8. Money Honey: “Money Honey” is an example of EXACTLY what Gaga’s debut album The Fame is all about. This is the Lady Gaga that we all fell in love with: obnoxiously shallow, simplistically contrived, and not claiming to be anything that she is not. “Money Honey” explores the wondrous world of the rich and famous, and the finer things in life — comparing the galore of money with the intoxication of love: “It’s good to live expensive, you know it but my knees get weak, intensive when you give me k-kisses, that’s money honey!”
Produced by RedOne and penned by Gaga herself (alongside RedOne and Bilal Hajji), this synth heavy pop spectacular is without a doubt one of the album’s under-appreciated songs. It takes me to a place I’d rather be…you know, on a yacht somewhere sipping champagne and being insufferable.
