I've thought of some of the most of the "recent" ones:

Great Big Stuff - DRS
Money, Money, Money - MM
Money Makes the World Go Round -C
Hard Knock Life -A
We're in the Money -42
Feed Me - LSOH

(you can tell the "money" theme is loose based on those.)

Any other ideas?

"Rent" and "You'll See"?

Uh, "Glitter and Be Gay"? Roughly speaking?

"Quarter in the Bleach Cup", "Caroline Takes My Money Home", "Little Reward," "A Twenty Dollar Bill and Why", "The Twenty Dollar Bill"...

Yeah, I guess you could say money is an ongoing theme in Caroline, or Change. :)

And, of course, "All I Care About is Love".

Wait! I'm on a roll!

"We're In the Money"

"The Ballad of Czolgosz" (sort of)

"Wouldn't It Be Loverly?"

If I'm remembering right, "Scrap" from The Full Monty.

Uh..."Along Came Bialy"? :P
