    Come, mister tally man, tally me banana

    (Daylight come and me wan’ go home)

    Come, mister tally man, tally me banana

    Definitely not about coal miners, but certainly a song about blue collar workers

    I was just thinking about that song because I watched The Greatest Night in Pop, and they broke into singing Day-O at one point in the process. I was just thinking a call and response work song would have made for a much better solution for what they were trying to do, which was have a chorus, but also give soloists a chance to do a very quick solo.
