I wonder if it was specifically about coal miners, or if that was just the theme of the playlist. Because if it’s just the vibe, there’s some great songs there. First two that come to mind are Dire Straits’ “Telegraph Road” and Springsteen’s “The River”, but there’s a lot more like that.
Definitely not about coal miners, but certainly a song about blue collar workers
I was just thinking about that song because I watched The Greatest Night in Pop, and they broke into singing Day-O at one point in the process. I was just thinking a call and response work song would have made for a much better solution for what they were trying to do, which was have a chorus, but also give soloists a chance to do a very quick solo.

If it even exists. The coal miner part was obviously added in after the fact and not part of the original tweet.
Indeed, the original read, “It was 9 hours of non-stop Star Wars cantina band.”
