11 Interesting JOB Songs features songs by August Alsina, blink-182, Chase Icon, Feng, Johnny Paycheck, and Only Fire.  

“I could tell by their tone they really hate me and this song / I say I love my job, but I really don’t…” Feng said what he said, PERIOD! Only Fire speaks on a different sort of job – one that’s NSFW: “Bitch, I’m nasty / Just took the boyfriend from my bestie / Sucked his dick good, he proceeded to sex me.” Yeah, we can fill in the blanks… Mr. Johnny Paycheck informed us, matter-of-factly, “Take this job and shove it / I ain’t workin’ here no more.” The common thread between Feng, Only Fire, and Johnny Paycheck is a J-O-B! 11 Interesting JOB Songs has one requirement: all 11 songs must feature some form of the word JOB in their title.  Most of the jobs are related to work, but in some of the jobs, a different kind of work is put in 😈. 11 Interesting JOB Songs features songs by August Alsina, Blink-182, Chase Icon, Feng,  Johnny Paycheck, and Only Fire. So, without further ado, clearly, it’s time to get to work!

1. Feng, “J*b”

Weekend Rockstar → Regularisperfect → 2026

“I’m clockin’ out at 5PM, why they think I wanna stay?” Exactly! English rapper, songwriter, and producer Feng (Travas Alan Feneley) keeps it succinct on “J*b”, his second single of 2026 from his debut studio album, Weekend Rockstar. Feng composed the sub-two-minute banger with Paul Epworth and Mark Foster. Feneley produced it himself.

From the jump, Feng brings the heat on “J*b.” The musical accompaniment kicks ass and takes names.  Set in a minor key, the moody backdrop is tailor-made for Feneley to talk his shit about his J-O-B! He raps with ease yet still brings a punch.  The cadence and flow are compelling to the nth degree.  Despite the brevity, Feng squeezes in two verses and two choruses.  In the first verse, he wants to be left alone.  He concludes, with a bang, “I could tell by their tone they really hate me and this song / I say I love my job, but I really don’t ‘cause.” Woo! In the second verse, he admits, “I hate wakin’ up at 6AM / I might crash out, haven’t slept, too many emails to be sent,” and adds, “I just want to leave my job, I really hate it ‘cause it’s somethin’ that I’m not.” Honesty is the best policy! The chorus is the crème de la crème, with a fitting s-bomb!

“I had enough of people sayin’ what they want to my face

Say I ain’t gonna be shit, I make more than you in a day

Why when somethin’ happens I’m the first one that they blame?

I would set the place on fire even though I’m PR trained.”

Oh, snap! Feng does his big one on the short but utterly sweet “J*b”.  The job may suck, but the song is a surefire vibe!

2. Kim Petras, “Rim Job”

Slut Pop Miami → Amigo / Republic → 2024

“Are you ready? / Ready for a rim job?” Oh, snap, Kim Petras! When it comes to sex positivity, the Grammy-winning pop musician is a huge proponent. She released Slut Pop Miami on Valentine’s Day 2024 – feels fitting, right? Right! Her naughtiness knows no bounds. On “Rim Job”, Petras asks her partner if he is ready for the specific sex act 😈, which wouldn’t be considered vanilla.  Petras wrote “Rim Job” alongside Dr. Luke (who produces), Aaron Joseph, Ryan OG, and Rocco Did It Again!.  This record about rimming is the longest on Slut Pop Miami, clocking in at 2:40.

Given the subject matter (sex), Kim Petras has no shortage of personality.  Furthermore, she doesn’t censor or water the sex down.  In the pre-chorus, the tongue action is on full display, given that she “Licky, licky, that’s the spot…” Before the pre-chorus, she asserts in the first verse, “Just relax, throw your legs up in the air / Don’t act surprised when I’m kissin’ on your thighs.” In the second, she adds, “He sing a ballad while I’m tossin’ his salad /… Touchin’ his phallus, now he horny like a rabbit.” Damn! There’s nothing safe for work about “Rim Job”… or a rim job for that matter! That said, give Petras credit for being so open about sex.

3. Only Fire, “Blowjob Queen”

Moana Lisa (EP) → Only Fire → 2024

“Bitch, I’m nasty / Just took the boyfriend from my bestie / Sucked his dick good, he proceeded to sex me / Told him if he wants it again, he should text me.” Oh, my… 😳😶 Croatian-born, Berlin-based electronic music producer Only Fire shines on the bold and unapologetic “Blowjob Queen.” The title is… something. So are the lyrics… “Blowjob Queen” is the third track from his 2024 EP, Moana Lisa. Only Fire wrote and produced this eyebrow-raising, risqué number.

“Blowjob Queen” should be taken with a grain of salt.  The lyrics are unhinged – sex-positive overdrive for sure! See the chorus:

“He says I’m a slut ’cause I suck dick a lot

I don’t give a fuck about the taste

Just feed me some nut…”

😳😳😳 In the refrain and verse, Only Fire’s ‘Blowjob Queen’ continues to give zero fucks.  In the refrain, she brags, “I suck dick so clean / Ain’t no bitch in my league.” At the end of the verse, excerpted earlier, she brags, “Got down on my knees / Sucked him right there on the spot.” The bridge is worth mentioning too, without an ounce of shame: “Come and put it down my throat / Let it soak, make me choke.”  There is no doubt about it.  A different sort of J-O-B is explored on “Blowjob Queen.” The theme and lyrics are NSFW while the production and sound are 🔥.

4. Chase Icon, “Job Application”

Icon Baby → Fame Hooker Records → 2025

“Now this one’s for my set-up chicks / With the big thick thighs and the fake ass hits,” Chase Icon asserts in the pre-chorus of “Job Application.” She continues, “With the gummy bear implants, fake ass tits / And a fifty-inch frontal with some French ass tips.” Can you say d-d-damn?! “Job Application” is the fourth track from Chase Icon’s 2025 album, Icon Baby. She composed the 1:50 cut, while Ayesha Erotica (yes, Ms. “Hardcore Anal Banging”) produced it.

“Job Application” thrives on its rhythmic, in-your-face, hard synths. An electrifying beat anchors it. Chase Icon serves up ‘iconic,’ bold, quick-paced rhymes.  Chase’s performance is confident and incredibly unapologetic. Some of the highlights include “Bitch, I’m stuntin’ at the El Pollo Loco / Blonde hair, black streaks like a bro hoe” (verse one), “You fucked him, but he’s got chlamydia / I just got my ears pinned back in Bolivia” (verse two) 😳, and “Call me pussy so much, might get me spayed” (verse three). The pre-chorus, excerpted earlier, is a win. The chorus is nothing short of  unforgettable:

“Now work, work like a job application

Now work, work-work-work-work like a job application

Now work, work like a job application

Now work, bitch, go to work like a job application.”

Ooh-wee! “Job Application” may be brief, but it’s an unforgettable, one-of-one song from Chase Icon, PERIODT!

5. Video Age, “Bad Job”

Living Alone (10^th Anniversary Deluxe Edition) → Winspear → 2026

“Got a bad job don’t make no money / Gotta use it right so I don’t lose my honey,” Ross Farbe sings on the Video Age single, “Bad Job.” Having no money is no fun and, definitely won’t impress her 😏. Farbe adds, “If I don’t waste no time / If I save every dime / I’m-a-gonna treat her right.” Noted. “Bad Job,” released in 2026, appears on the New Orleans rock band’s album, Living Alone (10^th Anniversary Deluxe Edition). Farbe and Ray Micarelli composed and produced the track. It features a quick tempo.  It thrives on colorful, memorable guitar riffs and awesome groove.  Farbe delivers a well-rounded vocal. Another selling point is the rhythmic, tuneful melodies featuring plenty of infectious lyrics. The money is running low throughout, but with hard work and saving on this “Bad Job,” maybe, just maybe, he can do enough to keep her? Bad job or not, the brief bonus cut is energetic and F-U-N!

6. Alicia Keys, “Good Job”

Alicia → RCA → 2020

“You’re the engine that makes all things go / And you’re always in disguise, my hero / I see your light in the dark / Smile in my face when we all know it’s hard.” There is a lot to like about “Good Job”, the fourth single from Alicia Keys’ 2020 album, Alicia. First and foremost, it is incredibly thoughtful, giving thanks to everyone affected and helping to combat the devastating COVID-19 pandemic.  Keys is being encouraging and uplifting, providing that positive reinforcement that educators seek to give their students. “Good job, you’re doin’ a good job, a good job,” she sings on the chorus, continuing, “Don’t get too down / The world needs you now / Know that you matter, matter, yeah.”  Lyrically, she says all of the right things.  Also, as she sings, she infuses her soul into it, giving it that next level of authenticity.  While the production eschews a bunch of bells and whistles, it suits the tone of this perfect pandemic-era record.

7. Wheeler Walker Jr., “Fuck This Job”

Ram → Pepperhill Music LLC → 2023

“Hey Wheeler, you’re late again / Good, this fuckin’ job sucked a fuckin’ dick anyway.” Wheeler Walker Jr. said what he said.  Specifically, “Fuck This Job!” Holy fuck 🤭! Walker Jr., Bob Tarzan, and Clell McClellan wrote the eighth track from his 2023 comedic country album, Ram. Dave Cobb produced it.

If you’ve followed Wheeler Walker Jr.’s career, “Fuck This Job” is on brand for the comedian. He’s crude as – wait for it – fuck! “This nine-to-five can suck my cock / I’d rather eat shit than punch that clock,” he asserts in the first verse, and adds, “Today’s the day I grow some balls / Stop jackin’ off in the bathroom stall.” Oh, wow! I don’t think we needed to know that, but it’s intriguing… In the second verse, Walker Jr. asserts, “I ought’ve be runnin’ this shithole,” adding all the nasty shit he’s done… pissing, pooping, dildo… It’s quite disturbing. The crème de la crème is the chorus, filled with f-bombs.

“Fuck this job, fuck you, boss

Fuck your profit and fuck your loss

Fuck you, Linda at the front desk too (What?)

Guy in the mailroom, fuck you

This whole company can slob my knob

Fuck all y’all, fuck this job.”

Again, Wheeler Walker Jr. said what he said. Is it a hot mess? Yes, but that’s what makes “Fuck This Job” so entertaining. It doesn’t hurt that it’s tuneful, either.

8. August Alsina, “Job” (Ft. Anthony Hamilton & Jadakiss)

This Thing Called Life → Def Jam Recordings → 2015

“Yeah niggas it’s crunch time / And I’m just tryna eat just like a kid at lunch time,” August Alsina sings on “Job,” the first full-length track from his sophomore album, This Thing Called Life. Alsina continues in the emotional pre-chorus, “Ain’t nothing standing in my way, I’m ‘bout to get mine, it’s hard work.” Alsina holds his own on “Job,” but he also gets a lift on this authentic R&B standout courtesy of a soulful Anthony Hamilton and hard-nosed Jadakiss. Alsina, Hamilton, and Jadakiss wrote “Job” with Ralph Jeanty, Sean McMillion, Sampha, and producers Flippa and JProof.  It samples Sampha’s “Hesitant Oath.”

Before dropping the pre-chorus, August Alsina performs the first verse. He brings the real talk, singing, “Drug dealing, stacking, flipping just tryna make a living/ Baby shaking on the pole just to make tuition / Single mommas facing drama so they can feed they children / Niggas strung out on that dope just cause they had a taste…” Ooh-wee, that’s a lot! Life hasn’t been easy for the New Orleans contemporary R&B singer, who makes it his mission to paint a picture of the hardships through song. Anthony Hamilton performs one of the most crucial moments of “Job,” the chorus:

“Lord knows I work hard

But I still gotta stay on my job

‘Cause I ain’t tryna get laid off

Won’t stop ’til the day that I’m a boss, yo, it’s hard work.”

In the final chorus, Alsina performs the back half. Jadakiss gets his moment to shine in the second verse, delivering plenty of striking moments. “I’m on a hell of a run, I thank the Lord completely,” he spits, and continues, “I’m puttin’ overtime in, so I’m sorta sleepy / And I haven’t slept in years, so that’s sorta creepy.” A powerful, underrated collaboration, “Job” by August Alsina, featuring Anthony Hamilton and Jadakiss, will never NOT slap, PERIODT!

9. Dorrough Music, “Ice Cream Paint Job”

Dorrough Music → E1 Music → 2009

“Fresh paint job (check), fresh inside (check) / Is the outside frame and the trunk wide? (Yes).” Dorrough Music (Dorwin Demarcus Dorrough), also referenced as just Dorrough, did his big one with “Ice Cream Paint Job”. The Dallas rapper’s banger marks his only song to chart on the pop charts. “Ice Cream Paint Job” reached the top 40, peaking at number 27 on the Billboard Hot 100.  It was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America in 2010.  It was written by Dorrough and produced by 2Much. Unsurprisingly, the intro, excerpted above, sets the tone on “Ice Cream Paint Job.” Matters of the ride are front and center.  Consider the intro as a checklist to see if the ride meets the criteria.

Following the intro, Dorrough Music drops the simple but utterly infectious chorus: “Cream on the inside, clean on the outside / Ice, ice cream, ice, ice, ice cream paint job.” Woo! Beyond the chorus, he drops three verses focused on his C-A-R. Among the highlights from the first verse is, “And the steerin’ wheel wood like a baseball bat / Just like Archie said, ‘We ready’ / Whole clique straight lunatics like Nelly / Grand Marquis’ paint job grape jelly.” So, Dorrough Music references Archie Eversole, Nelly, and the defunct Mercury Grand Marquis. Verse two is colorful, too.  While his “slab got a lot of niggas pissed off,” his “Cadillac got a wide body like Rick Ross.” I mean, Caddys are wide, and Rick Ross was also wide at the time 🤷🏾‍♂️. Confident, he doesn’t deny himself: “If I want it, I’ma a buy it, I don’t ask no price.” The third and final verse continues to reference all things cars.  “Rims on the ride got these niggas upset,” he asserts, and continues, “Rims sittin’ high, so I ride upset / Six 12’s 🔈 in the trunk, four screens in the deck.” D-d-damn!  All told, “Ice Cream Paint Job” is an unforgettable, late aughts rap banger.  No, Dorrough Music would never strike gold again, but he nailed it on this one with his confident, compelling cadence and flow accompanied by a mean, colorful backdrop.  That beat, and those synths rock – in the most hip-hop way possible!

10. blink-182, “Blow Job”

The Mark, Tom And Travis Show (The Enema Strikes Back!) [Live] → Geffen Records → 2000

“It would be nice to have a blow job.” I have no doubt that is a popular opinion among many men. Would they all state it bluntly like Tom DeLonge and Mark Hoppus of blink-182 do? Some would, and some wouldn’t. Fittingly, the song is named “Blow Job” (What else would you possibly name it?). It’s the eighth track on the band’s 2000 live album, The Mark, Tom And Travis Show (The Enema Strikes Back!). Tom, Mark, and Travis Barker composed this short but potent rock joint. Jerry Finn produced it.  Oh, and one more key lyric: “It would be nice to have a blow job / From your mom.” Of course – it’s blink-182 – would you expect anything less?! Ultimately, the 40-second-long “Blow Job” should be taken with a grain of salt.

11. Johnny Paycheck, “Take This Job and Shove It”

Take This Job and Shove It → Sony Music Entertainment Inc. → 1975

“Take this job and shove it / I ain’t workin’ here no more.”Country music artist Johnny Paycheck (Donald Eugene Lytle, 1938 – 2003) made it loud and clear in 1977 to “Take This Job and Shove It”. The song is the opener from his 1977 album of the same name. Outlaw country singer-songwriter David Allan Coe (1939 – 2026) wrote this classic, originally recorded by Paycheck. Coe later covered the song he wrote. “Job” reached number one on the country songs chart.

Johnny Paycheck sings abruptly and assertively, with some spunk from the jump. The first section of “Take This Job and Shove It” introduced to the world is the chorus, the crème de la crème.  Excerpted earlier, Paycheck adds, “You better not try to stand in my way / As I’m walkin’ out the door.” Can I get a big-time amen for that? A big-time hell yeah works too. Not only does Mr. Paycheck have attitude, so does the music. The band is locked in: keys, guitar, bass, drums, and percussion. The theme and lyrics are honest, thought-provoking, and memorable. During the two verses, I love the minimal accompaniment (the bass line, percussion, and a hint of harmonica). In the first verse, Paycheck provides insight into “working in this factory for… fifteen years.” “I’ve seen a lot of good folks die / Who had a lot of bills to pay,” he sings, and continues, “I’d give the shirt right off of my back / If I had the guts to say.” Oh, he says it in the chorus, where the listener is blessed with the full-fledged production.  In the second verse, he cries foul regarding the bosses, asserting, “One of these days, I’m gonna blow my top / And that sucker, he’s gonna pay.” Ooh-wee! “Take This Job and Shove It” is a high-flying country song that speaks volumes.  David Allan Coe wrote lyrics that everyone has been thinking or talking about amongst themselves.  Johnny Paycheck brought those lyrics to life like a champ. This song is nothing short of timeless.
