This blog is about the business of money, so for some light relief on New Year’s Day here are my top 11 songs about money:

The Romantic view:Money can’t buy me love

The lazy view of money:

The practical view: Take the K.A.S.H

Anticipating derivatives: You never give me your money

What we all want: Money for nothing

Jaded realism: You can’t always get what you want

The yuppie anthem: Opportunities (Let’s Make Lots Of Money)’ by Pet Shop Boys

Sadly real: Private Dancer

Paycheck blues: Working for the Clampdown

Celebrating the practical:

Ask and ye shall receive Oh Lord won’t you buy me a Mercedes Benz
