In Good Intentions, Money!

Hello Friends!

Let's take a moment in reading the words that came in the lyrics of one of the most famous songs ever about money. Of course you know it: it's "Money Money" for 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

If I got me a wealthy man

I wouldn't have to work at all, I'd fool around and have a ball...

Money, money, money

Must be funny

In the rich man's world

Money, money, money

Always sunny

In the rich man's world

Aha-ahaaa

All the things I could do

If I had a little money

It's a rich [man's] world

A man like that is hard to find but I can't get [him off my mind]

Ain't it sad

And if [he happens to be free I bet he wouldn't fancy me]

That's too bad

So I must leave, I'll have to go

To Las Vegas or Monaco

And win a fortune in a game, my life will never be the same...

Money, money, money

Must be funny

In the rich man's world

Money, money, money

Always sunny

In the rich man's world

Aha-ahaaa

All the things I could do

If I had a little money

It's a rich man's world

It's a rich man's world

I love this song, and I could say that it is the best song that was written about money, but  I haven't heard any other song that was dedicated to money like this one. May be there is but I'm not aware of, it's a possibility.

The writer considered that the wealth should be attached to a man, and that a woman should look for a wealthy man, if she was in need for money. One way to spread the idea that women could not be rich without a man to their side. Of course this is not always the case! 😵

We can argue that in many other cases, there could be a poor man who wants to marry a wealthy woman, so he wouldn't worry about earning money and its problems.

Of course we totally understand that it is an entertainment, and the good intentions were there, we have no doubts, we're just making a remark. Even on our dollar bills, there's no picture of a female, they're all males. This is also in good intentions! 💓
