1) A Merseybeat group of the early 1960s remembered for songs like "Just a Little Bit" and "I Fell in Love." Jackie Lomax provided lead vocals for the popular group.
2) The Undertakers were Kevin Shapen, Jason Hill, Pat Yonally and Todd Kinner, a garage punk revival band from Eugene, Oregon. Formed in 1991 by five high school dropouts that were more concerned about chicks and beer than if they were gonna land a top 100 hit. Influenced by The Sonics, Wailers, Kingsmen and countless others, The Undertakers prided themselves on raw energy and teen anger. After two years of playing countless basement dives and seedy nightclubs throughout Washington and Oregon, the band was discovered by Fred Cole. Their debut and only single "Time Machine" was released on the label Tombstone in October 1991. 2001 saw the release of 13 "lost" Undertakers tracks - resurrected and remastered - on the Dutch label No Brains Records.

The Undertakers' "Money" is a classic rock and roll song with iconic lyrics about the pursuit of wealth. The song's opening lines, "The best things in life are free, but you can keep them for the birds and bees," set the tone for the chorus that follows, which makes no bones about what the singer wants: money. The lyrics state that although love might feel good, it can't pay the bills, and money is ultimately what the singer is after.

Some see it as a commentary on the greed and materialism of modern society, while others believe that it's simply a fun rock song that celebrates the joys of wealth. The song speaks volumes about the human capacity to chase our dreams and the drive to succeed, but it also points to the importance of having a balanced perspective.
One thing is for sure: "Money" is one of the most iconic and enduring rock songs of all time, thanks to the dynamic guitar riffs, fiery vocals, and memorable lyrics that make it hard to resist singing along.
