Thread Name: Songs About Money
Subject: RE: Songs About Money
What an eclectic, interesting collection of songs! I love it! Thank you!

{It occurs to me that interesting is probably my favorite word. I suppose I use it too much. But I haven't used eclectic in any thread lately, have I? So there ya go :o).

dick greenhaus, re your post of 10 Oct 08 - 05:21 PM that mentions that the Digitrad has 715 songs that can be found just on a search for the word "money" .

Some folks posting here may have checked the digitrad for possibilites, but I haven't.

I think of these "song category threads" as a game. I wonder how many songs {and children's rhymes} I can think of in that category without looking at any resource such as the DigiTrad collection, or Google, or other Mudcat threads. When I think of a song and can't remember its lyrics, then I'll go to the DT or google it, or check Mudcat's archive of threads {which still doesn't have post Mudcat crash threads of-what? two years ago on? so because of that isn't that good a resource for what "old" threads there are, as far as I'm concerned}.

And I'm interested to see what songs other people come up with, partly to learn new songs, but mostly for the joy of reading what I hope will be an interesting {um-there I go again} discussion.

I suppose, given the worldwide financial crisi, it was to be expected that the examples given thus far have been more serious than lighthearted. I'm going to visit the thread whose link that Uncle_DaveO gave on 10 Oct 08 - 01:41 PM just to see how similar the examples are {and therefore the "tone" of the thread is} to this thread.

I'm sure that there are other purposes for and other approaches to these types of threads. But those are mine.

Best wishes,

Azizi
