I was listening to the radio shortly after I read about mind movies and I heard this song by Calloway.
It was a song that I love when I was a kid. Very catchy and easy to follow.
And the words are like so nice!
Then it got me thinking about using this song for one of my projects.
The lyrics are below:
I Wanna Be Rich Lyrics
[i]
Cash cold that's what I need
These bill collectors they ring my phone
They bother me when I'm not at home
Ain't go no time to be fooling round
Feet touch the floors and I get on down, you see
Chorus:
I want money lots and lots of money
I want the pie in the sky
I want money lots and lots of money
So don't be asking me why
I wanna be rich oh
I wanna be rich
I wanna be rich oh
I wanna be rich
For a little love peace and happiness
I want my cake wanna eat it too
I want the stars and the silver moon
I spend my money of lottery
My favourite number is 1 2 3, you see
Chorus
Everyway rich
Love peace and happiness
I want all the things that lovers do
A pocketfull of dreams come true
Everything you can not find
Want you by my side?
That keep you satisfied and rich
Here is what you gonna do
Say oh I say uh uh
Got to be baby
I just wanna be rich
I just wanna be, just wanna be
Cause baby
Chorus
Be rich I wanna be rich
I know what I mean baby
Everyday and everyway
Play baby there is lots for everyone
[/i]
Do you have a song you like that has lyrics that relate to money?

I tried to find it man... my friend sent it to me, maybe even twice. But gmail search is shi-t-tier than shi-t (please myLot, everyone sh-its. Please let me use shhhhitt. 
) and I can't find anything after trying a million search words. I was thinking to upload it somewhere for you...
Then I thought, hey! Maybe the song is online already. In fact, it is quite likely.
Lo and behold... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZepXqnHAkd0
People even added pictures. So cute. Got competition some more. Another at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t5RKHR5RKUU . I like the first one better though. There might be even more. If you come across, tell me.

Thanks for all the links wizard.
It is so nice to be able to listen to them as and when I wish.
Hmm... I wonder where they managed to get the song from.
If only I could save it up on my disk. Then transfer it to my handphone so that I can listen to it on the go as well.

I may be a few years older than you since i was already in high school when this song became a hit. I like it too, because, as you have said, it's very catchy. I don't mind the lyrics, only the melody. About other songs that relates to money, try Madonna's Material Girl.

Hmm... material girl is a nice song. I too like to hear it when I was a kid.
Very nice song which was a big hit.
I remember singing along with it whenever it was on the radio. Heh heh... those were the times eh?
Hmm... but the song is not really suitable for the project I have in mind.
Erm... any other recommendations?

Hi wizard,
cannot deny that the song is a little old. It was very popular back in the early eighties. First time I heard it was on my fathers newly installed hi-fi.
That was like so darn long ago.
And we still get to hear it once in a while on the radio.
Love the catchy tune and interesting lyrics!
