We love ourselves a themed playlist and you'd be surprised at how many great songs there are for Labor Day. Whether you're having a barbecue or beach day for the holiday that celebrates the last days of summer, we've got the right jams for you.
1. “9 to 5” by Dolly Parton: Written and performed for the 1980 comedy of the same name, which starred Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin and Dolly Parton, “9 to 5” is one of the few Billboard hits to feature the clacking of a typewriter.
2. “She Works Hard for the Money” by Donna Summer: One of the biggest hits of this singing sensation’s career, this song is all about working hard and playing harder.
3. “Working for a Living” by Huey Lewis and The News: This 80s tune shouts out to all the working people of the world, from busboys to bartenders, who do what they have to do to survive.
4. “Money” by Pink Floyd: An ode to the economy, this 1973 track is considered one of the greatest guitar songs of all time.
5. “Takin’ Care of Business” by Bachman-Turner Overdrive (BTO): Used for hundreds of advertising campaigns, films, and TV shows, this song is a true classic.
6. “Working for the Weekend” by Loverboy: Another 80s hit, this song keeps its eye on the prize: Friday to Sunday night partying!
7. “Opportunities (Let’s Make Lots of Money)” by Pet Shop Boys: The irony of this UK classic is that it pokes fun of those who think they’re going to make lots of money, and don’t—an ode to its punk rock mentality.
8. “Back on the Chain Gang” by The Pretenders: Covered by countless of musicians, including Selena who turned it into a Spanish classic, this song is a top 5 Billboard hit.
9. “A Hard Day’s Night” by The Beatles: This chart-topper was inspired by Ringo Starr’s realization that the band would often work until the wee hours of the morning.
10. “Working Class Hero” by John Lennon: John Lennon’s first post-Beatles solo album featured this single about working class individuals being processed into what he considered, “the machine."

Choose Evite SignUp Sheets for the easiest, most streamlined way to get volunteers and signups for your next event!
Signup sheets are the perfect way to streamline scheduling, volunteer recruitment, class parties, snack duty, potluck organization, parent-teacher conferences and more! You can think of them as your digital assistant for coordinating events and tasks and ensuring that your event is a success.
Evite SignUp Sheets offers parents, teachers and event planners customizable online forms that organizers and volunteers can access and update effortlessly. Volunteers can choose their preferred time slots, sign up for tasks or indicate what they'll bring to the event. It only takes organizers a few minutes to create a signup sheet and send it out with a shareable link, so they can get the word out via text, email or social media—whichever way they prefer!
Long story short, SignUp Sheets save everyone involved tons of time, avoid scheduling headaches and ensure everything runs smoothly before and during the event.
Creating a signup sheet has never been easier than with Evite! Here’s how to create a sheet that’s sure to make your event an absolute success:
When it comes to signup sheet information, there are some essentials to include regardless of what you’re organizing:
When adding your slot information, clearly define what people are signing up for, especially for a what-to-bring list or role assignments. If you want someone to bring healthy snacks for kids to enjoy after a game, specify that. You want your volunteers to feel confident in what they’re bringing and to make it easy for them to know what’s expected of them. It will save them time and stress (and you, too!). That being said, if you make your ask too specific (for example, asking for a hard-to-source item or something expensive), you may not end up with a volunteer for it. So be clear about what you expect, but also be reasonable!
Aside from providing the basic signup information, you can also add optional descriptions to both your entire signup sheet and individual slots. While not required, they can help guide your volunteers further and provide more information. You can add information about allergies, preferences and general info about the event. You can also add a wish list to make it easier for your volunteers to bring exactly what you need!
Signup sheet templates offer a ton of advantages for both organizers and volunteers and with Evite SignUp Sheets, you'll enjoy even more benefits than other digital and paper signup sheets! Some benefits our signup sheet templates offer include:
With Evite SignUp Sheets, you can enjoy organizing and coordinating all your events with ease. Signup sheets streamline the signup process for everyone involved, ensuring that everything will go to plan on the day of your event while saving you precious time in the process.
