This 2015 song may not ring a bell to many people. However, many music critics praised Trainor’s song as a welcome respite from her usual works. This song focuses more on Trainor’s vocals. While some say the song is a very old-school, formulaic ballad, it was still able to enjoy commercial success in Australia and New Zealand. There is no mistaking the popularity of this Pink Floyd classic. The song gets deeply entrenched in modern pop culture every time there is a generation of musicians gets introduced to the music of Pink Floyd. Like many of Floyd’s songs, “Money” has a very distinct bassline that helps define the song. It provides an overall structure that is so easy and fun to play.
