In these lean times, I feel the need to lighten the mood about money. Not that it isn't serious for people, but just to give the dollar a little perspective and humor. This catchy little song does it for me:

Hope you enjoy it and have a great day today!

Always been a fan of this song, and many others by the Barenaked Ladies.

Good bunch of guys :AOK:

I first saw the Barenaked Ladies on 'Speakers Corner'

'Speakers Corner' was a video booth belonging to City TV in Toronto, Ontario where for $1 you could speak your mind. City TV would then produce a show of the weeks video's.

The Barenaked Ladies used this medium to get a little home town promotion.

They recorded and included this on their debut album, 'Gordon'

:AOK: Nice choice, SVL :rotflmao:
I've always dug BNL, quirky guys, refreshingly twisted perspective on life's little fine things. One of my faves here:

But since your topic isn't really about BNL, but about lightening the mood of the current tough times with money many are dealing with, then how about this one...who needs money, anyway, right? fittingly, in black & white (that's right, kids...once upon a time, TV wasn't in color). RIP, Sonny ...:

Good ones Wings! I did not see that 65 telecast. (that I remember, I was either 2 or 3 at the time) but I did see other broadcasts of that song. And though a helmet won't always save you skiing, I always wear one. RIP Sonny.

On the subject of "money" and "wanting"
