Dolly Parton - 9 To 5 

this is the happiest song about hell i've ever heard

Dolly Parton could write the communist manifesto but Karl Marx couldn’t write 9 to 5

Here From The Penguin. They nailed the start of this show and Farrell crushed it.

Penguin is a very wholesome show

Dolly Parton - Lead vocals, *nails*

This song has aged well, its now about working 7 til 6 and still not being able to afford anything :)

9- 5 is a dream shift nowadays

"Barely getting by" is a massive understatement today.

can we just appreciate that her nails are an instrument in this song

she’s the best nail player i’ve ever seen

The ticking rhythm is dolly clicking her acrylic fingernails. It's how she worked out the song on set because it sounds like a typewriter. She even has a separate credit on the song for it.

Deadpool 2 (2018) Fighting in some random places. The Penguin (2024) Enjoying with a fresh soda. Well, I think I’m enjoying this song.

I didn’t like this song a lot as a child, but now that I’m actually working, this song has become pretty much a daily motivational listen for me lmao

I think we need a rocketman/bohemian rhapsody style film based on dolly now

The people who disliked this work 9-6

this song fits so well with The Penguin when you watch it

I'm not sure if this was her intention, but this makes me want to quit my job tomorrow

Can we just take a moment to appreciate Dolly's hair?

Karl Marx WISHES he wrote this

The Penguin

Me: I don't like country. *Dolly comes on* Me: 💃💃💃

I'm from a Belgium and read a book about the USA. One of the chapters was about all the good Dolly Parton did for charity. What a kind talented woman. Grts from Belgium

No matter how famous or rich she became she has always been for the common man and that is what makes her such an amazing artist and human being.

The best thing about this song? "It's enough to drive you crazy IF YOU LET IT." She's right on all the points she brings up, so why wouldn't she be right too on this one? She just gave me the motivation I needed to look at a change of workplace. Thank you, Dolly!

coming from someone who hates country music, this slaps

Who else is here just because Dolly is badass?

Love herrrrr what talent

Who else is listing to this in 2024

Almost four decades later and this song still holds realism. I love Dolly Parton.

the world: *basically Hell* Dolly: so this is a bop.

This anthem is more relevant now than when the incomparable Ms. Parton first recorded it 41 years ago.

I'm here thanks to The Penguin series on Max. Great song for starting out the series. The song's movie is great too.

Dolly said let me put different races in this video More women of different races And sing abt the struggles of capitalism. We love a god damn legend

dolly really said: the gentle labourer shall no longer suffer, let the ruling class tremble at the hands of the revolution

Dolly Parton was so ahead of her time, it's crazy. With her music, her ethics, her attitude. She cemented herself as a country icon and was so good at reading the cultural landscape, she also established herself into pop culture, all while never losing who she was as a person

visiting after the penguin

A forever relevant song. Timeless! The struggle is real!

Many years ago I quit a job that I felt stuck in. I felt so good walking out that day and as soon as I started my car this song came on the radio. It was an amazing feeling and this song has held a special place in my heart ever since. Felt like synchronicity! Also Dolly Parton is a badass!

Sister Dolly standing up for the rights of the proletariat masses

The penguin 🐧 is the reason I’m here. 😂❤

I'm here because I learned about her nails and this song lmao. Thanks tiktok

I love Dolly! She came from extreme poverty as a child and I think that’s what makes her so humble and kind today. She knows what it’s like to struggle in the real world. The movie “Coat of Many Colors” is very touching. I love the movie “9 to 5” also!

She wrote this song in 6mintues while filming this .. she only agreed to star in this if she was allowed to write the soundtrack 💖💖💖

People Who are here in 2024

Dolly speaks to every worker with this song. Thanks so much for revealing the plight of the worker about 40 years ago. Sadly, we have not learned to respect each other yet.

This is the voice of our revolution.

Nice work, comrade

She’s a national treasure!! Has written nearly 3000 songs in her career. 450 were recorded. Just, wow.

Let's be honest this great song didn't come on our recommended section.

HER NAILS ARE REALLY A PART OF THE BEAT OMG

I love how she’s holding a guitar but not playing it

Who came after watching The Penguin. 👇

Fun Fact: A time traveling man named Karl Marx once wrote a manifesto based on this song.

The movie 9 to 5 is the reason why we have human resources in the workplace.

Dolly For President. Seriously people. Think about it.

🐧

if youtube was created in the 80s, this would totally have 100,000,000 hits!!!!!!

I am a strong believer that everyone needs a little bit of country in their soul.

love the way comrade Parton elucidates the exploitation of the working class by the bourgeoisie in this. notice how Marx hasn't said anything since this dropped?

I chuckled when this played briefly on The Penguin. Great song and pilot .

This song radicalized me

1980: Relatable song about working a 9-5 job 2020: Communist anthem

dolly killed it at the grammys

here because. of penguin let’s be pals

That typewriter sound is Dolly tapping her acrylic nails together. She even gave them a credit for the song!

Anyone else here because of the movie Dumplin on Netflix?

Can we just realize how fire this song is

Penguin: Did you scan the QR code? (To see Gotham's True Face)

Who else is here just because they are musically educated lol

Many songs are written about love and friendship but this is actually amazing and it's a cold shower we all need

Monday, I found out that a 32-year-old tech guy with no editing experience was offered the same salary as me (20 years' experience in editing and 5 years at the company). This song is an inspiration. Gave my official letter asking for a raise yesterday. We'll see what happens.

All the comic nerds getting introduced to old music this year is funny as hell

The question was: What radicalized you? Someone said: 9 to 5 by Dolly Parton This tweet forever lives rent free in my head

Dolly is a genius. This video tells a story in times when music videos tended not to tell a story. Dolly has been and always will be ahead of her time and a talented musician

The greatest battle song ever produced

"It's better right? C'mon... When you mix the flavors"

I worked as a cashier at Walmart for five years, the only thing that get me through it was this song, I would listen to it as a mantra against dumb supervisors and obnoxious customers. ❤️

She nailed this song 🤣

Late stage capitalism only sounds good when Dolly sings it 🥰

Today’s Bandle

Lyrics for anyone who needs: Tumble outta bed and I stumble to the kitchen Pour myself a cup of ambition Yawn and stretch and try to come to life Jump in the shower and the blood starts pumpin' Out on the street the traffic starts jumpin' With folks like me on the job from 9 to 5 Workin' 9 to 5, what a way to make a livin' Barely gettin' by, it's all takin' and no givin' They just use your mind and they never give you credit It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it 9 to 5, for service and devotion You would think that I would deserve a fat promotion Want to move ahead but the boss won't seem to let me I swear sometimes that man is out to get me! They let you dream just to watch 'em shatter You're just a step on the boss-man's ladder But you got dreams he'll never take away You're in the same boat with a lotta your friends Waitin' for the day your ship'll come in An' the tide's gonna turn and it's all gonna roll your way Workin' 9 to 5, what a way to make a livin' Barely gettin' by, it's all takin' and no givin' They just use your mind and you never get the credit It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it 9 to 5, yeah they got you where they want you There's a better life, and you dream about it, don't you? It's a rich man's game no matter what they call it And you spend your life puttin' money in his wallet 9 to 5, whoa what a way to make a livin' Barely gettin' by, it's all takin' and no givin' They just use your mind and they never give you credit It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it 9 to 5, yeah they got you where they want you There's a better life, and you dream about it, don't you? It's a rich man's game no matter what they call it And you spend your life puttin' money in his wallet 9 to 5, working 9 to 5

Im here because I hate my job 😥🤣🤣

The anthem of the working class.

2018: Deadpool 2 2024: The Penguin

the hours changed 5am to 5pm

This may be a little cheesy, but I can't help but love Dolly. She creates an atmosphere of good times and warmth. She has to make make eye contact with all the people around her, which adds to this clip.

I didn’t know Dolly created an audio version of the Communist Manifesto

🐧

With this CORONAVIRUS, this song has a totally NEW meaning.

The Orville sent me back here. What a great song, still after 40+ years.

pov: you’re here to see if you can hear her using her nails

The Penguin

The typewriter key sound was actually just Dolly Parton's fingernails clicking the table.

Karl Marx: Eyyo Dolly can I copy your homework? Dolly: Sure but don't make it obvious that you copied Karl Marx: *makes das kapital*

Thank you Dolly for a large voice in the fight for women’s rights in the workplace 💪🏻

"Hit it dolly!" -Deadpool

I loved this, especially the line You're just a step on the boss man's ladder. That line really hits deep.

How can you not love Dolly? she is just amazing.

Remember when a 9 to 5 job would actually pay the bills? I wish I could just work 9 to 5. I work more like 7:30am to 6:30pm. and I take work home on the weekends.

Came here after listening in the Penguien series on HBO
