Actually it's true. I volunteered because I thought it would be pretty hype, and it would be great to say whateva on the mic! But before the dancing really begins I wanna throw on some stuff like:

1) Johnny Paycheck - Take This Job and Shove It
2) The Animals - We Gotta Get Outta This Place

And thus spake Macca:

Out of college, money's spent,
See no future, pay no rent,
All the money's gone, nowhere to go.

Any jobber got the sack,
Monday morning, turning back,
Yellow lorry slow, nowhere to go.

But oh, that magic feeling:
Nowhere to go.

If it really was THIS company, with THESE people, and I really WAS the DJ, then it would be this "emotional journey", hem hem, in this order...

Dolly Parton - 9 To 5
The Smiths - Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now
Kelis - Caught Out There ("I HATE YOU SO MUCH RIGHT NOW")
Super Furry Animals - They Man Don't Give A F**k
Gloria Gaynor - I Will Survive (however over-played they might be, some tunes just have their Moment...)
REM - It's The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)

Then we'd all trash the place, obviously.
