"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.

Rundgren would re-record the song live for subscribers to his Patronet service. The new version was retitled "Bang the Ukelele Daily," referring to Rundgren's decision to perform it in a Hawaiian style, accompanied only by a ukelele. "Bang the Ukelele Daily" was included on his album One Long Year. - Wikipedia
