"Take This Job and Shove It" is a song by David Allan Coe about the bitterness of a man who worked long and hard with no apparent reward. The song was famously covered by Johnny Paycheck. The song was also covered in a more upbeat style by the Dead Kennedys on their album Bedtime for Democracy.

It is most recently known for its use by many websites and radio stations - individuals can have a local radio station call and quit their job for them on the air by playing the song, or can send an email with the song through several websites.^{[citation needed]}
