Songs About Money

Money. Some of us are standing in long lines to get into stores to spend it.  And we can't forget that it's tax time, so some of us are getting those refunds and some of us are getting ready to ante up.  And all the while, investment values are bouncing around like out of control tennis balls.   Maybe it's the root of all evil, but that cookie jar cash stash is not such a bad thing.  Musicians sure have a lot to say about it.  How about some songs about money, or spending it, or shopping  with it (yay) , etc.?

    Idiot Wind: Dylan

    (They say I shot a man named Gray and took his wife to Italy; she inherited a million bucks and when she died it came to me; I can't help it if I'm lucky).

    1. Thank you for posting this really freaky Aerosmith song,  Sort of in the same class as your Billion Dollar Babies post.

    Living In The City-Stevie Wonder

     

    His father works some days for fourteen hours
    And you can bet he barely makes a dollar
    His mother goes to scrub the floors for many
    And you'd best believe she hardly gets a penny
    Living just enough, just enough for the city

    The Ballad Of Frankie Lee And Judas Priest: Dylan (so when Frankie Lee needed money one day, Judas quickly pulled out a roll of tens).
