This signed sheet music is for Bang the Drum All Day by Todd Rundgren, autographed by the legendary musician himself. Released in 1983 on the album The Ever Popular Tortured Artist Effect, Bang the Drum All Day became one of Rundgren’s most recognizable and enduring songs. Known for its playful lyrics and infectious rhythm, the track is a tongue-in-cheek anthem about rejecting work and embracing joy, with the memorable refrain, “I don’t want to work, I just want to bang on the drum all day.” Although not a major chart hit at the time, the song became a cultural staple, frequently used in films, television, sports stadiums, and commercials. Its lighthearted spirit and universal appeal have kept it alive for decades as a feel-good classic. Todd Rundgren (born 1948 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) is one of the most innovative and versatile figures in rock music. As a singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer, he has built a career spanning more than five decades. In addition to his solo hits like Hello It’s Me and I Saw the Light, Rundgren earned acclaim as a producer for albums such as Meat Loaf’s Bat Out of Hell, XTC’s Skylarking, and Grand Funk Railroad’s We’re an American Band. His pioneering work with technology, including early experiments with computer-based music and interactive media, has made him a visionary well beyond his role as a performer.
