Picture Perfect - A Song Title


 Picture Perfect 2008/#02
Theme : A Song Title
Camera : Canon IXUS I
Date Taken : 2008 Jan
 

Just wanted to have something common that everyone knows and yet unusual.  Thus chosen everyone's Good Friend - Money!
I used to travel to various countries to work.  Thus ended up with a lot of leftover dollar notes and coins from the various countries, which I was too lazy to convert them back to local currency.
Took the picture using my Sony Ericsson P1i handphone as my Canon ixus camera not functioning well.



Money, Money, Money
ABBA
I work all night, I work all day, to pay the bills I have to pay
Ain't it sad
And still there never seems to be a single penny left for me
That's too bad
In my dreams I have a plan
If I got me a wealthy man
I wouldn't have to work at all, I'd fool around and have a ball...

Money, money, money, Must be funny
In the rich man's world
Money, money, money, Always sunny
In the rich man's world
Aha-ahaaa
All the things I could do
If I had a little money
It's a rich man's world

A man like that is hard to find but I cant get him off my mind
Ain't it sad
And if he happens to be free I bet he wouldn't fancy me
That's too bad
So I must leave, I'll have to go
To las vegas or monaco
And win a fortune in a game, my life will never be the same...

Money, money, money, Must be funny
In the rich man's world
Money, money, money, Always sunny
In the rich man's world
Aha-ahaaa
All the things I could do
If I had a little money
It's a rich man's world

Money, money, money, Must be funny
In the rich mans world
Money, money, money, Always sunny
In the rich man's world
Aha-ahaaa
All the things I could do
If I had a little money
It's a rich man's world

It's a rich mans world



Thanks to FotoFriday for the fun !

  8. First of all - I looooooove ABBA - I posted a review about their album and this song is one of my favorites... so true. Second of all - I have the same habits... down here, we can't exchange the coins in the money changer - they won't accept it. To exchange a couple of Singaporean cents in the bank sounds like a possibility to make a scene so I just keep them. Now they are all over my place. I so can relate to your 'dilemma'...
    Great take on this week's theme - both the picture and song matched perfectly. Thanks for sharing and making me laugh. Thanks for visiting my take also. Have a great weekend!

  9. Good chosen! Indeed a very unusual photo. I am glad in Europe a lot of countries have the same currency (Euro) nowadays. I don't have any leftover coins and I don't have to figure out how much I am spending all the time....

  10. OOO, money.

    YUCK!

    It is so evil. I loathe the need for it. It turns some good people into greedy little flies....

  31. I have a LD and DVD of the ABBA MV, very nice to watch, and able to sing along with them almost all the songs.

  32. Unique picture. Our US money (upper left) looks so boring mixed in other countries currency.

    Keeping them is like keeping concert ticket stubs. Helps you remember where you were (at least for me). Ha.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Thanks. oh yes, germany is quite different from other european countries. I love the castles.

    ReplyDelete
  34. It is true, when I was preparing this money song for the post, I could not resist and ended up listening to all other ABBA songs for the whole night.

    ReplyDelete
  35. haha~ never judge by the surface value...
    ya! true enough, when looking at those notes and coins, all the past memories started to flash back... how wonderful.

    ReplyDelete
  36. This is great! This is one of the best ideas I've seen on this theme! I think a collection of money like that is really interesting-and who doesn't love Abba? Thanks for visiting mine. :)
