Money by The Beatles is a classic rock song discussing the significance and impact of money in life. The song captures the desires and frustrations associated with financial needs and wants. It suggests that money is a primary motivation and necessity, reflecting the materialistic values prevalent in society. The key theme revolves around the idea that despite the common saying that money can’t buy happiness, it is still crucial to people's satisfaction and security. A particularly poignant moment in the song is the repeated line 'The best things in life are free, but you can keep them for the birds and bees,' which highlights a cynical view of the adage, stressing the importance of tangible wealth over abstract ideals.
