Woolworths Australia Theme Song from pre 2008

[WRX2001]

despicable company

[MelbStevo]

@WRX2001 agreed. except the bug eye is too, nah jks bug stis actually look tough! its an acquired taste.

[bess1953]

They are an anti family company! They own more poker machines than anyone in Australia!!!!!!!!!!

[mmmail1969]

@bess1953 - so, how does owning poker machines make a person or entity "anti family"? If people have gambling issues, they, the people themselves, should take responsibility! Woolworths also donates millions of dollars every year to community concerns. [I'm not employed by Woolworths]

[bess1953]

@mmmail1969 They are anti family because they profit from families misery. It is easy to say 'personal responsibility',but addicts are just that addicts. Families are torn apart by gambling,Woolworths know this,and yet choose to buy poker machines,knowing a huge amount of their profit is from problem gamblers.If that's not anti family,I don't know what is.

[mmmail1969]

@bess1953 - 1) how do you know they profit from "families misery"? 2) Personal responsibility is just that - personal responibility, no-one puts a gun to anyones head and says you HAVE to gamble. 3) why pick on poker machines - horse racing, scratch-it tickets, church raffles, sports betting - what about all them?

[bess1953]

@mmmail1969 I answered that in my last post.

Why are you such a staunch supporter?

[mmmail1969]

@bess1953 - answered what? Why should I not support Woolworths and similar organisations, I'm not aware they break any law, nor do their critics have a monopoly on truth!

[bess1953]

@mmmail1969 No,why are you such a staunch supporter,you don't seem to want to answer that.

They,and Coles,do a lot of harm to Australain farmers for starters...do some research.

[mmmail1969]

@bess1953 - I stated 4 days ago I'm not an employee of Woolworths - years ago I was, not now. If you don't like supermarket chains there are plenty of alternates - also give North Koreas food retail businesses a go - see how things work when the govt dictates everything - like how much you can put into a poker machine!

[bess1953]

@mmmail1969 Of all the stupid comments I've read,yours takes the cake!! North Korea??????

You are a fuckwit!!!!!

[mmmail1969]

@bess1953 - mmmmm thought so, a few home truths get pointed out and the four letter words fly - gotya! ;)

[bess1953]

@mmmail1969 Home truths?Actually it was the North Korean comment that shocked me. I just can't believe that someone is in love with Woolworths!

They have screwed Australian farmers for years,driven some of the land because of their predatory pricing,closed down competition by selling their produce for a loss,so that local fruit shops have had to close!

And you're in love with them??

Do you listen to the theme song to go to sleep too?

[mmmail1969]

@bess1953 - and I sing it in the shower.....Go Wooollllies!

[bess1953]

@mmmail1969 Pretty sad for a 42 yr old!!

[mmmail1969]

@bess1953 @bess1953 - not really, having a regular shower is a good way to promote personal hygiene, give it ago sometime, you might like it - you can even add to the experience by having a little sing-song, like, ...Woolworths the Fresh Food People.....laa daaa, laaa daaa.....

[bess1953]

@mmmail1969 I prefer,"Woolworths the flesh food people"

[Wingstar6790]

Can you plz send me this tune in mp3 format. Thanking you.

[struckm]

[benf99]

[ezfreckles]

wow, I sometimes still hear this when I'm working!

[duwax]

fuck woolies

[sunnysoundblackpool]

tescos the fresh food people

[ConnexTrains]

Safeway "The fresh food people"..............

[victurn1]

hi, i really need the mp3 of this, my son works for WW and doin him a dvd for his 21st... love to throw this random tune in, hope you can help

[airobsessed]

haha i soooo remember dis one weneva i was in woolies i allways wud sing to it lol

[aydanpop]

I prefer this one to the- 'We are we are...we are we are, the fresh food people' version. I work at woolies and i would have to say that this song is heaps better, they use it occasionally still. What is much worse than the theme song is the crappy music we play. Some of it is okay- but the majority of it gives me a headache. The constant *BEEP* also contributes to the headache. (I figured out how to turn the BEEP down tho)

[madhardcorenick]

haha god don't get me started about the "We are we are" and the songs what they play. It horrible and what make it worse is that its the same song over and over again and they wont change it. thank god im not working there anymore

[somegronk]

haha we turn our beeps up to piss people off!!

[ctyr399]

Ok This is Keeping it Simple MoneyMoneyMoneyMoneyMoneyMoney­MoneyMoneyMoneyMoneyMoneyMoney­MoneyMoney

[killalegend]

i work at woolies and i am sick of the song

[Totaly14]

haha! tell me about it, i go there every week and it plays like 3 times in half an hour. haha!

[BleedingEdgeTech]

We are the fresh food peopleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[nirroca]

no word of a lie, i still hum this song.  i prefer it to the new one. isn't this still the 'on hold' song for phonecalls?

[rolande1990]

this one is 100x better than the new one

[robdob16]

I do a regular wednesday night supervision. Every second week i buy pizza or something for all the staff. I even allow for other departments. THat shows staff, if they work hard they will be rewarded. so yeah look i mean i know supermarket jobs arent the best job around, but it can be very rewarding. I appreciate everyone is different but i am sure we all come to the same general consensus. If we give, we shall get

[robdob16]

i know a lot of times the "peasants" will be exploited, abused, mistreated and generally given shit work to do at times, but i think sometimes it comes back to the cashier. If you dont give a shit, customers wont have respect, nor will the supervisors and hence no body has a good time. When i am in charge of front end, i will treat staff with the same level of respect i would want. They talk back to me and disobey me, i give them harder jobs. Fair is Fair

[smojms]

i started working at woolies when i was 14. i worked on the checkout for 4 years and now i work in the office. for a start, woolworths are an evil business who rip off workers and treat them like shit... but we work there coz we need money. now im smart. i work there coz im working towards a degree so i will never have to have such a shit job again. having worked on the checkout i have experienced being treated like a number, and now i can see it at the higher up level. its a reality!!

[robdob16]

ok fair enough when looking at the situation, it does seem like we are treated like numbers. But i find with my store that supervisors, managers or cashiers can have a say and be given the same respect. I have been advancing through as a repected supervisor and even when i was doing full on checkouts i had respect

I don't do my job for the big managers, directors or ceo's, i do it for the customers and for myself...

[ranganorman1993]

but the managers make or break it! my manager hates me - i was shopping there today with my sister and smiled at her. she rolled her eyes, then muttered something to a nearby supervisor and shook her head. my managers are power-brokers and bully the humble service cashiers!

[robdob16]

i dont wanna make this an all out argument, but i'm quite happy to stand up for what i believe in and if it means telling you what i think then by all means give it your best. Yes i work at a supermarket, but without them who would have dinner at the table? I'm sure you wouldnt be to keen as to provide food for 20 million australians every single day

[vsboy25]

you need to GET OF OF THERE they have corrupt your brain cells.anyway gon on work there i need people cleaning my spills in the isle anyway.

trust funds are the way to go mate.

[robdob16]

look mate, i never said it was the best job in the world, and i never will. But i have something you probably dont PRIDE, i take pride in what i do. Maybe you dont have any pride in the toilets you clean, but there are decent people working for the company. Yes i hate the place sometimes, in fact i could easily leave the place. but after all, its been an experience and one day i might leave thinking i shoulda quit ages ago thats my choice. and no they havent corrupted me i CHOOSE to work there!!

[robdob16]

i also happen to be holding a supervisory position and soon perhaps to be a weekend duty manager

again believe what you like, but because my family weren't millionaires doesnt mean i can't be successful

[vsboy25]

this guy robdob16 is a kid with no fucken idea.people who worked for this company and were great workers but were kicked out because they got so called to expensive. Will happen to you to Robbie boy.

Get a fucken life this company only cares about its bottom line not some loser fag like you with no fucken life to get a real fucken job.

Woolworths is all about a good PA campaign but people within the business know they all dont give a fuck Self serve is there to get fags like you out of work

[robdob16]

Sorry lets clarify one thing here vsboy25. Coming from someone who has a "privileged family" whos parents are in "SENIOR MANAGEMENT"and who attended a "strict boys Private school". I don't know you, but i assume because of your family's financial situation, you might** never have to work a single day of your "privileged" life. I understand your dislike of the company and you are entitled to your opinion, but by lashing out at me who i can tell you has worked extremely hard for everything i own..

[vsboy25]

wow robbie boy what do you own a used car and been a check out bitch.

take your fucked up little job and clean my spills when i come in your store drunk you hopeless pussy.

i do come from cash so what i derseve all the best money can buy.

[robdob16]

hahaha i find that funny that you should assume i have no money, i can assure you in the 18 months or so that i have worked at the company i have earned close to $25,000. I have FULLY paid off a car Holden Vectra 04 and now seeking a deposit on a house

It's your choice whether you believe it, but i can tell you it's all true

[vsboy25]

go on robbie soon you be a millionaire workin at woolies at the end of the day you work at a fucken supermarket so get a life.

i rather be dead than work at a supermarket buddy boy.

[themit0]

Everyone who has requested the song via prviate message to me, and provided their emails should have received the song by email.

[esonic64]

As a woolworths employee i really miss this theme, the new one gets on my neves after about an hour off it :(

[bubzie29]

I win, i win, try being on hold to your department at work, and for ..TWENTY minutes, having nothing else to listen to on the phone but "we are, we are, the fresh food peopleeeeeeee"

[NRL007]

i love doing that i put it on loudspeaker and sing

[ZomgItsBrittee]

Lmao.

Good Old woolies xD

[NRL007]

you serious i like the new one, but lately they have been playing both, every like 15 minutes ! lol

[vsboy25]

This song is pathetic lacks any real substance and borderlines on making people insane. For gods sake Woolworths put some effort into your hopeless ads and music.

The Company has notorious reputation for its tough budgeting and poor treatment of employees as I think heavyweights like this business should face more tougher union demands on there management group.

[Camzasaur]

vsboy get your facts right I work at woolworths and I get treated really well, however, before woolworths, i worked at McDonalds, now THEY treat their staff like shit.

[vsboy25]

Make No mistake Woolworths is an Apocalyptic evil business. They treat workers like numbers an nothing more.

They run the business like a military machine where your out the door once you become too expensive for the most profitable retailer in Australia.

Have No illusions Woolworths will do anything for a good public relations image but there staff are treated like shit and that is an understatement.

ps theme song lacks any real thought or substance a 2 year old could have done better

[skallywag99]

this 1 is so much fukin better than the old 1

[dbelco]

This is the version you get when ya on hold :D

[themit0]

I can't say where I got it- it wasn't online. But if you'd like the mp3 version for your iPods, phones or just playing without YouTube, send me a private message and I can give it to you.

[robdob16]

i have checked nearly every website and search engine there is and i cannot get ahold of the original 1min version, let alone the 3 min one, can you please tell me/us how to find it?? sad as it is i actually like the song. BTW ive never heard the 3min one...

[jasonrinaldi]

haha XD

i work at woolies and this song always comes on and it sucks haha how did u get the song?? hahaha :P

[themit0]

Can't tell you how I got it- insider sources...

[baekhyme]

I used to work as a nightfiller at woolworths for about 4months, and whenever I go there to work for a night, they play this music all the time for 4hours long.

[themit0]

They should let nightfill just play their own music- there are no customers

[esikil]

We used to do that by hooking up the paging phone to a stereo. Generally someone would always complain they don't like the music we hooked up, so we screwed that option and suffer the Woolies playlist. Also they took away the stereo :P

[markcommodore]

Happen to work there? I love the subtitles. :)

[Branbl7]

lol

[labuff83]

This sounds like its been recorded off the phone, when ur put on hold!

[freedyx67]

Woolworths the shit food people!

[themit0]

I know- I normally work at night and the music is OK except that its the same, but when I did some shopping at 7am, I heard Country, 30's and 40's music (or it sounded like that) and I was wondering what was going on.

[ZomgItsBrittee]

Sounds like disco music right?

Rofl.

[hsm29]

does anyone else notice that really really old and horrible songs come on early in the morning and then the songs start getting lil better?

[l2ainie]

yes,it's supposed to ease our minds and make us work better while setting up. The only song I like is that one by Carpenters.

[bubzie29]

haha, its quite the opposite!!

[themit0]

I only work at night/afternoon. Songs are OK at night.

[stevekerno]

Dude! if you could get the new one that would be awesome!

[themit0]

Can't track down the new one without TV voiceovers at the moment, working on it.

[stevekerno]

Working there, when i call the store they have the full tune when on hold! lol... would make an awesome ringtone to piss off work mates!

[themit0]

It would- drop me a private message and I'll send you the mp3.

[robdob16]

i suppose no body has the 3 minute version??

if so please reply thanks

[themit0]

No, very hard to get

[craigs1500]

glad its gone used to drive me insane playing on cue like every 45 minutes~ still played even at 5am in the morning

[themit0]

Would rather hear this at 5am in the morning than the new one.

[theguyfromaustralia]

Yeah I know what you mean, it's worse. Does your store have the new soundtrack?

[themit0]

Yes, they are all linked by satelite.

[robdob16]

cheers mate!!!

I know im gonna get crap hung on me for saying so but i love this theme

The new one sucks bring this one back

thanks again

[themit0]

no probs
