OK, it’s off topic…

What’s your favorite song that involves an accounting topic/theme?

I’m going Kinks – Sunny Afternoon, with the classic opening “The taxman’s taken all my dough, and left me in my stately home, lazing on a sunny afternoon.”

[Biff Tannen]

They call me LIFO the party, and I love to Audit,
Not looking forward to sitting for FAR, NFP accounting makes me vomit.
– LIFO the party

[Charlie]

Madonna's song “More” from the movie Dick Tracy has a great line: “Keep the number mounting, your accountant does accounting”

Also, “Suga Mama” by Beyonce has: “Baby what you want me to buy? My accountant's waiting on the phone”

And then, there's a funny song all about accounting fraud and government corruption from the musical Fiorello! called “Little Tin Box”:

“Mr. X, may we ask you a question?
It's amazing, is it not,
That the city pays you slightly less than fifty bucks a week,
Yet you've purchased a private yacht?”
“I am positive your Honor must be joking!
Any working man can do what I have done.
For a month or two I simply gave up smoking,
And I put my extra pennies one by one
Into a little tin box…”
