5.306/365: November song challenge day 3

A song about worrying how to pay the rent.

I give you “Money’s Too Tight (To Mention)” by Simply Red. Lyrics are after the video — very much worth reading. Do they mention Resganomics? Oh, you know it.

I been laid off from work
My rent is due
My kids all need
Brand new shoes

So I went to the bank
To see what they could do
They said son – looks like bad luck
Got-a hold on you

Money’s too tight to mention
I can’t get an un-em-ploy-ment ex-ten-sion
Money’s too tight to mention

I went to my brother
To see what he could do
He said bro-ther like to help you
But I’m unable to
So I called on my fa-ther fa-ther
Oh my fa-ther
He said

Money’s too tight to mention
Oh mo-ney mo-ney mo-ney mon-ey
Mo-ney’s too tight to mention
I can’t even qual-i-fy for my pension

We talk a-bout rea-gan-om-ics
Oh lord down in the con-gress
They’re passing all kinds – of bills
From down cap-it-ol hill

5.305.1/365 November song challenge

Professor Doctor Hillary and I have decided to bring back the gold old blog challenge. This is a song one. Its the Not a Showtune Sobg Challenge. I don’t think this will be a hard one.

Today is a song expressing the desire to be rich. Let’s go with “Greenback Boogie” by Ima Robot. It’s the theme song from Suits and it’s awesome, but five minutes long, so I’m just giving y’all the 30 second theme. It’s the best.
