I'm sure all of you Dunderheads have had a time in your life when you immediately think of Andy Bernard when you hear "Sweeney Todd," or want to lift a speaker over your head when "Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)" comes on. Here are 17 songs that you can never listen to the same way again, all because of "The Office."

1. "Stayin' Alive"

Thanks to Michael's first aid training, we all know that "Stayin' Alive," has the perfect beats per minute for CPR.

As long as you start at the chorus and not the beginning of the song...

2."Closing Time"

Thanks to the office, and Stanley, you'll always know that "Closing Time" means it's time to go home.

3. "Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)"

Don't we all want to lift a speaker over our head and dance when this song comes on?

4. "We Belong"

Anytime you hear the Pat Benatar classic, all you can think of is Kelly singing karaoke to her crush, Ryan.

5. "Goodbye Stranger"

Or as "The Office," fans know it as "Goodbye Toby." Michael didn't hold back any of his emotions when Toby was leaving for Costa Rica.

6. "Seasons of Love"

Whenever you hear this song you automatically think back to when Michael was leaving Dunder Mifflin and the employees changed the lyrics to the popular song to fit the situation and make us all bawl our eyes out.

7. "We Didn't Start the Fire"

All of us remember when Ryan started a fire by toasting his cheese pita too long, dubbing Ryan "The Fire Guy." Now we can't sing "We Didn't Start the Fire," without adding Ryan's name in there.

8. "Mambo Number Five"

"A little bit of Angela on the thing..."

9. "Just Dance"

You might not sing "Just Dance," any differently, but you'll always think of Michael Scott pulling up in his beloved Sebring while listening to Lady Gaga.

10. "Lazy Scranton"

Dr. Dre and Ice Cube might be straight out of Compton, but Michael Scott and Dwight Schrute are straight out of Scranton.

Once you hear this song, it's stuck in your head for the rest of your life.

11. "Hot Hot Hot"

You'll always want to play the steel drums just like Michael Scott when he returned from his Jamaican vacation with Jan.

12. "Forever"

This song will always remind you of Jim and Pam's wedding when Pam specifically said she didn't want the song "Forever," played, but her officemates danced down the aisle to it anyway.

13. "Sweeney Todd"


Most people may think Johnny Depp or the original Broadway production when they hear "Sweeney Todd" but Dunderheads will always remember Andy's flawless cover of the hit musical.

14. "Nobody But Me "

Remember when the Scranton branch did the best Lip Dub ever?

15. "Physical"

Anytime the Olivia Newton-John classic comes on, you'll think of Holly and Michael teaching the employees all about ethics (while wearing some sick sweatbands).

16. "Shabooya, Roll Call"

Most people probably remember "Shabooya, Roll Call" from "Bring It On" but "The Office" fans will remember it from Kevin's flawless rendition.

"My name is Kevin...that is my name...they call me Kevin...'cause that's my name!"

17. "The Office" Theme Song

This is one is basically a cumulation of all of the memories that Dunder Mifflin's Scranton Branch brought to every single fan of "The Office."

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
