Tom Wiggins who is playing a Church Service with St. Gabriel wanted a song
for the offertory. I suggest "Gimme Some Money" by that legendary Band,
"Spinal Tap".

In 2006, their song "Gimme Some Money" was used in a TV commercial for a
cash back credit card from American Express. You can hear it in the
background on:

Stop wasting my time. You know what I want
You know what I need. Or maybe you don't
Do I have to come rightflat out and tell you everything?
Gimme some money. Gimme sone money
I'm nobody's fool. I'm nobody's clown
I'm treating you cool. I'm putting you down
But baby I don't intend to leave empty handed
Gimme some money. Gimme some money
Don't get me wrong. Try getting me right
Your face is ok but your purse is too tight
I'm looking for pound notes. Loose change. Bad checks, anything
Gimme some money. Gimme some money


Or "Money" (That's what I want) by the Beatles.

The best things in life are free
But you can keep them for the birds and bees
Now give me money. That's what I want
That's what I want, yeah. That's what I want

You're lovin' gives me a thrill
But you're lovin' don't pay my bills
Now give me money. That's what I want
That's what I want, yeah. That's what I want

Money don't get everything it's true
What it don't get, I can't use
Now give me money. That's what I want
That's what I want, yeah. That's what I want, wah
Money don't get everything it's true
What it don't get, I can't use
Now give me money. That's what I want
That's what I want, yeah. That's what I want

Well now give me money. A lot of money
Wow, yeah, I wanna be free. Oh I want money
That's what I want. That's what I want, well
Now give me money. A lot of money.

Wow, yeah, you need money, now, give me money
That's what I want, yeah, that's what I want

Cheers,
Steve Barbone
