    Re: What song are you listening to right now?

    Anyone else old enough to remember pre-cubicle office layouts?

    Both straight-up bullpens of juniors' desks in grids facing the desk of the boss... to semi-partitioned "individual" or group "offices" made of drywall and glass partition panels?

    I never worked in a grid bullpen, but I did have job interviews in places like that. By the 1970s those were often lorded over by some ex-military guy. Programmers served a month or two of the year as "operations" staff keypunching from coding sheets, hanging tapes, tearing off and separating and filing printer output, sweeping and emptying trash, etc.



    Recently visited a place I retired from over a decade ago. Sort of back to bullpens and multicubes, but now all standing desks and only very limited storage and filing space and one tiny bookshelf. Egad.

    Want to sit? Er, is it your break? Moo!

    I never encountered something like so at work and frankly it looks pretty doom and scary.
    However at some public sector offices (that the last renovation have been done since, never), yeah I've seen some of the iron desks and they look way worse than those that the video shows.
    Thankfully when I worked at public sector the building was relatively new so we had casual desks but when I visited peripheral buildings "I've seen some stuff that would turn you white", or black, depending.

    Re: What song are you listening to right now?

    For much of my career men working in an office were expected to wear a white shirt, necktie, and dress slacks every day. I think that began to change around 1990 or so.

    The song was from 1983 and written for the movie "National Lampoon's Vacation" but most of the beginning scenes where Clark Griswold's office was shown got cut. Even by 1983 the music video's office environment was getting dated. Part of that was rapid changes going on after the story was first written, part was intentional throwback to emphasize how grim the daily grind was for Clark.

    It's kind of fun to hear new people discovering classics. Often these are professionals like this singer and voice coach:

    I'm sure you won't know this song. It's a local South African artist. Beautiful song.

    I believe my music knowledge is better than most people, but I have to admit I don't know who else, besides Lacy J Dalton, sang that specific song. I can't find anything on the internet

    I thought every breath you take was universally known.
    All the song relies on the main riff of it.

    I don't think there was a feature film, but I might be wrong.

    All I remember is a 2 season TV series. Sort of an "anime noir with giant robots" and a definite whiff of Batman in there. The setting is an isolated city where some event 40 years ago destroyed everything outside and left survivors with little or no memory of life before.

    Heard this one recently in the car of a friend.
    Actually not my prefered genre (I'm Rock and Metal-Fan for 35 years), but it's not leaving me alone....

    Not to argue but having a guitar on distortion does not make it heavy metal. Strange song tho, not for my taste but it's, different.

    This one is weird in terms of genre. Disco with a country flavor, or the other way around?

    I know I have a tin ear, but that sounds just like something from a 1980s 8-bit Nintendo game to me. Megaman or something?

    Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds, a concept album, very much a late 1970s staple of the music scene, certainly over here.

    They did create a PC/PS 1 set of games using the same music but in the late 1990s. In the early 2000s a new remastered, mashed up version came out with a much more modern 'vibe' that quite suited the original. Worth looking out for the original album and the remastered version.
