Tailored suits, chauffered cars
Fine hotels and big cigars
Up for grabs, up for a price
Where the red hot girls keep on dancing through the night
The claim is on you
The sights are on me
So what do you do
That's guaranteed
Hey little girl, you want it all
The furs, the diamonds, the painting on the wall

Come on, come on, love me for the money
Come on, come on, listen to the moneytalk
Come on, come on, love me for the money
Come on, come on, listen to the moneytalk

A French maid, foreign chef
A big house with king size bed
You've had enough, you ship them out
The dollar's up - down, you'd better buy the pound
The claim is on you
The sights are on me
So what do you do
That's guaranteed
Hey little girl, you broke the laws
You hustle, you deal, you steal from us all

Come on, come on, love me for the money
Come on, come on, listen to the moneytalk
Come on, come on, love me for the money
Come on, come on, listen to the moneytalk
Moneytalks, yeah, yeah

Money talks, B.S. walks
Money talks, come on, come on

Come on, come on, love me for the money
Come on, come on, listen to the moneytalk
Come on, come on, love me for the money
Come on, come on, listen to the moneytalk

Moneytalks, moneytalk, talk, talk
Hear it talk

Yeah, yeah, yeah Moneytalks

Awful version, worst performance (out of tune almost all the time). I wonder why do you continue playing this with such a low average rating? Do you REALLY take into account user's rating Bill?

That phrase will never, ever, EVER be accurate on RP, regardless of your feelings about any particular song.  Seriously dude, think before you type such foolishness.

I usually don't rate songs I consider to be less than a three or four.  Just not worth my time and effort.  I'm making an exception for this one.  It's truly awful.  1.

Wow, honestly never heard this version of the song by Kathleen (Live), I would hear at least once to understand what motivated this score as "high" 3.6, reflected in a universe of 176 listeners, who decide by thousands of others? hmmm...
Or as we also already like in the "Listener Review Channel" situation where a handful of 30 voting, decide whether or not the choice of a particular song, on behalf of thousands other listeners?  hmmm...and even now that this is stupid arrogance of a listener has the effrontery to say "do not play this again (ever!)"? Wtf? You're not giving orders to your house, you know.
And, more seriously, the production RP obeyed!. The regrettable and unfortunate "order" was written here on Apr 08, 2008, and the song was played last time in RP on May 09, 2008. This means nothing, but a bad precedent, I think.

Yeah, I don't like it either...ah, Rickie Lee Jones is on now...her voice is a lot more interesting than Kathleen's.
Posted 16 years ago by snakechaser    [ Reply ]
This is absolutely, totally, without question the worst version of Money Talks that has ever been recorded and actually played on the radio. I'm sure Kathleen is a talented person in general, but this tune shows an incredible lack of ability to choose appropriate material. Or maybe she was just stoned out of her gourd...whatever..PLEASE DO NOT PLAY THIS AGAIN (ever!).

The original wasn't great, this is worse. Please play ACDC if you're going to subject us to this dribble.

B-A-A-D. I've never seen a song rated lower than 5-something on the RP playlist. And yet, I'm kind of charmed that Bill keeps it in the rotation.....

I LOLed...other tunes of hers are good, but this is dubious at *best*...I changed my rating from 4 to 1, partially due to the nerve-jangling induced by the audio quality, but now I'm going to re-adjust it to three. It's gotta be really, really awful for me to go below three.

Posted 17 years ago by jpfueler    [ Reply ]
I've always wondered how bad something has to be rated before Bill stops playing it. I consider this my petri dish for that experiment. Right now, 50% of the ratings are < or = 3.

I love RP as much as anyone, but how bad does a song have to suck -- by universal listener acclaim -- before it's put to rest?
I think Bill just plays for as long as it tweaks his fancy - I guess that's the advantage to running your own radio station. Personally I think it's an awesome cover though, I love covers that rip a song completely out of it's original context, so I'm glad it's still in the playlist despite the low ratings. :P

This is the worst song I have ever heard on RP. (Bill does a great job, so I'm not picking on him.) AC/DC is tough to cover, so maybe that's it. After more thought, she just sucks on this song.

Too bad she didn't do better! :) I bought a few Kathleen Edwards tracks from iTunes and really like them, but i cherry-picked heavily. Her music is good fun but on some tracks her vocal ... talent is really painful.

I'm most aware of Neil Young's wicked sense of humor when I hear one of his lead guitar solos.

Is there any rating lower than "Sucko-barfo"?
Posted 19 years ago by dango    [ Reply ]
I did, which is why I'm so taken by this. She sang "National Steel" first which pulled me in, and finished her set with this great AC/DC cover, then did a very moving rendition of "Sweet Little Duck" that had half the audience in tears. Unbelievable! Besides, this was my fist time....my first ever upload to RP!!moshevelvul wrote:

More fun than some genre-bender covers. Sometimes a radically different twist is really good (say, Richard Thompson's take of "Oops, I did it again!" (no, seriously!)) and sometimes it's not (Pete Yorn's "Splendid Isolation" on 'Enjoy Every Sandwich').
