Money, get away
Get a good job with more pay and you're O.K.
Money, it's a gas
Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash
New car, caviar, four star daydream,
Think I'll buy me a football team
Money, get back
I'm all right, Jack, keep your hands off of my stack.
Money, it's a hit
Don't give me that do goody good bullshit
I'm in the high-fidelity first-class traveling set
And I think I need a Learjet
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

Pretty sure this isn’t from 2013! LOL
the reason this is so good and why we love it so much is because it is true!

You should rate it on its original merits - melody, lyrics, great musicianship, originality etc.
You cannot demerit it because somebody plays it too much - that is.. as Mr Spock would say... "Illogical".
Says the rating police!! LOL. Rate it the way YOU want to and ignore this tool!

Love it but heard it yesterday!! Aren’t there enough original songs out there to play once a month or less?

My dad was singing along to this when it came out, and got yelled at by my granddad for saying the word "bullshit".
Forty years later, my dad told me off for the same reason, paused, and we both laughed.

One of the 'clean' versions for radio had the simple cut-and-paste 'do-goody-good BALL TEAM' line.
50 years old and still rolling.

Man, you pick only the battery in this groove, and you will be just amazed.
The fact that RP doesn't censor the naughty words is yet another reason I will never listen to broadcast radio again. The year 2014 is the last time I tuned in an FM station, and I quickly regretted it once the seemingly neverending commercials started.

I am sick of this song. It's definitely been overplayed in my 50 year lifetime.
However, I still rate it 10 and would rate it higher if allowed.

Aurally, it's an amazing song. Extremely well produced. I vividly remember a demo in a stereo shop of Carver's Sonic Holography system (oh, about 1982?) using this track. Stunning. Life-changing actually.
I always thought this song was kind of gimmicky though, clichéd. I know: blasphemy.

A few days ago, "after golf and some fine scotch" I was driving home and decided to start playing this album... I probably hadn't listened to the entire thing in 20+ years. I got to my home on about the third track... then sat in my car on the dark side of my house and listened to the rest of the album at high volume... mesmerized ... I still can't believe the greatness of this recording. And I also laugh that David Gilmour once said about the creation of Dark Side " that no one in the band is particularly musically talented."

A graduate school example of well-composed, well-executed, and well-produced music. These guys had a vision of the final product, but also had the chops to make it appear on vinyl.
And, I might add, thank goodness they did!

So, I get the comments people are making about this song being overplayed...I don't share the opinion (I think that, if a song is good, it doesn't matter if you hear it once a day or once a month, but that's just me)...but, even with that being said, how does someone rate this song a "1"? Really, people? You really think this song is so devoid of musical talent that it should get the lowest rating possible? A "1" seems harsh if your only reason is the whole "too commercial" argument.
Just my two cents.

Soaring guitar work by David Gilmore near the end. Perfection.

Whole album in this case.
Posted it here. Then, saw that mine was not a unique comment. Not by a long shot.

If it's Dark Side of the Moon, it's a 10. Best record of all time, and one of the best songs of all time.
This album makes me wish RP went to 11.

Yes. And how can almost any song be a '1'? A '1' is extreme. A '1' is nails on a chalkboard.
It's kinda like at the hospital when they ask you your pain level on a 1-10 scale. Well, I would say a sharp stick in the eye is a 10, and base my answer on that.

I was 12, coming back from dinner and a movie with the folks and bro, coming up the drive from where we'd parked the car. This had come on just as Dad had pulled in. I belted out, "— Don't give me that do goody-good bull-shit!" and I got some scowls and a scolding.

Pink Floyd - Money
On 2 July 2005 Pink Floyd performed at the London Live 8 concert with Roger Waters rejoining David Gilmour, Nick Mason and Richard Wright. It was the quartet's first performance together in over 24 years - the band's last show with Waters was at Earls Court in London on 17 June 1981.
Gilmour announced the Live 8 reunion on 12 June 2005:
" Like most people I want to do everything I can to persuade the G8 leaders to make huge commitments to the relief of poverty and increased aid to the third world. It's crazy that America gives such a paltry percentage of its GNP to the starving nations. Any squabbles Roger and the band have had in the past are so petty in this context, and if re-forming for this concert will help focus attention then it's got to be worthwhile. "
The band's set consisted of 1."Speak to Me/Breathe/Breathe (Reprise)", 2."Money", 3."Wish You Were Here", and 4."Comfortably Numb". As on the original recordings, Gilmour sang the lead vocals on "Breathe" and "Money", and shared them with Waters on "Comfortably Numb". For "Wish You Were Here", Waters sung half of the verse's lyrics, unlike the original recording. When Waters was not singing, he was often enthusiastically mouthing the lyrics off-microphone. During the guitar introduction of "Wish You Were Here", Waters said:
" It's actually quite emotional standing up here with these three guys after all these years. Standing to be counted with the rest of you. Anyway, we're doing this for everyone who's not here, but particularly, of course, for Syd. "
They were augmented by guitarist/bassist Tim Renwick (guitarist on Roger Waters' 1984 solo tour, who has since become Pink Floyd's backing guitarist on stage); keyboardist/lap steel guitarist/backup vocalist Jon Carin (Pink Floyd's backing keyboardist from 1987 onward who performed on the 1999-2000 North American leg of Waters' "In the Flesh" tour, his 2006-2008 "Dark Side of the Moon Live" tour and David Gilmour's 2006 On an Island tour); saxophonist Dick Parry during "Money" (who played on the original recordings of "Money", "Us and Them", and "Shine on You Crazy Diamond"); and backing singer Carol Kenyon during "Comfortably Numb". During "Breathe", on the screen behind them, film of the iconic pig from the Animals album was shown flying over Battersea Power Station (itself visible on the horizon in television broadcasts of the performance), and during "Money", a shot of The Dark Side of the Moon record being played was shown. During "Comfortably Numb", the three giant screens showed the Pink Floyd Wall (from the cover of The Wall), and during the final guitar solo, the words "Make Poverty History" were written on the wall.
At the end, after the last song had been played, Gilmour said "thank you very much, good night" and started to walk off the stage. Waters called him back, however, and the band shared a group hug that became one of the most famous pictures of Live 8. As they proceeded to walk off, Nick Mason threw his drumsticks into the audience. With Wright's subsequent death, in September 2008, this was to be the final concert to feature all four bandmates.

My least favorite track of this album actually, but the sax is nice and Gilmour does his usual magic on the guitar.

While I know this is the most popular track off the album, I've always found it somewhat discordant with the smooth feel of the rest of the songs. Definitely feels like their 'pop requirement'.

Is not $ somewhat discordant by it's nature. I'll barter any time the opportunity is available.The 7/8 time signature is a beaut still to this day...but the poor tune is a victim of 'Death by AM radio'. I'm fond, but not enjoying it like I might have at one time.

The only song on this masterpiece, arguably best album of all times, all genres, that I do not like. I heard Roger Waters play it one time on acoustic as a slow classic blues tune and it sounded much better like that.

While I know this is the most popular track off the album, I've always found it somewhat discordant with the smooth feel of the rest of the songs. Definitely feels like their 'pop requirement'.
volume up, way up.
Ah, sending the money to Warren. I see. ;-) Good segue. (Waiting for the lawyers and guns to follow.)
Now that is one awesome guitar solo!!!!
The only song on this masterpiece, arguably best album of all times, all genres, that I do not like. I heard Roger Waters play it one time on acoustic as a slow classic blues tune and it sounded much better like that.

I respectfully disagree on the basis of the extended guitar solo alone. One of the greats.
It may well be one of the worst (least good) songs on the LP, but it's still better than many other bands best songs relative to their collective outputs.

It took two weeks after daily work to complete the drawing. I scanned it in 2 parts because of it's size. Unfortunately I used wrong tools: an old, technical-drawing paper, and a too hard (4B) pencil - better things weren't under my hand at this time. I didn't have possibilies to draw until years, so I had to relearn to select and use the right tools.
This is a beautiful portrait...and Roger has definitely improved with age.

Does anybody know why the word bullshit is "silenced" out of some versions on the radio, while at other times, it comes through unedited loud and clear?

There is no way to listen to this objectively and consider it a "sellout". Mainstream radio might play it 24 hours a day, but they can never co-opt the meaning of this song.
My opinion, for what that's worth: The worst (commercial top 40) song on the best (cutting edge, redefining music as we know it) album of all time. It would have been a hell of a tune for anyone else, but looking at the rest of the album, it seems like a sellout. Still a 8.5 for me though. . . . .

Agreed, though it only gets a 6 from me. On one of those documentaries; Roger played the way he first wrote it, more of a Mississippi delta blues style and it was awesome, just should've kept it a stripped down acoustic blues song! Anyway, this is the only song on the inarguably "Best Album of all Times" that I don't like!
