Not too tight to mention

Special thanks to everybody who made suggestions for songs about home despite being, er, at home over the Easter holiday. Reassuring to know that this blog isn't just a means of killing time at the office.

Money, as we all know, can buy both happiness and love. It can also make a good topic for a song, so this week's theme is cash: having it, losing it or wanting it. Bonus points will be awarded for the most ridiculous euphemism - get ready, hip-hop fans. Two exclusions to start you off - Pink Floyd's Money and ABBA's Money Money Money - because they're way too obvious and, more pertinently, because I don't like 'em.

Deadline for recommendations is Monday 1pm. The archive of previous columns is accessible here, and you can also see an A-Z of every single song that has appeared in the weekly playlists.
