Monday is Labor Day, which means it's a good time to turn to the hardest-working man in the annoying-music business: Jim Nayder, a man with whom every conversation is a labor of love. In a recent interview with Weekend Edition Saturday host Scott Simon, Nayder -- host of The Annoying Music Show! produced at Chicago Public Radio -- describes a passel of tunes with which to wind down the summer.

"Juanita Banana," J.R. Corvington
