Favorite Money Song?

Re: Favorite Money Song?

"Sixteen Tons" by Tennessee Ernie Ford

"You load sixteen tons, what do you get
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store"

Re: Favorite Money Song?

FOR THE LOVE OF MONEY

Money money money money, money
Some people, got to have it
Some people, really need it
Listen to me y'all, do things, do things, do bad things with it
You wanna do things, do things, do things, good things with it
Talk about cash money, money
Talk about cash money- dollar bills, y’all

For the love of money
People will steal from their mother
For the love of money
People will rob their own brother
For the love of money
People can't even walk the street
Because they never know who in the world they're gonna beat
For that lean, mean, mean green
Almighty dollar, money

For the love of money
People will lie, Lord, they will cheat
For the love of money
People don't care who they hurt or beat
For the love of money
A woman will sell her precious body
For a small piece of paper it carries a lot of weight
Call it lean, mean, mean green

Almighty dollar

I know money is the root of all evil
Do funny things to some people
Give me a nickel, brother can you spare a dime
Money can drive some people out of their minds

Got to have it, I really need it
How many things have I heard you say
Some people, really need it
How many things have I heard you say
Got to have it, I really need it
How many things have I heard you say
Lay down, lay down, a woman will lay down
For the love of money
All for the love of money
Don't let, don't let, don't let money rule you
For the love of money
Money can change people sometimes
Don't let, don't let, don't let money fool you
Money can fool people sometimes
People! Don't let money, don't let money change you,
it will keep on changing, changing up your mind.

The O'Jays

Re: Favorite Money Song?

Do you remember the movie "Can't Buy Me Love" they also played the song that you are mentioning?

Re: Favorite Money Song?

It’s also used on “The Apprentice”, from what I’m told. I’ve never watched. Not a Trump fan.

Saving Advice Playlist?

Silly post, I know, but I can't help it. DH was listening to a "60's Flashback" show on the radio this morning, and they just played a song called Low Budget by the Kinks. I don't remember ever hearing it before, and it really cracked me up, with such immortal lines as:

"Excuse my shoes they don't quite fit
They're a special offer and they hurt me a bit
Even my trousers are giving me pain
They were reduced in a sale so I shouldn't complain"

Might as well keep a sense of humor about things. Does anyone else have a song or poem that pops to mind about money? The only other thing I can think of off hand is Tax Man by the Beatles.

One that was not on that list, was "Money, honey!

Re: Saving Advice Playlist?

A poem of my own.....

"Cash"

She left me, I can't believe it,
I thought she was amused by my wit!
Sayin "Get Outta Here! I don't need you,
I'm happy without you!"
I am such a fool!

We used to be seen at the hot spots,
Nights hot and sweatin, drinkin to cool down.
Knowing we'd be together forever,
1000 to one odds, I'm bettin.

Now, she's playin me,
Never wants to be seen with me.
Without her, my face's gotta sheen,
as my telephone rings.

Landlord, credit card, bank,
Hitting me up.
Askin for Larry, sayin'
"I'm james, what's up?"

Lonely nights, cravin somethin else
than bread and water,
Sayin, "Come on back, Cash,
I don't need Morality,
I want you instead of her."

Knowin that women don't want Johnny broke,
They want Johnny Cash, The man in the black, to buy them things.
But it's tough, waiting for her to change her mind,
Knowin she'll be back someday, sometime.

I Want it all - Queen off of "The Miracle"

I want it all
I want it all
I want it all
and I want it now

Adventure seeker on an empty street
Just an alley creeper light on his feet
A young fighter screaming with no time for doubt
With the pain and anger can't see a way out
It ain't much I'm asking I heard him say
Gotta find me a future move out of my way

I want it all
I want it all
I want it all
and I want it now

I want it all
I want it all
I want it all
and I want it now

Listen all you people come gather round
I gotta get me a game plan gotta shake you to the ground
Just give me what I know is mine
People do you hear me just give me the sign
It ain't much I'm asking if you want the truth
Here's to the future for the dreams of youth

I want it all (give it all)
I want it all
I want it all
and I want it now

I want it all (yes I want it all)
I want it all (hey)
I want it all
and I want it now

I'm a man with a one track mind
So much to do in one life time
Not a man for compromise and where's and why's and living lies
So I'm living it all (yes I'm living it all)
And I'm giving it all (and I'm giving it all)

Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
I want it all all all all

It ain't much I'm asking if you want the truth
Here's to the future
Hear the cry of youth (hear the cry, hear the cry of youth)

I want it all
I want it all
I want it all
and I want it now
I want it all (yeah yeah yeah)
I want it all
I want it all
and I want it now

I want it
Now
I want it I want it

Re: Favorite Money Song?

I'm with PricePlus, Pink Floyd's "Money"

Also, Tracy Chapmans's tune, Mountains o' Things is a good song, worth a listen

The life I've always wanted
I guess I'll never have
I'll be working for somebody else
Until I'm in my grave
I'll be dreaming of a live of ease
And mountains
Oh mountains o' things

To have a big expensive car
Drag my furs on the ground
And have a maid that I can tell
To bring me anything
Everyone will look at me with envy and with greed
I'll revel in their attention
And mountains
Oh mountains o' things

Sweet lazy life
Champagne and caviar
I hope you'll come and find me
Cause you know who we are
Those who deserve the best in life
And know what money's worth
And those whose sole misfortune
Was having mountains o' nothing at birth

Oh they tell me
There's still time to save my soul
They tell me
Renounce all
Renounce all those material things you gained by
Exploiting other human beings

Consume more than you need
This is the dream
Make you pauper
Or make you queen
I won't die lonely
I'll have it all prearranged
A grave that's deep and wide enough
For me and all my mountains o' things

Mostly I feel lonely
Good good people are
Good people are only
My stepping stones
It's gonna take all my mountains o' things
To surround me
Keep all my enemies away
Keep my sadness and loneliness at bay

I'll be dreaming, dreaming...
Dreaming...

Ka-Ching Lyrics
Artist(Band):Shania Twain


We live in a greedy little world
that teaches every little boy and girl
To earn as much as they can possibly
Then turn around and spend it foolishly
We've created us a credit card mess
We spend the money that we don't possess
Our religion is to go and blow it all
So it's shoppin' every Sunday at the mall

Oh,all we ever want is more
A lot more than we had before
So take me to the nearest store
Can you hear it ring
It makes you wanna sing
It's such a beautiful thing
Ka-ching!
Lots of diamond rings
The happiness it brings
You'll live like a king
With lots of money and things

When you're broke, go and get a loan
Take out another mortgage on your home
Consolidate so you can afford
To go and spend some more when you get bored

Oh,all we ever want is more
A lot more than we had before
So take me to the nearest store
Can you hear it ring
It makes you wanna sing
It's such a beautiful thing
Ka-ching!
Lots of diamond rings
The happiness it brings
You'll live like a king
With lots of money and things

Let's swing
Dig deeper in your pocket
Oh, yeah, ah!
Come on I know you've got it
Dig deeper in your wallet
Oh

All we ever want is more
A lot more than we had before
So take me to the nearest store
Can you hear it ring
It makes you wanna sing
It's such a beautiful thing
Ka-ching!

Lots of diamond rings
The happiness it brings
You'll live like a king
With lots of money and things
Can you hear it ring
It makes you wanna sing
You'll live like a king
With lots of money and things
Ka-ching!
