To cut a long story short… MrsWarrior is constructing a christmas present for a colleague who hates DIY - and has therefore, naturally, been made DT co-ordinator at school. As part of it, she’s asked me to make a CD containing related songs, preferably comic ones. So far I’ve got:
Bob the Builder Theme
Bob the Builder ‘Mambo No.5’
If I had a hammer
Right Said Fred (by Bernard Cribbins)
can anyone think of any others?
Just thought of another:
The Gasman Cometh, by Flanders & Swann
“Build” by The Minders
“Building the Perfect Beast” - Don Henley
“Pipeline” - Depeche Mode
“Fixing a Hole” - The Beatles
“Building Bridges” INXS
“Burning Bridges” STATUS QUO
Probably not lyrically relevant though.
Build Me Up Buttercup – The Foundations
Concrete & Clay – Unit 4+2
We Built This City – Jefferson Starship
Right Said Fred – Bernard Cribbins
Solid – Ashford & Simpson
“Steel Monkey” by Jethro Tull is about a high-rise construction worker, so I’d say that counts.
16 tons
Architecture of Aggression by Megadeth
(but that is really about building empires so I’m not sure it fits the theme of the OP)
Brickhouse by The Commodores
