Apprentice's music

[justvisiting]

One element I have loved about the show is the various music.

Of course, the "money money money,,,,MONEY" them song by the 70s group The O'Jays is great! It really gets ya going and prepares you for the show. (And I know some people are dancin' to that music...I can't be the only one.)

But I also like:

The ominous, ultra-dramatic music as they file into the board room and the music gets more intense as whoever is waiting in the lobby goes back in.

Then, there is the almost tinkling sounding music as the person who is fired exits the building and gets into the taxi.

I also love the thumping music as the board room survivor(s) wheel their luggage back up to the suite.

I sing along with the "Money money..." song in the beginning. It's true-it does get you revved up. It also makes me want to go out and buy a Porsche and drive it around town! Too bad I can't.

There was the Wagnerian-like music as The Donald stepped off the 90th floor elevator at the beginning of the last episode. Anyone know what it was?

It was blaring trumpets.

The name of the song is "For The Love of Money" by The O'Jays (in 1974)

Money money money money, money
Some people got to have it
Some people really need it
Listen to me y'all, do things, do things, do bad things with it
You wanna do things, do things, do things, good things with it
Talk about cash money, money
Talk about cash money- dollar bills, yall

For the love of money
People will steal from their mother
For the love of money
People will rob their own brother
For the love of money
People can't even walk the street
Because they never know who in the world they're gonna beat
For that lean, mean, mean green
Almighty dollar, money

For the love of money
People will lie, Lord, they will cheat
For the love of money
People don't care who they hurt or beat
For the love of money
A woman will sell her precious body
For a small piece of paper it carries a lot of weight
Call it lean, mean, mean green

Almighty dollar

I know money is the root of all evil
Do funny things to some people
Give me a nickel, brother can you spare a dime
Money can drive some people out of their minds

Got to have it, I really need it
How many things have I heard you say
Some people really need it
How many things have I heard you say
Got to have it, I really need it
How many things have I heard you say
Lay down, lay down, a woman will lay down
For the love of money
All for the love of money
Don't let, don't let, don't let money rule you
For the love of money
Money can change people sometimes
Don't let, don't let, don't let money fool you
Money can fool people sometimes
People! Don't let money, dont let money change you,
it will keep on changing, changing up your mind.

I think the original O'Jays song had been jazzed up for TV. Someone may be able to confirm or dispute this.
