<![CDATA[Top 10 Songs About Money]]> Report October 14, 2009

As I found out with a Google search, the top songs about money list has been done many times before...but there's nothing saying I can't do it better!

I've made a playlist of the Top 10 for your enjoyment here (signup to imeem is free)...unfortunately, I had to use a cover version of #1.

Without further ado:

10) Take the Money and Run โ€“ Steve Miller Band

9) Money For Nothing โ€“ Dire Straits

๐Ÿ˜Ž If Youโ€™ve got the money, Iโ€™ve got the time โ€“ Willie Nelson

All three are vying for the official song of Wall Street...my favorite unintentionally appropriate line about high finance from Steve Miller: "He makes his livin off of the peoples taxes"

7) Fortunate Son โ€“ Creedence Clearwater Revival

So angry. So awesome.

6) Opportunities (Letโ€™s Make Lotโ€™s of Money) โ€“ Pet Shop Boys

Was #1 on the charts in March 2009.

5) Canโ€™t Buy Me Love โ€“ The Beatles

4) Moโ€™ Money, Moโ€™ Problems โ€“ Notorious B.I.G.

If this recession has taught us anything, money ain't THAT important.

3) Sell Out โ€“ Reel Big Fish

That said...

2) If I Had a Million Dollars โ€“ Barenaked Ladies

Contrarians love green dresses.

1) Money Talks โ€“ AC/DC

It's like a love song to the advantages of money.

B-Sides (Songs that didn't make the cut, but maybe should have)

Money, Money, Money โ€“ ABBA

She Works Hard for the Money โ€“ Donna Summer

I Wanna Be Rich โ€“ CallowayMoney โ€“ Pink Floyd

Ride Wit Me โ€“ Nelly (Hey, must be the money!)

All About the Benjamins โ€“ P Diddy

Lifeโ€™s Been Good - Joe Walsh

About 20 other songs from AC/DC (Back in Black, Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap, etc.)

What have I missed?

- DJ A...aka Anand Chokkavelu...aka TMFBomb

echoes is one of the dumbest songs i have ever heard (aside from "there coming to take me away, ha ha). it is a 10 minute long instrumental with 3 minutes of lyrics. i respect your opinion, but i have always thought that pink floyd was overrated: not as much as the stones or doors, but still overrated.

Well. I'm a little bit biased as a huge Floyd fan, but regarding "Echoes" either you get it, or you don't. Beethoven's 5th is a 20 minute long instrumental, get the connection now? Echoes is the first electronic symphony. I can recognize Richard Wright's electronic "beep" on the first note as well as Ludwig's famous Da-da-da-dah........

PS not putting the Floyd's "Money" or "Have a Cigar" on that list is about criminal, or damn ignorant.

"We're just knocked out,

we heard about the sell out

you gotta get an album out

we're so happy we can hardly count"

Also it's not quite fair to Pink Floyd to look at them from a song-by-song perspective. Almost every one of their albums was based on a concept.

LSD and Acid lol
