Subject: Money It's What I Want
Written By: rubixgirl on 12/02/04 at 5:16 pm
There's a song that goes "The best things in life are free. But you can give them to the birds and bess. I want money (that's what I want)" Its sort of spoken by a female.
So here is my 3 part question?
1) What is the title?
2) Who sings it?
3) Was it in a movie?
Any help would be great! :)

"Money (It's All I Want)" by The Flying Lizards
But I don't know if it's from a film, sorry.

Thanks for that info...I appreciate it.
It may have not been in a movie. But I get feeling that it was. But I have been known to be wrong before. ;)

Barrett Strong sang the original in the 1960's Rubix.

The Beatles sang it long before the Flying Lizards.

The song is called "Money, That's What I Want".
From what I found out, Sheryl Crow, Cheap Trick, The Kingsmen, Hanson , and lots of other artists have done remakes of the song.
Hope it helps!

A great '80s song (actually, 1979, but 1980 where I live)...

(...and #1 is a great obscure '70s song)
