Movin' dirt music

[indy mike]

I had 4 cubic yards of topsoil dropped off in my driveway today, and have wheelbarrowed about a third of it to its new home; I've had 16 Tons going through my head and need some new laboring tunes to hum tomorrow - gimme some ideas, friends! :)

How about some punk rock? Ramones? Sex Pistols? Something with a beat! Something to make you superhuman!
