Music for the recession:
1. You Never Give Me Your Money- The Beatles
“”You never give me your money. You only give me your funny paper, and in the middle of negotiations, you break down”
I guess John and Paul were psychics, because this scenario seems to be repeating all too often lately.
2. Rich- Yeah Yeah Yeahs
“She slipped down a rot drink/Unzipped, she doesn't exist/ So unloved/ I took them standing up/ So stuck up/ Rawr/ I'm rich . . .”
The lyrics are sexually charged and a little unsettling. Is the woman she speaks of a consenting partner or a victim to a “rot drink” from a shady character? Who knows. One thing for sure if that the ambiguity surrounding the situation isn’t dissimilar to what’s going on in the world today.
3. 10 Dollar- M.I.A.
“What can I get for a ten dolla'? Anything you want”
Well, maybe in a third world country?
4. Everyday I think of Money- Stereophonics
“Everyday, I dream of money. Everyday, I think of running”
Clearly this was excerpted from an executive from AIG’s journal.
5. Money Folder- Madvillan
“And just like he said, I coulda told ya MF, the holder of a boulder, Money Folder”
MF- as in, the motherfuckaz in Congress who neglected to oversee the financial meltdown?

It is unfortunate that The Beatles broke up in 1970. I especially like the theme of love in their works, so the album Love The Beatles in format-mp3 is a part of my music collection. I think this group is the greatest in the history of rock'n'roll and a lot of wonderful songs we could hear, if its members did not want to take up solo career.
