Since the beginning, in Aarhus, 20 years ago, they have developed into a professional and perpetual success with Swedish Abba as their ideal. The need to worship Abba and their music did far from vanish with the break up of the group in 1982.
Abba Revival Bands unerring cover has convinced many fans and led the band on a successful pop-odyssey with Abba's fantastic pop songs and cool seventies-glam in the trunk. With the billing, "The Original Abba Revival Band From Scandinavia" they have successfully toured for a great number of years and appeared on several TV- and radio shows in Scandinavia, Greenland and Germany.
The Abba Revival Band members are currently seven show musicians from Aarhus, Copenhagen and Stockholm. The band performs using the classic abba-line-up with the two couples in front and a backing band.
The overall impression of the sound, the costumes and the show comes close to the real thing and many festivals; company parties and clubs have given in to the irresistible urge to party, dance and sing-a-long.
Money Money Money
Abba Revival Band Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ain't it sad
And still there never seems to be a single penny left for me
That's too bad
In my dreams I have a plan
If I got me a wealthy man
I wouldn't have to work at all, I'd fool around and have a ball...
Must be funny
In the rich man's world
Money, money, money
Always sunny
In the rich man's world
Aha-ahaaa
All the things I could do
If I had a little money
It's a rich man's world
A man like that is hard to find but I can't get him off my mind
Ain't it sad
And if he happens to be free I bet he wouldn't fancy me
That's too bad
So I must leave, I'll have to go
To Las Vegas or Monaco
And win a fortune in a game, my life will never be the same...
Money, money, money
Must be funny
In the rich man's world
Money, money, money
Always sunny
In the rich man's world
Aha-ahaaa
All the things I could do
If I had a little money
It's a rich man's world
Money, money, money
Must be funny
In the rich man's world
Money, money, money
Always sunny
In the rich man's world
Aha-ahaaa
All the things I could do
If I had a little money
It's a rich man's world
It's a rich man's world
The lyrics of Abba Revival Band's Money Money Money tackle the issue of financial struggles and the desire for wealth. The song paints a picture of the daily grind of working hard to pay bills but still having nothing left for oneself. The phrase "Money, money, money" is repeated several times throughout the song, emphasizing its central theme.
The opening lines "I work all night, I work all day, to pay the bills I have to pay, ain't it sad" are a statement of the frustration and disappointment of living in a world where money seems to be the only key to happiness. The singer dreams of a world where she could be free from financial stress and indulge in a life of extravagance with a wealthy man who would take care of her needs.
The chorus "Money, money, money, must be funny, in the rich man's world, money, money, money, always sunny, in the rich man's world" is a satirical take on the role of money in society. The phrase 'must be funny' implies a sarcastic note to the idea of wealth, which is always seen as desirable, but not necessarily achievable for everyone. The lines 'always sunny' point to the idea that rich people's lives may seem carefree, but that doesn't necessarily mean they are happy. It's a commentary on the illusion of wealth making everything perfect.
Overall, the song is a portrayal of the universal desire for financial security and a brighter future.
