When I make an announcement of the theme for a countdown there are songs that automatically pop into folks’ minds. This is probably the one everyone thought of when I said I’d do songs that mention a type of money in the title. Oh, and that happy announcement that I made on the ‘money” half, about that being the last country song? Well, on this side, it’s the last non-country song. Sorry. Enjoy.
#7: Penny Lane - The Beatles
So why isn’t this Shilling Lane, Paul? Hmmm???? 
As you probably know, Penny Lane runs through Liverpool, complete with a roundabout, a barber shop, and a banker. Very strange. 
McCartney just through back on his childhood memories of the street, and out came this classic tune.
Enjoy.

Great song by great artists. So far you haven't played the ones that came to my mind first. One is from a movie soundtrack; and the other one is by a famous Swedish group.

The Swedish group’s song didn’t make the cut. It was on the list, though.

My only guess is that it was named after someone, because Penny is a woman’s name.

@FourWalls nobody knows , they originally thought a slave trader, but looked into it further during black lives matter and found the dates didnt stack up

A #1 classic from the Fab Four! "Baby Your A Rich Man" if you bought that album with all those Rock Chestnuts
