I am in desperate need of some songs relating to being rich or livin' it up. I'm doing a music video and I need to find the right song. Does anybody know any?

Hahaha! Mine is an evil laugh... Now die!

"If I Had A Million Dollars" by Barenaked Ladies. That's more about wanting to be rich than actually being rich, though.

You could go sarcastic, and use the Harry Connick Jr. cover of "The Bare Necessities" (a.k.a. Baloo's song from The Jungle Book). (I'm thinking of the music video that I saw years ago, with Connick strutting through a mansion, sipping champagne amongst the jewel-encrusted solid gold fixtures, with various servants and hangers-on attending to his every whim. It was funny.)

"Float On", by Modest Mouse
"Steal My Sunshine", by Len
"Move Along", by The All-American Rejects

Can't think of much else. I'm not a very "up" person.

"If I Had A Million Dollars" was my first choice as well, but another one I always liked was this Simon and Garfunkel song off their Pet Rocks album called "Richard Corry". It's sung from the point of view from a factory worker about his employer who he envies for being rich. And the last lyric before the chorus is "So my mind was filled with wonder when the evening headlines read 'Richard Corry went home last night and put a bullet through his head.'"

"There's only one "Return" ok, and it ain't "of the King", it's "of the Jedi."

"Maybe we should start calling your friend 'Padme' because he loves 'Mannequin Skywalker' so much, Right? (imitating robot) Danger...danger...my name is Anakin...my shitty acting is ruining saga."

Excerpt of internet teaser for CLERKS 2.

If you want something a little quirky/retro-techno I'd go with the Flying Lizards song Money (That's All I Want).

"Well, my days of not taking you seriously are certainly coming to a middle." http://whimsicalnbrainpan.blogspot.com/
