Songs about Money Trivia Quiz

Answer: Honey, I've got the time

The first verse is-
"If you've got the money, honey, I've got the time
we'll go honky tonkin' and we'll have a time
we'll have more fun baby on the way down the line
if you've got the money honey I've got the time".

Even non-country music fans (like me), recognise Willie's talent. He has been recording since 1956, and has had a string of successful albums and singles. In the mid 1980s, he joined up with fellow legends, Kris Kristofferson, Johnny Cash and Waylon Jennings, to form The Highwaymen.

He even has a street named after him in Austin, Texas.

Answer: Arrival

'Dancing Queen' and 'Knowing Me, Knowing You' also came from the same album. All three were Top Ten hits on almost every worldwide chart.

Answer: Joel Grey

Bob Fosse directed the movie and Christopher Isherwood wrote the book that the original stageplay was adapted from. Peter Allen was her first husband.

Answer: Pink Floyd

They named themselves after two American blues singers- Pink Anderson and Floyd Council. The Moody Blues were named after a beer company, M & B, King Crimson is allegedly a name for the devil, and diddley squat means nothing at all!

Answer: Brothers in Arms

'Brother in Arms' is the only album listed; the other options are all singles. The sultans of swing had their biggest hit with 'Money for Nothing', but not without some controversy. It was labelled as racist and sexist, but still won the 'Video of the Year' at the 1986 MTV awards.

Did you know that the man singing "I want my MTV" is none other than Sting, from the Police?

Answer: Simply Red

John and Billy Valentine wrote the song, but their version only just made the Top 50. Simply Red were rock and roll survivors, recording for over 25 years before splitting up in 2010. 'Fairground' was a smash hit for them and was also released in 1985.

Scottish glam rock band, the Bay City Rollers, recorded 'Money Honey' in 1975, and Culture Club did not have any songs about money, although they did wax lyrically about a chameleon.

Answer: Barrett Strong

Barrett Strong hit paydirt with 'Money', but only achieved further success as a lyricist. He wrote a few biggies, such as 'Heard It Through the Grapevine', 'War (What is it Good For?)', and 'Papa Was a Rolling Stone'.

White did 'Poke Salad Annie', Newman released 'Something in the Air' and Dickens was another one hit wonder, with 'May the Bird of Paradise Fly Up Your Nose'.

Answer: Donna Summer

Summer had several hits in the disco era (roughly 1974-80), and when the bubble burst, she changed style to a more pop/blues feel. She continued working in music until her death, from cancer, in 2012.

Answer: Give Me Some Money

'Spinal Tap' was a group invented for the movie, with three actors being dubbed in for the music. The movie itself is a sendup of the rock music touring scene, and it gained a cult following after its release in 1984.

'Did You Steal My Money?' was a 1981 song by The Who, 'Mo' Money, Mo' Problems' belongs to rap singer Notorious B.I.G. and 'The Colour of Money' was a Paul Newman movie about hustling at pool.

Answer: Everything

The Brains (who?) released 'Money Changes Everything' in 1978 with little support, but Lauper's cover was much more of a success.
