NFT: Your favorite song ever themed MONEY...

BlueLou : 10/17/2014 9:43 am
No doubt there have been some iconic ones, and Pink Floyd's jumps to mind first. But being a child of R& B, my favorite remains the almost unbelievably danceable "For the Love of Money" by the O'Jays.

Good call.

I was thinking of nominating, "White Man (In Hammersmith Palais)." Yours fits the bill better though.

One of his most underrated tracks. And from the earlier Willie reference, "I Gotta Get Drunk" is the best song ever about blowing a paycheck.

BlueLou : 10/18/2014 4:05 am : link
Billy Joel must've done some tune about money, at the very least an interesting cover, but just couldn't think of one as he isn't exactly a favorite artist of mine....

Bam.

Unlistenable, a reminder why white guys should tread carefully on the blues highway.

Speaking of white guys and blues gets me to David Bromberg's "The Holdup".

Excellent.
Been months since I've heard anything Zevon, that was good.
Makes me wanna stretch the premise and nominate "Werewolves of London" since it was in "The Color of Money", lol.

Satisfaction...should be considered?

Old Man River?

Brass in Pocket

Little Pink Houses

Fortunate Son

Me and Bobby McGee...busted flat in New Orleans

Songs where the writer has no money:

Crossroads

Writer who wrote the most songs but i cant think of many or any where there is any money involved at all: Dylan

Kinda weird cause he wrote about all sorts of things and has thousands of lines of written material and i am drawing a blank on money

Bringing depth and logic to the thread, well done.

Inspires me to go:

Dinah-Moe-Hum - Frank Zappa

The forty dollar bill didn't matter no more
When her sister got naked and laid on the floor
She said "Dinah- moe might win the bet
But she could use a little *yreearnn* if I wasn't done yet...

Let me ask you one question
Is your money that good
Will it buy you forgiveness
Do you think that it could
I think you will find
When your death takes its toll
All the money you made
Will never buy back your soul
And we mustn't forget  
manh george : 10/19/2014 3:50 am : link
"Brother can you spare a dime."

Once I built a railroad, I made it run
Made it race against time
Once I built a railroad, now it's done
Brother, can you spare a dime?

Thanks Rocky. It came to mind when my in-laws asked me to play poker. They think I'm a mark...

I knew I could count on many of you to get it rolling.
And one more, or rather two more (parts 1 & 2):

It's Only Money. From Argent. One of the best live Rock performances I ever saw... part 1 linked, but part 2 is even better IMO.
