What song from circa the 1970s has a well-known opening line:  
Money! Money! Money! …mmmmMoney!  
Money! Money! Money! …mmmmMoney!

Note: This is not to be confused with Pink Floyd’s “Money”

Thanks,

For some reason, when I think of this song, and hear it’s signature bass riff in my head, I can’t help thinking of the episode of “Moonlighting” that made use of it. The two are forever linked in my head.
