Songs About Money

[DMAFl]

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.?

The EBay Song, a  Weird Al song to the tune of I Want It That Way by the Back Street Boys.   Just as relevant today as it was back when he did it.  Funny stuff if that is your thing.

@DMAFl  I posted that one on the media thread. It's totally hysterical, one of his best. I've been a big fan of his for years

[DMAFl]

Weird Al is really one of a kind.  I either missed the media post or else it stuck in my mind and reminded me of spending money. TMI and FYI, there are right now about 400+ hand accordians for sale on eBay. I can't believe I looked that up. Staying home more than usual is clearly taking its toll.

Thats what I love about these posts, often I can use a song for multiple threads! Nothing wrong with that. I was so bored the other night I watched a bunch of Weird Al's videos lol. Forgot how funny they are- "Eat it" is absolutely hysterical 😂
