Badfinger - Come and Get It

After the last post this song kept playing in my head. According to the story Paul McCartney wrote this song about the trials and tribulations of dealing with Apple Records for the film The Magic Christian. That is, the crapitalistic corruption of the music industry and what at the time they had to do to sell their records. 

With the song Free Money playing "in the final scene, Ringo and Peter Sellers fill a vat with excrement, throw money in it, and watch as people go in after it - a sentiment the Beatles were feeling around this time." You can see the whole movie here.
