But if you’re all about the destination, then take a f*ing flight.
We’re going nowhere slowly, but we’re seeing all the sights.

but you can give them to the birds and bees!
Barrett Strong - ( New Window )

by Ted Dibiase

I said how could you do it we swore each other everlasting love

I said yeah I know we did but there was one thing we weren't thinking of

And that's money

Money changes everything

Small Change (Got Rained on with his own .38).

(Alternately, for something more literally about money, Step Right Up, off the same album.)

Simon & Garfunkel's The Boxer begins with "I am just a Poor boy..."

Great song but not truly money themed.

From his Mess O' Blues live album. It is a fun rockin' listen.
It's Only Money, Jeff Healey Band, Mess O' Blues - ( New Window )

Tommy James -Mony Mony

I know it's Mony and not money but too good of a song not to throw in here anyway since it is sooo close.

Yeah that one was really good too

.

"Squandered my resistance for a pocketful of mumbles, such are promises". Could be considered monetary...

They say that money cannot buy you love but guess what?
It can buy you a half a pound of cocaine
and a sixteen year old girl
and a great big long limousine on a hot September night
It had may not be love, but it's all right.

The Beach Boys "409" only because it has the lines

"Well I saved my pennies and I saved my dimes, for I knew there would be a time, that I would buy a brand new 409"

I sing that one to my daughter (she likes it) so I had to add that one for sentimental reasons.

.

...

I guess I didn't read the OP careful enough. I thought it was just trying to list any you could think of.

you only give me your funny paper...

Carry on

Forever in Blue Jeans - Neil Diamond

Money talks, but it don't sing and dance and it don't talk...

At least I hadn't posted Donna Simmer's She works hard for her money

.

His guitar work on money still might be my favorite.

Pennies from Heaven.

I have the same typing problem steve...

Spendin' my money all over this town.
I wouldn't be dog-gone,
I'd be long gone."

- Marvin Gaye

One of my favorite moments from the 9 Floyd/Waters shows I've seen is Roger's "In The Flesh" tour when Andy Fairweather Low came out jammin on the steel guitar during "Money"

Thanks for that LOL I damn near peed in my chair; good thing Deion didn't quit his day job...

Stevie Wonder does a great cover, of course, linked.
Money, that's what I want! - ( New Window )

Spinal Tap .

Also a great tune from my favorite little band...Thrupenny Tears by The Trashcan Sinatras.

but I didn't see the Beatles version of "Money".

In Germany.

Fantastic song. One of my all time favorites.

Money Changes Everything.

No truer words have ever been sung.

by The Clash?

For Zevon, can't hit the link yet, I'm assuming it's Lawyers guns and money

Dad, get me out of this...

A cool acoustic 12 string of it by Warren Solo on the BBC back in 1994.

How about Terry Reid's "Rich Kid's Blues" from 1969?

Good call.

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

Soon Forget - Pearl Jam

.

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.

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".

" Wealth's a disease and I am the cure... "
Link - ( New Window )

by the Eagles. A young woman marries a rich old man with hands as cold as ice.

moreso than blue. It was way ahead of it's time.

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.

And his hair was perfect


Draw blood...

What Do You Do For Money Honey

A bullet had found him
His blood ran as he cried
No money could save him
So he laid down and died

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

Hooker With a Penis

A song in response to accusations of the band selling out.

but "Luck be a Lady" by Sinatra is pretty awesome.

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...

Be back after the ND game...

MasterCard - Albert Collins
Meeting Across the River - Springsteen
Movin' out - Billy Joel

Nice...

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

"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.

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.
