought me to this channel…😂😂😂😂
This is a goddamn masterpiece! I needed this song 20 years ago! 🎉
Best new tune I’ve heard in a long time 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
❤❤❤LOL!!😅😅😅 This should be a work anthem!!!🤣🤣🤣
Best song ever!🤣
This hits me hard. Work at a liquor warehouse and the one time I had to go on light duty I got treated like shit. So I've had a couple times I've injured myself where I haven't because I honestly think they'd try to just fire me. Last time was because I didn't call in sick and worked sick because of this exact attitude and fucked my back up time before I sprained my foot and called in because my shit was so swollen after working on it I could barely even walk and I've gotten punished both times for missing one fucking day in ways that just made my injuries worse. Hopefully one day karma will come back to bite these scumbags who don't even register you as a person in the ass.
This song really resonates with me.
Absolutely brilliant 😂😂😂
Still still relevant in this day and age
All time classic 🎶💯
This song is AMAZING!!!
Song i can relate too.
Brilliant 👍👏
A true anthem of the working man. ❤️
Love the title,the song and the story. Quarter Brown and his “bare minimum” style of 70s future soul music. Don’t care about if
it’s AI it’s more relateable than anything today. Let the machines take over from these greedy bosses that hoard all the money and run us to the bone on skeleton crew shifts to save even more. Sh*t we have had wage stagnation for 40+ years! Since the 1970s!
thanks to the fcc this ledgend was almost totaly unknown to the public
This needs to be played in the next annual meeting
This song is reaching into the soul
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣I'm DYING!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Absolutely love this song.
Best song ever 😂😂😂😂
Brilliant
I adore the "blurbs" in the descriptions on this channel -- I have to pause the music to read that *first* now that I'm addicted to Almost Vinyl. Merry Holidays [not too early and not during holiday hours!]
Super glad the UA-cam algorithm is actually recommending videos I want to see. ❤❤❤❤
Man, this reminds me of the time I near broke my rights' middle and ring fingers, asked for a week off instead of works comp, and still got fired after it, lmao.
These are always soooo freaking on point! Keep it up
Every line speaks to me on a fundamental level. Having that person that just doesn't care about doing their job or carrying their weight...having sick days you can't ever use...the one time you legitimately DO need a day off and everyone wants to give you crap for it.... Yeah, this sounds familiar.
More songs like this please!
Giving the people what they need!
👍😎
I need to blast this at work!
First time hearing this. Very cool.
This is one of the best songs I've heard lately 😆
Brilliant! “Working class rise up, organize!“ This takes me back to Prince and late 80s music.
This isn't even funny. It's genuinely a good song.
It’s better than most of what’s on the radio
It is funny
Then i don't know why i cant stop loughing in eachcand every verse
Literally just found this and I'm sittin here feeling SOO guilty for calling in sick.. Needed this gem! 💎 THANK YOU UA-cam ALGORITHM!! 💋
Finding this was the best part of my day!
😢 I am feeling very inspired right now...
