9 To 59 to 5 is a phrase which refers to the time at which most blue-collar employees work each day. These hours are the standard business hours in the United States and are an incarnation of the eight-hour day.
9 to 5 is a 1980 film comedy about working women living out the fantasy of getting even with the male boss. It starred Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin and Dolly Parton in her film debut. The title song was written and performed by Parton gaining an Academy Award nomination and a Grammy Award. It was also #78 on American Film Institute's 100 years, 100 songs.
"9 to 5" is also the title of a popular song recorded by Sheena Easton in 1980, becoming her first major hit. The title of the song was changed to "Morning Train (9 to 5)" for North American release to avoid confusion with the Dolly Parton song mentioned, above. It's interesting to note the extreme differences between the two "9 to 5" songs, even though they were recorded the same year. Parton's song is about female liberation (as is the movie), while Easton's song is about a woman who waits at home all day for her man to come home from work.
