Wednesday Playlist – Songs About Money

May 7th, 2009

This week’s playlist was all songs about money – in deference to my crappy coffee shop experience yesterday morning. Money’s a popular thing to sing about, who’d have thunk? As always, if I could find it on playlist.com I added it here, otherwise I tried to find a link elsewhere. Some songs I couldn’t find anywhere, sorry! (And I forgot who submitted the Destiny’s Child song, they didn’t @ me with it, so I can’t find it.)
