Money,Money, Money, Money - not the Abba track

[brentfordfan]

It's by someone like The Four Tops. Wonderful funky tune from the '70s, I would guess. Any ideas, peeps?

This springs to mind - but doesn't really fit your description!!

Artist: Barrett Strong
Song: Money (That's What I Want)

The best things in life are free
Fm
But you can keep 'em for the birds and bees;

Now give me money, (that's what I want) that's what I want,
(That's what I want) That's what I want (That's what I want) yeah,
That's what I want.

Your lovin' give me such a thrill,
But your lovin' don't pay my bills;

[refrain]

Money don't get everything it's true,
What it don't get I can't use;

[refrain]

Well, now give me money, (That's what I want)
A lotta money, (That's what I want)
Oh yeah, I wanna be free, (That's what I want)
Oh, lotta money, (That's what I want)
That's what I want (That's what I want) yeah,
That's what I want.

Well, now give me money, (That's what I want)
A lotta money, (That's what I want)
Wo, yeah, You need money (That's what I want)
Gimme money, (That's what I want)
That's what I want (That's what I want)
That's what I want.

Hey Brentfordfan,

The song is "For the Love of Money" by the O'Jays. It was used for the US version of the TV show 'The Apprentice' You can listen to a clip here... but unfortunately, this clip doesn't have the 'money, money, money' bit, but it's the song for sure!

Hope this helps, Xab

For The Love Of Money by The O'Jays. Used as the theme to The Apprentice USA, which (I've said it before and I'll say it again) either proves that the Americans do understand irony after all, or that they really, REALLY don't.

Thank so much, everyone. Xab, you are a star - I kept searching for it convinced it was the Four Tops.
