And what do you want to do after a hard day at work? You want to break out! Swing Out Sister shows you how they were doing it back in 1987. This was a bonafide rock/R & B cross over hit. Take a listen or sing along with the lyrics and you’ll see why.
When explanations make no sense
When every answer’s wrong
You’re fighting with lost confidence
All expectations come
The time has come to make or break
Move on don’t hesitate
Breakout
Don’t stop to ask
Now you’ve found a break to make at last
You’ve got to find a way
Say what you want to say
Breakout
When situations never change
Tomorrow looks unsure
Don’t leave your destiny to chance
What are you waiting for
The time has come to make your break
Breakout
Don’t stop to ask
Now you’ve found a break to make at last
You’ve got to find a way
Say what you want to say
Breakout
Don’t stop to ask
Now you’ve found a break to make at last
You’ve got to find a way
Say what you want to say
Breakout
Some people stop at nothing
If you’re searching for something
Lay down the law
Shout out for more
Breakout and shout day in day out
Breakout
Breakout
Don’t stop to ask
Now you’ve found a break to make at last
You’ve got to find a way
Say what you want to say
Breakout
Don’t stop to ask
Now you’ve found a break to make at last
You’ve got to find a way
Say what you want to say
Breakout
Lay down the law
Shout out for more
Breakout and shout day in day out
Breakout
Breakout
Breakout
Lay down the law
Shout out for more
Breakout and shout day in day out

You feel better already don’t you? And guess what? It’s Friday and a few hours from now you can bop right on out the door with this tune in your head. Just don’t let the boss catch you.
And while you’re grooving in your mind check out the rules for the Old School Friday meme on Mrs. Marvelous’ site, read what some of these bloggers chose as their picks, and join in on the fun next time.
Loved this choice. I don’t have a job to hum this at today, but I’ll hum it while I do some applications.
Happy OSF.
It’s been a while since I heard this little ditty…but I’m reminded of how much I used to enjoy it!
Happy OSF!
You got me on this one. It reminds me of Boy George, and the 80′s. It makes me want to go to the parade on Oak Lawn and wave a rainbow flag for my GLAAD friends…
Kim: I’m with you on that. Starting a new gig myself next week.
Marvelous: Yep, we used to turn this one way up.
Mrs.G: Boy George. There’s another blast from the past.
Happy OSF group style.
Happy OSF! Haven’t heard this one in many moons; great choice…
I went in another direction with my OSF post this week. I invite your blog readers to consider that when the workplace is giving you the blues then it is a good time to remember this is a wonderful life!
peace, Villager
Yes indeed Villager. That’s the one Louis Armstrong selection that I know as soon as the strings start playing.
Happy OSF.
