I Don't Want No Scrub by TLC

"I Always Get What I Want" by Avril Lavigne

Every now and then we all want something
Even if there's no way of gettin' it
If i stomp my feet could that make me
Be the way around it, could I get myself around it

Get me what I want
Everything I don't got
Get me what I want
Cause Im a big shot

Don't wanna always have to be so nice
Don't wanna hear you say well thats just life
I dry out when I open my mouth
I make my way around it, make my way around it

Get me what I want
Everything I don't got
Get me what I want
Cause Im a big shot

So give me what I want
I always get what I want
You don't want to see me when
I don't get what I want
Thats not what you want

I'm not about to take no for an answer
no
If I tell you I cant I'm still gonna go
I did it all by myself
I found my way around it

Get me what I want
Everything I don't got
Get me what I want
Cause Im a big shot
So give me what I want
I always get what I want
Don't want to see me when
I don't get what I want
Thats not what you want

It's not too lovely
It could start to get ugly
It really bugs me
If I don't get my way

Get me what I want
Everything I don't got
Get me what I want
Cause I'm a big shot
So give me what I want
I always get what I want
Don't want to see me when
I don't get what I want
Thats not what you want

Rich Girl by Hall & Oats

Another one I thought of:

More by Madonna as Breathless Mahoney in Dick Tracy

If I Had a Million Dollars - Bare Naked Ladies

I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!!! I liked BNL before they were "cool"....shows my age, doesn't it?

What about "I'm too Sexy" by Right Said Fred or "Rock n Roll Lifestyle"? I think they're quirky enough the kids will like them. Most of them know Material Girl from flashback type shows on the 80s....

Rock'n'Roll Lifestyle

Well, your CD collection looks shiny and costly.
How much did you pay for your bad Moto Guzi?
And how much did you spend on your black leather jacket?
Is it you or your parents in this income tax bracket?

Now tickets to concerts and drinking at clubs,
Sometimes for music that you haven't even heard of.
And how much did you pay for your rock'n'roll t-shirt
That proves you were there,
That you heard of them first?

How do you afford your rock'n'roll lifestyle?
How do you afford your rock'n'roll lifestyle?
How do you afford your rock'n'roll lifestyle?
Ah, tell me.

How much did you pay for the chunk of his guitar,
The one he ruthlessly smashed at the end of the show?
And how much will he pay for a brand new guitar,
One which he'll ruthlessly smash at the end of another show?
And how long will the workers keep building him new ones?
As long as their soda cans are red, white, and blue ones.
And how long will the workers keep building him new ones?
As long as their soda cans are red, white, and blue ones.

Aging black leather and hospital bills,
Tattoo removal and dozens of pills.
Your liver pays dearly now for youthful magic moments,
But rock on completely with some brand new components.

How do you afford your rock'n'roll lifestyle?
How do you afford your rock'n'roll lifestyle?
How do you afford your rock'n'roll lifestyle?

Excess ain't rebellion.
You're drinking what they're selling.
Your self-destruction doesn't hurt them.
Your chaos won't convert them.
They're so happy to rebuild it.
You'll never really kill it.
Yeah, excess ain't rebellion.
You're drinking what they're selling.
Excess ain't rebellion.
You're drinking,
You're drinking,
You're drinking what they're selling.
