James Gorman is taking over Morgan Stanley on January 1 (4th?). Some of you (shareholders, employees) would probably appreciate a little insight from the horse’s mouth as to how he’s planning on running the place, etc. We’re not going to give that to you. What we will share is Jimbo’s favorite track to blast while hitting the bag.
During the financial crisis, Mr. Gorman…blew off steam by hitting a punching bag in a gym while listening to music. With “Back in Black,” by the Australian band AC/DC, playing, Mr. Gorman said, “you’ll definitely go faster.”
Obviously that got us thinking– what do our other favorite CEO’s listen to while whaling on their pecs or, in some cases, doing an easy 30 minutes on the Elliptical because they have bad knees? So far we’ve been able to gather the following information from various trainer/towel-boy moles. If you have any further intel please share at this time.
* Lloyd Blankfein- toss up between “We are the Champions” and “Pussy, Money, Weed”
* Vikram Pandit- “Get Your Freak On”

* Dick Fuld (he still counts)- ??

"Come feed the little birds,
show them you care.
And you'll be glad if you do.
Their young ones are hungry,
Their nests are so bare;
All it takes is tuppence from you.
Feed the birds, tuppence a bag,
Tuppence, tuppence, tuppence a bag.
"Feed the birds," that's what she cries…

-27
@27 – You know what would cheer you up, a sandwich.
@65 – I like the effort. But there's no need to crowbar that reference into this thread.
@67:
I had one already. Instead, I'm going to draw a hot bath and shampoo my hair with mayonaise.
Obama – Money Fi Spend – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RhR3uAtj8_c

@67? Theres shampoo in the mayo jar? I thought i was allergic to pickles
@70 it looks and sounds like Obama too. Is that his campaign song?
@72:
Mayonaise is much more than just a dressing!
Its useful as a hair conditioner, an antibiotic, it can be used to remove gum from your hair, it kills hair lice, makes plant leaves shiny, removes road tar and glue residue, its a fine cuticle remover, and is an effective treatment for sunburn.
If you are interested in mayonaise, I recommend contacting the American Association of Dressings and Sauces, or attending one of their "technical meetings":

obama: money to blow
@73 That was part of the Gully side campaign, but only after bombing in the Iowa market testing.
This one, however, went down a lot better with the blue collar union rallies — http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VwE_14G2ByM — when we asked about what they hoped to see in terms of national work rules from a Prez. Obama
In case anyone was wondering, this is what we sent to support Mr. Obama's nomination when we learned that he had been short listed by The Norwegian Nobel Committee.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EN-LVmiHF3A
We heard that they were speechless and clinched it for the Prez.
@Blazing 77/78 – Thanks for killing the thread.
@pfluger I realize we covered this already but how do you confuse Warren Zevon with Elvis Costello?
Damn you all. I cannot get the image of a pina colada drinking werewolf out of my head.
How the hell did no one mention Dire Straits "Money for Nothing"? That's gotta be a top 3 song for any number of Wall Street/D.C. money types.
@27 — try Warren Zevon
