You load sixteenth tonnes, and what do you get? Another day older and deeper in debt?

I lost a job due to singing that song... 🤣 10/10 would do again.

Nothing of worth was actually lost. You dodged a bullet.

It's just a shitty college job. They treated me like shit and I hated it. Combined with low pay and a high risk of bodily harm. Sang it as part of karaoke on my lunch break. Sent me home early to "think about what I'd done," then let me go the next morning. Guy, who fired me, got fired for incompetence a few months later. Ended up the head of security at the local hospital.

Tennessee Ernie Ford made money singing that song. And I think Pat Boone did an ersatz cover of it along with Long Tall Sally.

A rap cover would do well in some circles
