Don’t forget “Big Money” by Rush

Big money goes around the world
Big money underground
Big money got a mighty voice
Big money make no sound
Big money pull a million strings
Big money hold the prize
Big money weave a mighty web
Big money draw the flies

Sometimes pushing people around
Sometimes pulling out the rug
Sometimes pushing all the buttons
Sometimes pulling out the plug
Its the power and the glory
Its a war in paradise
Its a cinderella story
On a tumble of the dice

Big money goes around the world
Big money take a cruise
Big money leave a mighty wake
Big money leave a bruise
Big money make a million dreams
Big money spin big deals
Big money make a mighty head
Big money spin big wheels

Sometimes building ivory towers
Sometimes knocking castles down
Sometimes building you a stairway –
Lock you underground
Its that old-time religion
Its the kingdom they would rule
Its the fool on television
Getting paid to play the fool

Big money goes around the world
Big money give and take
Big money done a power of good
Big money make mistakes
Big money got a heavy hand
Big money take control
Big money got a mean streak
Big money got no soul…

I vote for the Stones' "Can't Always Get what you Want" for your radio intro because getting what you need is so much more important! Very cool idea and I enjoyed listening to old favorites.

I also agree totally with Lennon's cover of "Money" and with "Working Class Hero" and also let's toss George's "Tax Man" in there because, nothing's for sure 'cept Death and Taxes. whoa, you had me worried there wouldn’t be the requisite Beatles, McCartney or Lennon tunes in there until I got to #10.

If you haven't heard it, it's a very bubbly dance-y type pop song. It always makes me laugh-they wrote it after 9-11 when Bush made a statement about things getting back to normal, and people going shopping again etc. "Well you know that it's going to be alright I think it's gonna be alright Everything will always be alright When we go shopping Well you know that it's going to be alright When we go shopping It's always lalalalala... Shopping spree begin It's always lalalalala... Everybody wins So shutup And never stop Let's shop Until we drop [CHORUS] It's always lalalalala... Shopping never end It's always lalalalala...

“Well you know that it’s going to be alright
I think it’s gonna be alright
Everything will always be alright
When we go shopping

Well you know that it’s going to be alright
When we go shopping
It’s always lalalalala…
Shopping spree begin
It’s always lalalalala…
Everybody wins

So shutup
And never stop
Let’s shop
Until we drop

[CHORUS]

It’s always lalalalala…
Shopping never end
It’s always lalalalala…
Shopping with our friends
Shopping once again

It’s always lalalalala… [x4]

It’s never enough
Until you’ve got all the stuff
When the going gets rough
Just shop with somebody tough”

We live in a greedy little world–
That teaches every little boy and girl
To earn as much as they can possibly–
Then turn around and
Spend it foolishly
Weve created us a credit card mess
We spend the money we dont possess
Our religion is to go and blow it all
So its shoppin every sunday at the mall

All we ever want is more
A lot more than we had before
So take me to the nearest store

[chorus:]
Can you hear it ring
It makes you wanna sing
Its such a beautiful thing–ka-ching!
Lots of diamond rings
The happiness it brings
Youll live like a king
With lots of money and things

When youre broke go and get a loan
Take out another mortgage on your home
Consolidate so you can afford
To go and spend some more when
You get bored

All we ever want is more
A lot more than we had before
So take me to the nearest store

[repeat chorus]

Lets swing
Dig deeper in your pocket
Oh, yeah, ha
Come on I know youve got it
Dig deeper in your wallet
Oh

All we ever want is more
A lot more than we had before
So take me to the nearest store

[repeat chorus]

Can you hear it ring
It makes you wanna sing
Youll live like a king
With lots of money and things
Ka-ching!
