You punch in at 8:30 every morning, except you punch in at 7:30 following a business holiday, unless it's a Monday, then you punch in at 8 o'clock. Punch in late and they dock you. Incoming articles get a voucher, outgoing articles provide a voucher. Move any article without a voucher and they dock you. Letter size a green voucher, oversize a yellow voucher, parcel size a maroon voucher. Wrong color voucher and they dock you! 6787049A/6. That is your employee number. It will not be repeated! Without your employee number you cannot get your paycheck. Inter-office mail is code 37, intra-office mail 37-3, outside mail is 3-37. Code it wrong and they dock you! This has been your orientation. Is there anything you do not understand, is there anything you understand only partially? If you have not been fully oriented, you must file a complaint with personnel. File a faulty complaint and they dock you!
Man, I love that movie! You know, for the kids!

That's a fucking awesome tune, nothing to be ashamed of there, been looking for that on 7" for about four years.

Get's me everytime. I do a pretty mean stupid whiteboy dance to that one.
You mean the tune they ripped off from McCartney II?

edit: hadn't seen Mjau's post. Are we making the same point, or did the ladies actually credit McCartney? 'Cause I was under the impression they claimed to have written it?
I thought it was stolen from 'Rio' by Duran Duran..

And another thing -

According to Wikipedia, the new generation's go-to place for irrefutable facts:
Wikipedia wrote:The song was produced by the Organized Noize team and written by Marqueze Etheridge, TLC member Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes, and Organized Noize.
...
Although this song shares the same title and a few words at the start of some lines as the song by Paul McCartney, no legal action was taken by the former Beatle against TLC.

"Eight Six Seven Five Three Oh Ni-yine!"

Frida, "I Know There's Somethin' Goin' On"
Toto, "Rosanna" and "Africa"
Anything by The Motels
Anything by Patty Smythe/Scandal
The two big Fleetwood Mac LPs from '75 and '76.

And yes...The GoGos.

Now that I look at it, it's pretty heavy on sugary '80s Girl Pop. Well. that's ok, back in the 80s I dated plenty of sugary girls who drank pop. :oops:
