Dirty Jobs

Dirty Jobs with Mike Rowe

Dirty Jobs Theme Song is entitled “We Care a Lot.” It is an old song by the band “Faith No More”, and was included in their first two albums—We Care a Lot and Introduce Yourself, released in 1985 and 1987 respectively. Basically, it has the lyrics “Oh, it’s a dirty job but someone’s gotta do it,” which makes it perfect for the show.

Furthermore, in 2007, the theme song was temporarily replaced with a more generic theme song because of rights issues. Moreover, if you’d like, we have prepared a Scrubs Theme Song for all of you.

However, you might be looking for that “official, unofficial Dirty Jobs theme song.” If you’re familiar with the show, there was an episode where a viewer wrote to Mike and asked about his days as an opera singer—true story.

So, it gave birth to a song, accompanied by a guitar and a banjo, with constantly changing lyrics, but always ends with the line “all you got to do is get yourself a dirty job.”

Lyrics

We care a lot
We care a lot

We care a lot about disasters, fires, floods and killer bees
We care a lot about the NASA shuttle falling in the sea
We care a lot about starvation and the food that Live Aid bought
We care a lot about disease, baby Rock, Hudson, rock, yeah

We care a lot

We care a lot about the gamblers and the pushers and the freaks
We care a lot about the people who live on the street
We care a lot about the welfare of all the boys and girls
We care a lot about you people ’cause we’re out to save the world, yeah
