Funny Money Friday: Credit Song

Money doesn't have to be boring! Each week, CreditBloggers.com takes a look at the lighter side of the personal finance world in a series called Funny Money Friday.

Being a huge credit geek, I love it when credit gets a mention in mainstream culture. It's becoming more and more common to see story lines about identity theft, credit scores, predatory lending, etc. on TV sitcoms, movies and music.

One of my favorite credit mentions right now is from British pop singer, Lilly Allen. The song, Everything's Just Wonderful is super catchy and the refrain goes like this:

I wanna get a flat I know I can't afford it,
It's just the bureaucrats who won't give me a mortgage,
Well it's very funny cos I got your #$*&@%&^ money,
And I'm never gonna get it just because of my bad credit
Oh well I guess I mustn't grumble,
I suppose that's just the way the cookie crumbles.

Lilly, we're here for you if you need any help with your bad credit! Just send an email to tidbits@credit.com. Happy Friday!
