Our friends over at Gibson are celebrating the long holiday weekend by releasing their "Top 10 Labor Day Songs about Working Your Butt Off". Here are a couple of their picks:6. The Beatles, "A Hard Day's Night": Written by John Lennon with an assist by Paul, the seed for "A Hard Day's Night" came from something Ringo told a disc jockey in 1964. In talking about the band having just worked all day and night, he said it had been "a hard day," only to look around and notice it was dark. So he added "…night!" Genius comes in many forms. Thanks, Ringo! 2. Rush, "Working Man": The song that really broke Rush in the U.S., "Working Man" resonated with blue collar stiffs everywhere, who readily identified with its timeless message: "I get up at seven, yeah/And I go to work at nine/I got no time for livin'/Yes, I'm workin' all the time." - Check out the full top 10 here and find out who landed in No 1
