For just a laugh. I thought it was a brilliant clip. Its only about a minute but there is a lot going on in it. If you listen to the whole thing, it sounds like its part sermon, part standup. Its got this great twist where you expect the father to give this sage but trite advice to his daughter about keeping her chin up, which he knows might not really cheer her up in that situation. So he delivers this almost pitch perfect song about not letting them get her down that sounds like its coming from a man who knows how it feels to have a lousy boss.
Its almost like a a protest song which he tells you can hum in solidarity at the end so you don't lose your job. That's why I posted this version with the dialog in. Guess I set it up wrong.

No, it was a great post. I wasn't insulting it and I enjoyed the song too. I was simply contributing to the thread because I found the song I posted, on youtube, just a minute or two later. They are both funny as hell and I may very well end up singing them both at work.
