was playing a few 80's tunes last night in my ressy when the only way is up by yazz came along !!!

i dedicateted it to the resession !!! the other obvious one was the tony blair tune ( d'reem - things can only get better )

then got me thinking could ya do half an hour or so of resession lifting songs !!!

suggestions anyone ???

always look on the bright side of life

M-People " Moving on up"

Dennis Brown "money in my pocket"

Flying Lizards "Money"

I guess the recession song that always sticks in my mind - apart from being one of my favourite tracks, must be:

The Specials - One in Ten

And we must be fast approaching that figure!!!!???? Again!

And although I'm no great fan - surely the Hon. Mr. Billy Bragg must have recorded several tracks that could be applied here!

Don't know that one, it's not a track I remember the specials doing...do you mean UB40 by any chance?

moneys too tight to mention..simply red

ABBA=Money Money Money
Simpley red=Money's too tight to mention
Frank Sinatra=Pennies from Heaven..........(If only)
