Then there was Wobbly Bob's “(Cash Machine Swallowed My) Debit Card Blues.” which did not win any awards.

Following is a selection of another 22 songs with some financial connections, presented in chronological order:

1. “Brother, Can You Spare a Dime,” Bing Crosby, 1932

They used to tell me I was building a dream

And so I followed the mob

When there was earth to plow or guns to bear

I was always there right on the job

2. “If I Were a Rich Man” (Zero Mostel in original cast recording), 1964

I'd build a big tall house with rooms by the dozen

Right in the middle of the town

A fine tin roof with real wooden floors below

There would be one long staircase just going up

And one even longer coming down

And one more leading nowhere, just for show

3. “The Jolly Banker” Woody Guthrie, 1964

My name is Tom Cranker and I'm a jolly banker,

I'm a Jolly banker, jolly banker am I.

I safeguard the farmers and widows and orphans,

Singin' I'm a jolly banker, jolly banker am I.

4. “For the Love of Money” the O'Jays, 1973

Know that money is the root of all evil

Do funny things to some people

Give me a nickel, brother can you spare a dime

Money can drive some people out of their minds

5. “Mr. Banker,” Lynyrd Skynyrd, 1973

I told you mister

I ain't got no house

Ain't got no car

I got me a 1950 Les Paul guitar

Won't you take it mister banker

6. “Money,” Pink Floyd, 1973

Money, it's a crime

Share it fairly but don't take a slice of my pie

Money, so they say

Is the root of all evil today

But if you ask for a rise

It's no surprise that they're giving none away

7. “Money, Money, Money,” ABBA, 1976

I work all night, I work all day, to pay the bills I have to pay

Ain't it sad

And still there never seems to be a single penny left for me

That's too bad

In my dreams I have a plan

8. “Rich Girl,” Hall & Oates, 1976

You're a rich girl, and you've gone too far

'Cause you know it don't matter anyway

You can rely on the old man's money

You can rely on the old man's money

9. “Take The Money and Run,” Steve Miller Band, 1976

Bobbie Sue, whoa, whoa, she slipped away

Billy Joe caught up to her the very next day

They got the money, hey

You know they got away

They headed down south and they're still running today

Singing go on take the money and run

10. “She Works Hard for the Money,” Donna Summer, 1983

She works hard for the money.

So hard for it, honey.

She works hard for the money.

So you better treat her right.

11. “Credit Card Baby,” Wham!, 1984

You can have my credit card baby

But keep your red hot fingers off my heart lady

All I know is what I see

You getting what you want and girl it ain't just me

12. “The Big Money,” Rush, 1985

Big money goes around the world

Big money underground

Big money got a mighty voice

Big money make no sound

Big money pull a million strings

Big money hold the prize

Big money weave a mighty web

Big money draw the flies

'Cause we are living in a material world

And I am a material girl

You know that we are living in a material world

And I am a material girl

Cash rules everything around me

C.R.E.A.M. get the money

Take you on a natural joint

Here we here we go

Dollar, dollar bill y'all

15. “Money In The Bank,” Lonesome River Band, 1994

When we first met I was young and poor

I knew just what I was working for

But, the times have changed and so have you, I think

Well, I was making money you were making time

But, you can bet I won't stand in line

If you leave me it's like money in the bank

16. “Mo Money Mo Problems,” the Notorious B.I.G., 1997

It's like the more money we come across

The more problems we see

With the window cracked, holler back

I think I'm leaving with a new her

And some of your liquor

Just counting money in the new house

My telephone rang one evening my buddy called for me

Said the bankers are all leaving better you come 'round and see

It's a startling revelation they robbed the nation blind

They're all down at the station no banker left behind
