I'm looking for songs about team-building...
So, I'm attending a "team-building" conference on Monday/Tuesday and have to put together a slide show for the end of festivities on Tuesday.
Can anyone recommend a song that involves team building, team work or anything that is both positive and work related? Or just something catchy that fits with pictures of people sitting at conference tables all day?

Response by poster: Great suggestions!
Just wanted to add that it's a bit of an older crowd made up of government executives, so something maybe a little older would be in order?
(I'm just the lowly student who gets to take pictures, and while my knowledge is classic rock isn't that limited, I don't remember any songs about teamwork in my parents' music collection...)

The Beatles track "Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite!" features a team coming together to put on a show.

Use the theme from the Olympics - instantly recognizable and positive.
A few years ago, we had a 3 day meeting with an Olympics theme. The meeting ended with all of our senior leaders playing the Olympics theme on kazoos and tom tom drums. We had a 60 second video of that posted to the company intranet. It made all those folks seem much more likable and approachable.

Caveat: all the songs below are horrible, and I happen to personally hate them, but that doesn't mean they won't work in this setting.
"Nothing's Gonna Stop Us" -- Starship
"Simply the Best" -- Tina Turner
"We Didn't Start the Fire" -- Billy Joel
"Don't Stop Believin'" -- Journey

"Yellow Submarine" - Beatles evokes camaraderie. I swear there's a Cake song that would fit, but I can't think of it.

This thread is closed to new comments.
Queen's We Are The Champions is almost sort of a cliche for these sorts of things. Also this thread might have some good ideas. This one, too.
