This song, popularized by Cyndi Lauper on her debut solo album She's So Unusual, carries a potent message about how material wealth can fundamentally alter relationships and perspectives. Written by Tom Gray of the Brains, it delves into the unsettling realization that financial circumstances can shift loyalties and change the course of human connections. Playing it means channeling that raw, almost cursed feeling of seeing the world, and the people in it, through a starkly different lens once money enters the equation. It's a song about the harsh realities of how economics can reshape personal bonds.
