1371 – Bachman-Turner Overdrive – Taking care of business (1973)

 


Escrita por Randy Bachman, foi gravada em 1973 e lançada no disco Bachman-Turner Overdrive II, em dezembro de 1973. Depois saiu em um compacto que tinha Stonegates como Lado B. Essa foi Randy quem cantou. Foi inspirada num técnico de som da antiga banda The Guess Who, que sempre pegava o trem das 8:15 pra ir pro trabalho. A letra é uma ironia pra quem acha que um cara que vive de música não trabalha. Foi gravada em Seattle, Washington, no Kaye Smith Studios e tem Norman Durkee no piano. Chegou ao número 12 no Billboard Hot100, número 14 na Austrália e número 3 no Canadá. Randy Bachman cantou e tocou guitarra solo. Tim Bachman tocou guitarra solo e fez backing vocals. Fred Turner tocou baixo e fez backing vocals. Robbie Bachman tocou bateria e percussão. E Norman Durkee tocou piano, como dito anteriormente. Ele estava gravando um comercial na sala ao lado e pediram pra ele tocar.


A letra:


You get up every morning from your alarm clock's warning
Take the 8:15 into the city
There's a whistle up above and people pushin', people shovin'
And the girls who try to look pretty


And if your train's on time, you can get to work by nine
And start your slaving job to get your pay
If you ever get annoyed, look at me I'm self-employed
I love to work at nothing all day


And I'll be taking care of business (every day)
Taking care of business (every way)
I've been taking care of business (it's all mine)
Taking care of business and working overtime, work out


If it were easy as fishin' you could be a musician
If you could make sounds loud or mellow
Get a second-hand guitar, chances are you'll go far
If you get in with the right bunch of fellows

People see you having fun just a-lying in the sun
Tell them that you like it this way
It's the work that we avoid, and we're all self-employed
We love to work at nothing all day


And we be taking care of business (every day)
Taking care of business (every way)
We be been taking care of business (it's all mine)
Taking care of business and working overtime

Mercy
Whoo
All right


Take good care of my business
When I'm away, every day
Whoo


They get up every morning from their alarm clock's warning
Take the 8:15 into the city
There's a whistle up above and people pushin', people shovin'
And the girls who try to look pretty


And if your train's on time, you can get to work by nine
And start your slaving job to get your pay
If you ever get annoyed, look at me I'm self-employed
I love to work at nothing all day


And I be taking care of business (every day)
Taking care of business (every way)
I've been taking care of business (it's all mine)
Taking care of business and working overtime, take care

Takin' care of business, whoo

Takin' care of business
Takin' care of business
Takin' care of business
Takin' care of business (every day)
Takin' care of business (every way)
Takin' care of business (it's all mine)
Takin' care of business and working overtime, whoo

Takin' care of business
Takin' care of business
We be takin' care of business
We be takin' care of business
Takin' care of business
Takin' care of business
Takin' care of business
