Well, we must have planted a few Earworms (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earworm) today.

And, here is another Beatles one. Money can't buy me love  (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=venzPNvge18)
Money won't buy respect.
Money can't buy happiness -but it can make your misery much more comfortable.

Thanks for that Jeff, I now know there is such a thing and it's name.

Earworm, earworm,
Remembering the music bits,
You and your sweet melodies,
Will resonate near and far.

A few degrees of separation here From Little Things Big Things Grow  (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_ndC07C2qw)
But, it is about something more important than just money.

Check banknote signatures and think about your retirement and you might get the tenuous link.
