Moneytalks - AC/DC

JEL: a d     

Hey lil' girl,
You want it all
The furs, the diamonds,
The paintin' on the wall!

CHORUS:
C'mon, c'mon! Love me for the money!
C'mon, c'mon! Listen to the moneytalk!
C'mon, c'mon! Love me for the money!
C'mon, c'mon! Listen to the moneytalk!

Assignment:

In the song “Moneytalks” by AC/DC, lead singer Brian Johnson is providing a list of financial inducements to a young lady urging her to “listen to the money.” Do you think people think about money when choosing their mates? Explain. Can you speculate as to why prostitution is illegal in most places?
