Howie Carr list ping (and yes Howie has been playing clips of the song)

Here is the link again

From Wikipedia:
"Bang the Drum All Day" is a 1983 song by Todd Rundgren. The lyrics describe in first person, the singer's drive to "bang the drum all day" to the exclusion of everything else. All the instruments on this track are performed by Rundgren. The song has become popular as an anti-work anthem or anthem of celebration...The song is used by conservative talk radio host Jim Quinn as his union heads-up theme...

It is very popular at sporting events. The most famous use of the song is at Lambeau Field, as it is played after every Green Bay Packers touchdown. This started at Green Bay in 1995 and has since spread to other teams around the NFL. The Los Angeles Dodgers also play the song when a run is scored. link

I saw Todd perform the song with Ringo Starr’s All Starr Band many years ago.

Another option might be “I don’ wanna grow up! I don’ wanna be a man...” from Peter Pan.
