Cover art for Minimum Wage lyrics by They Might Be Giants

The cheesiness of the music itself kind of makes me think of the introduction to a work training video. If there were a music video, I'd imagine it being a montage of a day in the life of a retail worker, with the relentlessly peppy synth melodies being contrasted with all the stress, drudgery, and potential hazards.

@destroyalltacos that's a good one! I never thought of the song that way, but it totally makes sense.
