Title
My Job Gave Me a Poncho
featuring Brian Graupner of The Gothsicles
Not quite a true story, but based on two true stories - I combined the conditions at a former job with a gift I received at my current job and the result was this mess. I've received several company-branded items over the years - coffee mugs, water bottles, towels, yoga mats, calculators, Rubik's cubes, condoms, bouillon, turnips, etc., but the one that raised my eyebrows the most was most definitely...well, I don't want to give it away for those of you who haven't read the title. Let's just say it rhymes with "Gonzo" if you have a serious speech impediment.
The golden voice of Mr. Brian Graupner is sprinkled delicately onto the chorus, lending this song a touch of class that elevates it far beyond what one might normally expect from Worm Quartet's annual sonic offage.

I have to wait for the 25 year gift for my poncho!

Funny!! Funny!! But none of my employers ever game me a poncho. Quite a few t-shirts and golf shirts, however.

If I could edit my previous comment ... I meant "gave" me a poncho, not "game".

I designed the company shirt for a PRIZE... know what the prize WAS? --THE SHIRT ITSELF. --- also, the last thing I was given by my company was a plastic compartmental jobber with four band aids in it. yup. --FANTASTIC JOB, Shoebox....you deserve another poncho!

I love the mix of classic Shoebox and classic Gothsicles. Has someone checked to make sure Alachav is ok after hearing this?

This song is just one big dad joke.

My favorite company "gift" was the Poison Coffee Mug. It actually had a sticker on the bottom saying it may contain lead. ("Gift" means poison in German.) WQ+Brian Graupner <3
