At least, it ended up being all about Miss Warwick’s materialism.

Eartha Kitt owns this thread.

She’s got an impressive collection of gold digger songs. Her sharp delivery is perfect here.

On stage, Cabaret originally had a different money song (which isn’t nearly as good)

The revival uses the movie’s song.

MONEY: "Money (That's What I Want)" is a rhythm and blues song written by Tamla founder Berry Gordy and Janie Bradford. MONEY was the first hit record for Gordy's Motown performer, Barrett Strong.

The Beatles then had a hit with the song in 1963.

I laughed out loud when someone in this thread linked The Flying Lizards version, they likely had no idea MONEY was a Motown song!

Silver couches to recline upon

And ornaments of gold

Silver moonbeams dance in fountains

Below shining citadels

Surrounded by silver gates ascending silver stairs

Eureka on angelic prayer wafts in and scents the air

With ornaments of gold

To warm my soul from the growing cold

Ornaments of gold

We can drink from silver vessels

We can feed from silver bowls

Then I'll give you gilded treasures

Anointed by intoxicating oils

Drenched in riches unimaginable

Your splendor drips with jewels that are so beautiful

And ornaments of gold

Warm my soul from the growing cold…

Lee Wiley's 1951 recording of the standard 'Oh, Look At Me Now' (with revised lyrics), paint a vivid portrait of a formerly jaded Single Girl, who has married a Wall St. banker and now lives the life of a well-to-do housewife in a luxury estate. Life is now a blur of jewels, furs, cocktail parties and trips to Chase Bank! Amusing stuff.
