| I think you got the titles mixed up, which is easy to do because they do get confusing, especially since they have been known by different titles in different productions. "Money Song" was the original title for the stage version, and "Money, Money" was the title listed on the soundtrack LP for the film, but the Broadway playbills for the Mendes-Marshall production listed it as "Money," while many call it "Money Makes the World Go Round." People sometimes call the original stage version "Sitting Pretty," perhaps because "Money Song" might refer to either version, while "Sitting Pretty" makes it clear which they mean. FYI - the published version of the score (i.e. the original 1966 version of the show), and the Tams script for that version, do contain the title "Sitting Pretty." There is no mention of anything called "The Money Song" even though I know it has also been called that. |

| Thanks. I think I had seen at some point that it was called "Sitting Pretty" in the published score and the Tams script, but it certainly has also been called "The Money Song." It was called "The Money Song" in the playbill for the original production, on the cast recording of the original production (LP and CD issues), in the program for the London production, and on the cast recording of that production (LP and CD issues), and in the published script. It's one of those oddities, but certainly most people who saw Cabaret in one of the incarnations of the original production or had the OBCR or the OLCR would have known it as "The Money Song," and even now on the CD issues it's called that. So it seems to me that it's probably more widely known as "The Money Song," for whatever that's worth. | |

| In one scene, Cliff, Sally and Max dance together on music from a Gramophone. The music they are dancing to is "The Money Song." (No lyrics). On the HIP-O LP release of the film's soundtrack, that track is called "Sitting Pretty." | |
