30 April 2026 (Special Edition) - David Allan Coe - Take This Job and Shove It / Take This Job and Shove It Too

To be fair, he DID write it, and he DID record it first - in 1978.  It's HIS song. 

And, after Johnny Paycheck made it a monster hit and everyone assumed he wrote the song - and Johnny Paycheck HIMSELF implied this was true and definitely downplayed the actual songwriter - David Allan Coe wrote a sequel.

I'm not saying this was the reason, but Johnny Paycheck would never have another #1 hit song.
