Talk Money Week (11/4-11/8/24) and Talk Money Day (11/8/24) are supposed to be all about talking about Financial Literacy...and whenever you're talking about Money, you might also want to give a listen to a song about money called "Big Bucks."
SAN MATEO, Calif. - eMusicWire -- Talk Money Week and Talk Money Day are supposed to be all about talking about financial literacy, and whenever you're thinking about Money, all throughout the year, you might also want to sing a few choruses of a song about money that I co-wrote called "Big Bucks."
"Big Bucks" is a song about the hopes and dreams of making big money, and the frustrations about not making big money.
Some of the lyrics about the hopes of making big money go like this:
"A million bucks for throwing a ball
A million more for a sales call
It don't take brains
It don't take brawn
I only hope it don't take too long."
HERE IS SOME BACKGROUND ON THE SONG:
I originally started writing "Big Bucks" as a poem in the early 1980s after some second-string, second baseman, who seldom hit over .200, got a multimillion dollar deal just for playing baseball. Then, in 1998, I teamed up with a musician named Gary Warren, and we co-wrote the song version of "Big Bucks."

The song was released in 1999 and it got some airplay on several radio stations that played rap and hip-hop.
People can hear a free clip of "Big Bucks" at www.barrows.com/music.html and there is also a link on that page where they can download the song for 99 cents on iTunes.
SO, WHENEVER YOU START THINKING ABOUT THINGS LIKE FINANCIAL LITERACY AND INCOME INEQUALITY ET CETERA…
*AND whenever you hear a politician talking about 'Income Inequality' after they've just attended a $50,000 a plate fundraising dinner...
*And whenever you hear about an athlete getting a mega million dollar deal just for throwing a ball...
*And whenever you hear about a CEO getting millions of dollars in a severance deal, just for getting fired...
...at least you can vent some of your frustrations about money with a song about money called "Big Bucks"….The lyrics are timeless and universal.
Another poem I wrote that would also make some powerful song lyrics is a poem called "It used to be Made in America."
The poem is about the loss of jobs and the consequences of the outsourcing of jobs and manufacturing to other countries. You can see the poem in a book I wrote called "Crazy Robert's Poems and Potential Song Lyrics" that you can download for a dollar on Amazon.
