9:30 Coffee Break: Tool Songs

January 25, 2013

There has been a lot of local music news lately, the biggest (at least the story that made the most noise nationally) was of Prince debuting his new song "Screwdriver" on The Current. This sparked an idea for a Coffee Break in the brain of Dave, in Eagan, who wrote, "In honor of Prince's new song "Screwdriver" how about other songs about or using tools. This is totally not MC Hammer-proof."

Here's the task for today's 9:30 Coffee Break: songs that feature a type of tool in either the title or prominently featured in the lyrics.

Songs Played:

The Beatles - "Maxwell's Silver Hammer"

Doomtree - "Bolt Cutter"

Guided - "My Valuable Hunting Knife"

Trip Shakespeare - "Toolmaster"

Foo Fighters - "Monkey Wrench"
