Summer is here Moscow.
Without the wealth of people to keep this town company, the ones who are left are starting to learn that money is something that makes summers in Moscow a little more fun. But guess what? We’re college students. Money isn’t always a thing that exists. It’s OK though. Jam out to some of these songs and it might kill the sadness in your wallet.
“Money, Money, Money” by ABBA
This song is all about the constant struggle of working and working and never having enough money for bills. If only there was a little more money in my wallet, I could choose between paying the bills or a good meal at Sangria.
“Rich Girl” by Gwen Stefani
Gwen Stefani says no man could test her or impress her and the cash flow would never end. Well, she has all of that. Why was she singing this song in the first place?
“Thrift Shop” by Macklemore
As a college student, the thrift shop is where it’s at. This song could be listened to while shopping at Goodwill. Or you can sing this loud and proud at the mall where it’s hard to afford a lot of things.
“I Need A Dollar” by Aloe Blacc
I have been singing this song since finals started. Though I have sang this song to the best of my abilities, not one person has given me a dollar for it.
“Billionaire” by Travie McCoy feat. Bruno Mars
This song was sung many times in high school. I didn’t think about money as much then, since my parents paid the bills, but I sure am singing it now.
“Time Of Our Lives” by Pitbull
Not gaining enough money for bills and deciding to go party instead is something I’m sure many people in Moscow have done. The parties are always great. But the next day is probably going to bring a hangover and an empty bank account.
“She Works Hard For The Money” by Donna Summer
I’m taking it back to old school. This is the song for those of us on the grind 24/7 and have nothing to show for it. So basically, over half the population of the U.S.
“Proud Mary” by Tina Turner
Go on. Show off them legs like Tina Turner and sing loudly. Though rolling, rolling, rolling on the river sounds fun, rolling, rolling, rolling in piles of cash sounds better.
“Money” by Pink Floyd
Yep. Money is everything. Pink Floyd knows what’s up. I should listen to them more.
“Gold Digger” by Kanye West
Don’t you hate it when “them girls” take your money? Well, Kanye sure does. I don’t think we share the same kind of problems though.
