Engineering Meeting Playlist Fun
Engineering Meeting Playlist 1
Here is the playlist link for you Michele the Trainer’s Engineering Playlist
Laughter is the Best Medicine:
During all those years of all those looooong meetings, I have to share with you the songs that got me thru it all.
Sometimes I would have to change the lyrics or “mishear” them on purpose
I will recommend some suggested pre meeting hits and some lyric changes below
1. Boogie Wonderland Earth Wind and Fire
Watch this with sound…talk about work and teamwork..wow
Great mood lifter before you leave the comfort of the cube…if you want to keep smiling during that 4 hour meeting, this is your huckleberry!!
2. Hanging on the Telephone by Blondie
Cross Functional Meeting?? Work in Technical Support..this is YOUR SONG
3. Bad to the Bone by George Thorogood
One of my favorite bosses EVER taught me to never do a presentation without this song..
to this day when I step out to teach or speak I can hear this playing
4. Party Train by The Gap Band
Suggested lyric change; “Release” Train (if you use Agile you know this term), instead of “Party Train”
“Everybody on the Phone”…I mean really….aren’t they talking about a conference call meeting from a smartphone?
5. Theme to Spiderman (from original TV show)
Who can enter a bug fix meeting without hearing the theme to SPIDERMAN?
as it is man…
6. Video Killed the Radio Star by The Buggles
This one is more visual….
how can u go to a BUG meeting without thinking BUGGLES + the antique 80’s memories of their original video
this is not the original video…the original is worth looking up…but seriously……we need those glasses!
7. Cheap Sunglasses by ZZTOP
Speaking of glasses…help me stay awake!
hey…after 10 meetings….we just need them 🙂
then later…probably in the same meeting..after my caffeine had worn off:
8 Fixing a Hole by the Beatles
Bugs/Holes…hey same difference
9. Papercut..Linkin Park
Right when someone starts handing out user manuals, rfs, specs, big xeroxes to read…..this is your song..
I don’t think this song is really referring to paper…lol… but the name is fun and the song is loud enough to keep you awake while you read
10. 25 or 6 to 4 by Chicago
When you’re wondering when will this meeting END….
lyrics are fairly perfect as is::
“Waiting for the break of day
Searching for something to say
Flashing lights against the sky
Giving up I close my eyes
Staring blindly into space
Getting up to splash my face
Wanting just to stay awake
Wond’ring how much I can take…”
11. Spinning Wheel
“What goes UP..must come Down”…
When I could not bear to look at the value of my stock options at any tech company…this was my brain-cation and the band is appropriately named “Blood, Sweat and Tears”…
Enjoy Music!! and LAUGH…it will gift you a fun and healthy attitude!!
