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
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. 😂😂
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! 😂
“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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 😂😂😂
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 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! 😄👍
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.
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.
It’s spooky just how much this sounds like early Edwin Starr…only more, you know,…sweary… but I swear every vocal gymnastic is there. If it was a duet with Tammy Tyrell, I’d be absolutely convinced.
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!
I had vertigo and constant migraines for a week straight, worse week ever and I STILL went to work. The funniest part is I still worked faster than my coworker at the time (he works different hours than me now). Pat you are a slow man.
Oh do I ever cringe on flashing back to my days working for a tyrannical school district where to call in sick you had to go through a complicated maze of telephone buttons >> never mind the severe case of diarrhea or the bronchitis... you couldn't talk to a person; it had to be a complex phone setup. Lord, send me back so I can sing this song to the vermin who arranged for such a cold-hearted way of calling in sick. Great song!
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!]
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.
Reminds me of the Reverend Horton Heat song "Calling in Twisted". Certainly go together, this one is clearly for getting ready for the call in, and "Calling in Twisted" is for after.
Ahh reminds me of when I worked in a grocery store while I was job hunting after college… I was so lucky to jump at a temp job that lead me to a career and out of there
"And the doc says it's an acute case of fuck the hell off" 🤣🤣
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.
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)
“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. 😂😂
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.
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 🎉

I know someone who's going through that right now.
You have a manager that picks up slack??! Lucky!!!
The Prequel to “Take this Job and Shove it”.
I adore these happy-sounding songs with an FU message.
This song caught the essence of about 10 consecutive decades.

Making them come in so they can make both the rest of the staff and even your customers sick too!
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! 😂
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.
This hits every healthcare worker right in the feels 😂
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
THIS should be at the Top of the charts, every year!
60 years later and still 100% accurate
Best song ever. Needs to be the anthem of 2025
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
Been playing this all morning... Because I'm calling in sick
Christmas wrapping by the waitresses bought me to this channel…😂😂😂😂
The true voice of our generation. Back again from the 70s
Absolutely brilliant 😂😂😂
I take the train to work
Someone sprayed on the wall of a warehouse nearby the tracks "CALL IN SICK"
Sometimes, I agree
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.
Glad this channel was in my recommendations.
" He dressed the bare minimum. Meanin’ mostly bare and barely minimum." The description bring me to tears thank you x)
This is a goddamn masterpiece! I needed this song 20 years ago! 🎉
I would love to see a live performance of this.. it really is a great song.
I was so pissed when I got off work today, I was breathing heavily and my knuckles were popping when my hands were clenching.

This drops while I'm sick. Thank you
Dollar General. IYKYK.
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
This is the best song. Ever.
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! 😂
Love this song! I might come out of retirement just to play this song over the phone to my boss!
History repeats itself from the 60s to 2024
Distinguished. Splendid. Masterpiece.
Whoever is behind the lyrics, whoever is behind the melody - this is art.
Dude, this song is perfect! Gonna blast it on my last day.
I love the story in the description.
Best lyrics ever.
These just keep getting better
This needs to be the fucking National Anthem! Working folk stand up💯💪🏿
I have never called in sick of your shit,, But i have called in "Too Well To Attend."
Best one 🎉
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.
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
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.
The lyrics are spot on! 😂😂 👏👏👏
The day I pay off my 401(k) I'm blasting this!!!! Haha!!
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.

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 !
Lol as a nurse… this hits the spot…
This song really resonates with me.
This is the best!🤩🤣🤩🤣🤩🤣
❤❤❤LOL!!😅😅😅 This should be a work anthem!!!🤣🤣🤣
This song is reaching into the soul
Best song ever!🤣

I need to blast this at work!
Best new tune I’ve heard in a long time 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
This is hilarious & perfect!!
I've been sick out of work for almost a week, just beginning to get better. This is my jam
I had vertigo and constant migraines for a week straight, worse week ever and I STILL went to work. The funniest part is I still worked faster than my coworker at the time (he works different hours than me now). Pat you are a slow man.

This song is AMAZING!!!
i AM AT MY DESK WITH TEARS ROLLING DOWN MY FACE... trying not to screech laughter to the blue corn moon... this is GOLD
I truly wish this was a real song. Gold.
thanks to the fcc this ledgend was almost totaly unknown to the public
😢 I am feeling very inspired right now...
This is the auto repair workers theme
Absolutely love this song.
Brilliant

Literally just found this and I'm sittin here feeling SOO guilty for calling in sick.. Needed this gem! 💎 THANK YOU UA-cam ALGORITHM!! 💋
First time hearing this. Very cool.
Best song ever 😂😂😂😂

Brilliant! Raw and relatable
Why is this fire 😂🔥🔥
Giving the people what they need!
👍😎
A true anthem of the working man. ❤️

Make this mother famous.
This is another one that actually sounds good with the message I feel too
These are always soooo freaking on point! Keep it up
Super glad the UA-cam algorithm is actually recommending videos I want to see. ❤❤❤❤
Omg!!!!!😂 awesome
This is some fire!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Priceless
The sound is authentic, and the lyrics are a new working class anthem.
All time classic 🎶💯
Brilliant 👍👏
Ahh reminds me of when I worked in a grocery store while I was job hunting after college… I was so lucky to jump at a temp job that lead me to a career and out of there
Omg so needed this song.....having to deal with the worst nightmare whose manager thinks her shit don't stink. These people are all delusional
