Rodney Munch - The Company’s Ugly Sweater Contest (Obscurest Vinyl)

Wake up, Susan!!
LYRICS:
I don’t get paid enough
To dress like a dick
I don’t get paid enough for
So fuck off with this shit.
Susan, I’m fine
But you must know the truth
The ugliest part of your sweater…is you
Susan, can’t you see it?
The wool is pulled over your eyes!
This sweater is not festive.
It’s just a bunch of corporate lies!
It’s not just a sweater,
it’s a fabric of control!
Have you lost all respect
Have you sold your soul? OH!
I don’t get paid enough
To dress like a dick
I don’t get paid enough for
So fuck off with this shit.
Susan, I’m fine
But you must know the truth
The ugliest part of your sweater…is you
No, No, Look at me, Susan!
Trust me, this isn’t about last year’s contest.When the boss made fun of my sweater.He said my sweater was low-effort.
So for the next two weeks,I filled a dozen bottles with piss.I poured the bottles into his desk drawers.And when he finally opened one of the drawers,He passed out from the smell of my piss, Susan!He hit his head on the desk, falling to the ground.
This had been on a Friday afternoon, Susan!So he was passed out in his office,covered in my piss for an entire weekend!DOES THAT SOUND LIKE LOW EFFORT, SUSAN!?
SO, GROW UP, SUSAN!!
WEAR YOUR UGLY SWEATER, SUSAN!
YOU’RE BRAINWASHED, SUSAN!
YOU’RE A SHEEP, SUSAN!
YOU HAVE NO IDENTITY, SUSAN!
OBEY YOUR MASTERS!, SUSAN!
ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME, SUSAN?!
I don’t get paid enough
To dress like a dick
I don’t get paid enough for
So fuck off with this shit.
Susan, I’m fine
But you must know the truth
The ugliest part of your sweater…is you

No one cuts through corporate bullshit like Rodney Munch.

[@lazymansload520]

And on the company’s dime no less!

[@DaveFromTheDead]

I AGREE THIS IS THE BEST COMMENT! And I agree with the statement. It's a paradigm of Rodney Munch for sure...

[@PennyPlant-fr1gd]

What's Rodney Munchin

[@bgg5090]

So true. He keeps us all honest.

[@LakeFX]

Opening this while taking a shit on the company's dime

[@Ceber300]

I love how it shifts from “this is corporate bs” to “I’m still unbelievably bitter about my sweater being mocked”

[@vincenzomedicci6541]

"THIS ISN'T ABOUT LAST YEAR'S CONTEST" >It was 200% about last year's contest

[@metalbair90]

Unfortunately big stores boycotted this song because of its anti-corporate message,but it still remains one of the top Christmas songs

[@nocaptainmatt3771]

NO WAY! OUR MAN RODNEY IS BACK! LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOO!

[@theepilogue2190]

YEAH BUDDY!!!!!!

[@TheUnslainDragon]

I like how Rodney's boss/piss story arc comes full circle.

[@a2d]

Love how pissing on the boss is still the theme here

[@Orangejulius8]

Rodney's rants really channel the fury of Mayor Breslin.

[@MM-kk8uh]

Right! So much so that I was waiting for the flute solo!

[@cattrucker8257]

@@MM-kk8uh With "bitch!" punctuating the flute blasts.

[@OvaltinePatrol]

They call that dynamic a "Blue Eyed Breslin"

[@StevenJPiper]

I guess Breslin is not just my spirit animal then? Haha

[@legendgirl101]

I remember when this came out. Even after "It's Time to Take a Shit on the Company's Dime," nobody thought he would pull something like this. This is the moment, in my opinion, when 80s synthpop peaked. They aired it only once on the radio, and about halfway through, the station abruptly switched to Eurythmics' version of Winter Wonderland. It's especially hilarious knowing that Munch was this inoffensive classical pianist a decade earlier.

[@Barrobroadcastmaster]

"DOES THAT SOUND LIKE LOW-EFFORT SUSAAAAAAAANN??!?!!"

[@williammccullough2466]

Ol’ Rod went full Nick Cage with that final “SUSAAAAN!”

[@slacknhash]

That or the iconic line from the justly-mocked film Grim Weekend, also known as S.I.C.K. (Serial Insane Clown Killer) "SUSAAAAAAN!"

[@thestormofwar]

Rod and Mayor need to form a bowling team.

[@cattrucker8257]

The opponents will just flee in terror the moment they see their names on the roster.

[@bohdankuziv2707]

They will obliterate the bowling alley

[@frith-faisisteach]

Rodney Munch, The King of Proletarian Pop

[@gloomboy1639]

Nice to see Rodney Munch make a return.

[@zalafinari]

I want an entire Rodney Munch album.

[@stevep7346]

On vinyl.

[@awesomesauce5974]

Hell yeah!

[@OfficialREVENGEMusic]

Rodney Munch was actually the composer of a corporate themed musical sitcom called Break Time back in the 1980s. The show had a simple yet innovative premise of each episode taking place during break time. The guy on the album cover isn't actually Rodney himself but actually the main character of the show. The show centered around the main character, named Rick Dickerson, and his unusual antics. Most of them often involving bullying the boss with his piss, and causing all sorts of mischief during break time. The show was taken off the air after three seasons due to its obscene vulgarity and toilet humor. This happened right before the romantic subplot of Ricky and The Magical Unicorn Fairy Lady reached its conclusion. Rodney has gone on record saying the show would've concluded with Ricky committing a terrorist attack on the office building using a piss bomb that had been foreshadowed since the beginning of the series.

[@ZaidValRoa]

I like how at 1:38 Satan just takes over.

[@CoachPringle-x1s]

The Munch-man with an undeniable Christmas banger with a message

[@Zangamarth]

The Munch does it again! A working man's hero.

[@Jared_Wignall]

Rodney Munch is one of the best who ever did it. He didn’t like to mince words and could be very blunt when he had to be. Great stuff!

[@guyvizard549]

Off of his classic limited release Christmas album, "Bonuses for Bastards." It did alright in Finland.

[@JoeBleasdaleReal]

The whiplash from the transition into the final chorus is glorious 😂😂😂

[@kirbivore77]

YES! Couldn’t wait for the return of the Munch.

[@supergremlintripleseven6790]

New Rodney Munch for Christmas. Was expecting him to do a song about Santa shitting down the chimney for Christmas (since he shits on company time too) but this still absolutely slaps too.

[@ericbass3349]

This went from poppy 80's to Rage Against the Machine. Impressive range on Mr. Munch.

[@Khashmonet]

Rodney Munch had a real talent for tapping right into the cultural zeitgeist.

[@manimal2011]

There's a Susan in every office

[@Lofty1783]

He's only gone and nailed the emotion again!

[@badgerlord5390]

susan been real quiet since this dropped

[@DaveFromTheDead]

YES!! Rodney Munch is back after a hiatus! Thank you, Obscurest Vinyl for making me laugh today -- I seriously needed to! I feel better now. Alls I can say is that Obscurest has written some super clever lyrics for this song. And to write one about about an office's Xmas holiday ugly sweater contest is very humorous to me. I never participated in ugly sweater day at any job I've had, so I probably would think the same about Susan too, haha 😂😂😂

[@GojiraRising]

A true Christmas Maverick.

[@jannisdavidzwahlen]

Bro really is fed up with Susan 🤣

[@TheDominoJester]

Rodney harbors a different yet equal amount of rage like Mayor Breslin.

[@pauladrianfarcas1557]

Rodney Munch, the only man who can fight against corporate chains that hold us, using his piss! And win!

[@ElectricFilth]

I'm starting to worry about Rodney's mental health. Still... he pumps out bangers.

[@AussieEvil]

Rodney and his band always wore the nicest looking suits to their concerts.

[@Horayo]

Perfect for the Holiday season thank you Rodney Munch

[@scottcoon2795]

1:54 Rodney: "Almost lost my cool there 😅"

[@IvyLeather13]

HE'S BACK!! Bringing joy and truth to all this holiday season.

[@Supahdave1000]

Rodney Munch speaks both of sweaters and of smashing the system. He was punk rock before punk rock was even a thing. A true pioneer in a corporate ugly sweater contest.

[@kurosawa00]

Rodney needs a song about the company and putting people on hold for forever.

[@OblivionX522]

It is speculated the "Susan" referred to in Munch's late 80s hits is the same "Susan" in his memoir, a secretary at his record label who, according to Munch, had "poor taste in men, sweaters, and toilet paper brands".

[@WrongOnTheInternet666]

Rodney and the Mayor are begging for a duet.

[@dan4845]

The rageful screaming is well known to anyone who has worked in a office. There’s always a Susan chipping away at your patience bit by bit.

[@giacomostefanoni7634]

Ladies and gentlemen, Rodney's back...

[@TheChaosDragoness]

Rodney Munch, the king of the working class exposing the bullshit of the corporate overlords.

[@KäptnReiskorn]

A Hatesong for Susan, on KZbin? What a Coincidence.

[@TrashQueenAndKing]

Susan Wojak may be dead but she still runs youtube

[@alifmuhammadchicago]

You rong for that one. 😅

[@AnobviousX]

The Middle 3 and now Rodney Munch is back?! Hell yeah, let's go.

[@echoanddandelion8890]

My favorite thing about Rodney Munch is that the songs are perfectly believable as 80's jams other than the fact that the sound obscurest vinyl is trying to emulate would have been insanely high production value at the time and any anti capitalist sentiments had to be conveyed with subtlety or through the use of metaphor

[@swinepaste]

thank you for acknowledging the fact that every office in America has a "Susan"

[@bobcat24]

Just when the world hadnt heard from him for 6 months, he came back! 😃🎄🎅

[@EntertainingAF]

The wool has been lifted from my eyes

[@cattrucker8257]

The fabric of control is gone

[@TheMacabreTavern]

I remember when we used to walk the neighborhood singing this very carol. Thank you. Brought a tear to my glass eye.

[@Fulgrim2]

The man himself! He’s how I found your channel.

[@GonzoCiosain]

Rodney Munch goes from Huey Lewis to M.D.C. about halfway through the song

[@chayimweinstock443]

I’m saving this for the company Christmas potluck.

[@Runny117]

that was even more insane than I expected wtf 🤣amazing

[@UberNeuman]

Rodney Munch is business upfront and party in the back.

[@Jetstoanywhere]

Man , hes really laying into Susan.

[@outpost206]

I wonder if Rodney's boss, Father O'Malley, and Lucho's doctor are in a support group together. "You wouldn't believe what he said about my wife this time!"

[@stevep7346]

My favorite part of the office Christmas party is always doing lines off the secretary with my man Rodney Munch. Good times.

[@MaximumHeresey]

From office drone pop to absolute Nu-metal outburst. God, there won't be anyone like Rodney.

[@illegitimatefilm]

Rodney mistook the coffee stain that vaguely looked like a Reindeer on Susan's sweater for a watermark.

[@Charles-o3o]

This was played someone's mono system Christmas 1961.

[@mostlynull]

Please tell me this means we're going to be blessed with a full-length Obscurest Christmas album. 😂😂😂

[@lordofmorgul]

How about a reupload with a work-friendly title and thumbnail so we can sneak this into the company's Christmas party playlist this year?

[@fragwagon]

That bridge/break took this to the next level.

[@jamesrogers7902]

My buddy's dad worked with Rodney in the same company before Rodney turned to a musical career. That part about the desk full of piss happened because my buddy's dad walked in on Rodney pouring the bottles of piss into the desk. The man had it all planned out too because he had each drawer lined with plastic and all twelve of those bottles were gallon sized. Rodney and my buddy's dad locked eyes and Rodney didn't even stop filling that desk when he told him what he was doing. My buddy's dad just nodded and left in silent admiration, mostly over the bottles filled with piss.

[@kobeangelesdamelio]

I’ve been waiting for new Rodney Munch!!

[@davidc9396]

I blew off the company Xmas party and this was my spirit song!

[@jimmyr204]

Rodney Munch is a legend!

[@jaketrovillion6159]

The GOAT Rodney Munch is back!

[@iantkach6640]

This got even more unhinged than I was expecting xD

[@cattrucker8257]

Let it never be said that Rodney Munch doesn't put in the effort or say it like it is.

[@Ricecooka]

Susan catching more strays than Drake this year

[@OneStragePerson]

more Rodney, we need more Rodney

[@Plaid_Vlad]

SUE-ZAN!!!

[@Memfys]

You can clearly hear where Nada Surf took their inspiration from with Popular.

[@ObscurestVinyl]

@@Memfys haha for sure! What a great song

[@mrevanoc]

This will be blaring on my office during Christmas

[@drbilderburger]

Love seeing Rodney comeback. I hope to see Trip Watkins again too.

[@shaunpenne1840]

Ahhh, the Christmas of '85. I was 9 and remember this fondly cuz it was easily 100 times better than the fucking Frog chorus!!

[@hotelmario510]

I like to imagine the boss who passed out from the piss smell for an entire weekend is the same boss who got arrested in the bathroom

[@kobeangelesdamelio]

I’m positive it is

[@TheScienceNerd100]

Man, Rage against the Machine really sounds different nowadays

[@CarlosCMTF]

Does that sound like low effort, SUSAAAAAN!

[@HI-hr5up]

Rodney is my release as I desperately try to find a new job.

[@backgroundnoise9310]

Great work, Rodney!

[@MM-kk8uh]

This and "Squatting a Gift on the Boss' Desk" are the best songs on the Christmas album!

[@fluffywolfo3663]

THE MAN THE PISS THE LEGEND

[@Kicken_lol]

I'm going to play this on Christmas Eve 😊

[@Bearcade]

My favorite holiday song

[@goose8780]

I trust that there are Christmas jumpers available to purchase featuring this thumbnail (?)

[@demial4]

It's not that the previous songs weren't good but this one especially surprised me

[@deltamaxxhomevideo]

I’m all for this new era of OV original compositions.

[@kobeangelesdamelio]

Hoping to get at least 3 more Rodney Munch songs this year

[@ObscurestVinyl]

@@kobeangelesdamelio I plan on doing a lot!!

[@zd308]

Anyone know why some of the songs only show up on Obscurest Vinyl - Topic instead of the main channel?

[@coleconrad2543]

Rodney really gets it

[@DaussPlays]

Rodney Munch, and weaponized urine. Name a more iconic duo.

[@MortalDemon-x6i]

Return of the Munch!!! Still sticking it to corporate culture once again!

[@minofthecosmos]

Rodney played the long game with his bottles of piss. Playing 4d chess while everyone else is playing checkers

[@Sweet_2D_Volcano]

Man. The ONE day i don't take a shit on the company's dime...
