New 4 Day Music Challenge. The Theme Is ... MONEY

[ten*teeny*tiny*toes]

These music challenge themes currently run for Four Days - this theme finishes (Sydney time) on:

SATURDAY 28th February at 8pm.

The idea of the music challenge is to select a song from YouTube (or another video site) which relates to the chosen theme via the song's title and/or lyrics. Post the URL link to your chosen video under the song title and artist.

NO EMBEDDED VIDEOS OR IMAGES PLEASE - this is to accomodate those using devices with slow internet connections, such as iphones and other portable devices, who have had problems loading the threads, so everybody can enjoy the game.
NOTE!:- Any embedded videos entered will not count in the game, and will be deemed invalid.

The poster of the video which has received the most kudos at the end time wins the challenge. If there is an unresolvable tie, the first video posted will take precedence. The winner chooses the next theme, starts a new thread, hosts it, and declares the eventual new winner with the most kudos, with the winning entry post # and song details. As a winner, you can copy and paste this head info post into the new thread (remember to update the end time). In this way the challenge threads can be self running (no other prizes, sorry...)

All are welcome to take part, even if you don't post a video yourself - just kudo the posted videos you like. If you are technically challenged and don't know how to post a video link (don't worry, you will not be the first), just ask, and someone will guide you along, or see here:

This def beat that I put together, I wanna hear some of them
Def rhymes, know what Im sayin? and together, we can get
Paid in full...

[rakim]
Thinkin of a master plan
Cuz aint nuthin but sweat inside my hand
So I dig into my pocket, all my money is spent
So I dig deeper but still comin up with lint
So I start my mission- leave my residence
Thinkin how could I get some dead presidents
I need money, I used to be a stick-up kid
So I think of all the devious things I did
I used to roll up, this is a hold up, aint nuthin funny
Stop smiling, be still, dont nuthin move but the money
But now I learned to earn cos Im righteous
I feel great! so maybe I might just
Search for a 9 to 5, if I strive
Then maybe Ill stay alive
So I walk up the street whistlin this
Feelin out of place cos, man, do I miss
A pen and a paper, a stereo, a tape of
Me and eric b, and a nice big plate of
Fish, which is my favorite dish
But without no money its still a wish
Cos I dont like to dream about gettin paid
So I dig into the books of the rhymes that I made
To now test to see if I got pull
Hit the studio, cos Im paid in full

Joanie - we don;t have to write the song - just the simple description & link.

No-one is going to read all that - read the initial request.

Special Ed - I Got It Made- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GORMlxSq0sI

Im your idol, the highest title, numero uno
Im not a puerto rican, but Im speakin so that you know
And understand I got the gift of speech
And its a blessin,
So listen to the lesson I preach
I talk sense condensed into the form of a poem
Full of knowledge from my toes to the top of my dome
Im kinda young--but my tongue speaks maturity
Im not a child, I dont need nothin for security
I get paid when my record is played--to put it short
I got it made

[Verse 2]
Im outspoken--
My language is broken into a slang
But its just a dialect that I select when I hang
I play it cool--cuz coolin is all that Im about
Just foolin wit tha girlies, yes Im bustin it out
Im special ed and you can tell by the style that I use
Im creatively superior, yo--i never lose
I never lost cuz Im the boss
I never will cuz Im still
The champion, chief one, wont lose until--
I choose
Which I wont cuz I dont retreat
Ill run you over like a truck and leave you dead in the street
Youre invitin me, a titan to a battle--why?
I dont need your respect cuz i--
Got it made

[Verse 3]
Im talented, yes Im gifted
Never boosted, never shoplifted
I got the cash, but maoney aint nothin
Make a million dollars every record that I cut and--
My name is special ed and Im a super-duper star
Ever other week I get a brand new car
Got twenty, thats plenty yet I still want more
Kinda fond of honda scooters--got seventy-four
I got the riches--to fulfill my needs
Got land in the sand of the west indies
Even got a little island of my very own--
I gotta frog--a dog with a solid gold bone
An accountant to account the amount I spent
Gotta treaty with tahiti cuz I own a percent
Got gear out wear--to everyday
Boutiques from france to the u.s.a.
And I make all the money from the rhymes I invent
So it really doesnt matter--how much I spent, because, yo
I make fresh rhymes--daily
You burn me--really?
Think, just blink and I made--a million rhymes
Just imagine if you blinked-- a million times
Damn Id be paid--
I got it made

[Verse 4]
Im kinda spoiled
Cuz everything I want I got made
I wanted gear--got everything from cotton to suede
I wanted lead--i didnt beg I just got laid
My hair was growin too long, so I got me a fade
And when my dishes got dirty, I got cascade
When the weather was hot, I got a spot in the shade
Im wise because I rise to the top of my grade
Wanted peace on earth, so to God I prayed
Some kids across town thought I was afraid
They couldnt harm me--
I got the army brigade
Im not a trader
If what you got is greater Ill trade
But maybe later cuz my waiter made potato -n- alligator souflee--
I got it made
