Humor: What song would you pick?

SerialHobbyist: I would definitely go with this version of "Slaves Shall Serve" by Behemoth....
Having performed at multiple work Christmas parties, I remember one set opened with this, acoustic with me on DB.
Not sure what the first song of the set the first year was, probably a "safer" choice, but in a real-world scenario this was a real answer.
For one of those parties the office hired some comedians who did a series of skits about office work, 30-year mortgages and stuff like that... no one seemed to like it much and some people got kinda depressed because the jokes hit too close to home. So don't overdo the songs about work.
But, having said all that, now I feel a need to listen to the Office Space soundtrack. That was a great one. Geto Boys were on it, Ice Cube, Biz Markie on a track sampling "Take This Job And Shove It"...

Coffeehouse style, eh? Here’s a lovely little acoustic ditty…
If families are invited, and you have offspring of the appropriate age, perhaps you can utilize them for the bit at the end,
Other than that, how about…

On second thought, since it's been "mandated," I think this could be somewhat apropos:
A question that hits home.
For the last seven years of my career, I worked at the worst place I was ever employed.
The management screwed over the staff in every way imaginable. (Can I say that on here?)
The employee morale and esprit de corps was pretty much at a Lord of the Flies level.
In my mid-sixties, nominally an adult, I literally had to almost daily fight myself to keep from walking out.
This song reflects the feeling running inside.
