Tax in song

18th August 2019

This post was published over 1 year ago. Please keep in mind that some of the information may have changed during that time.

There are loads of songs about love and relationships but relatively few about the relationship we love to hate – tax. We had a think and came up with these happy ditties.

Please let us know if you can think of any others.

“Taxman”  – The Beatles. “There’s one for you. 19 for me” says the tax collector in this 1966 song.

“Sunny Afternoon” – The Kinks. “The taxman’s taken all my dough”

“Success Story” – The Who. “I’ve gotta play some one-night stands. Six for the taxman and one for the band”.

The above are from the 60s when the highest rate of income tax was 91.5%. No wonder many groups left the UK to live abroad.

“Me and the IRS” – Johnny Paycheck. Not well known in the UK this tells the IRS (USA tax authority) to take their tax returns and “shove ‘em!!

“1040 Blues” – Robert Cray. Includes the lyric, “I hate taxes”. He says it was tongue-in-cheek” but a sentiment probably echoed by many people.

“Inner City Blues” – Marvin Gaye.  Marvin sang “Bad breaks, set backs. Natural fact is, I can’t pay my taxes”.

“Taxman, Mr Thief” – Cheap Trick. Includes the line “Taxman: hates you, loves your money”.

“Ain’t we got fun” – Peggy Lee. “Tax collector’s getting closer …….”

“The big royalty cheque” – Van Morrison. Van the Man says, “But you can’t beat the tax man”

 

Perhaps we should organise a dance featuring only songs about tax? Would many of you attend?

I didn’t think so!
