We're in the money

This morning (1.3.09) on the Second Cup Cafe (CBS), they played "We're in the Money" as a theme for their segment, Chef on a Shoestring; that song was written in 1929; it was very popular throughout The Great Depression; in 1933, Ginger Rogers sang and danced to "We're in the Money" in a costume made of silver coins in the movie The Golddiggers; it's interesting that in today's economic crisis, a popular song from The Great Depression of 1929 is revived on a popular TV show; has anyone heard, "Buddy, Can You Spare a Dime" lately?
