There's women and money and drugs...and religion if you can work it in. --Sam Kinison.
The best things in life are free
But you can keep them for the birds and bees
Now give me money, (That's what I want)
That's what I want
--The Beatles
Money money money money...
Mark, a yen, a buck or a pound,
That clinking, clanking, clunking sound,
Is all that makes the world go 'round,
It makes the world go 'round!
--Cabaret

Must be funny
In the rich man's world
Money, money, money
Always sunny
In the rich man's world
Aha
All the things I could do
If I had a little money
It's a rich man's world
--Abba
I've seen the future and I can't afford it
--ABC
It's all about bucks, kid. The rest is conversation...--Gordon Gekko
They say money can't buy happiness? Look at the fucking smile on my face. Ear to ear, baby.--'Jim Young' in Boiler Room
