The first prechorus feels more like the former, while the second prechorus seems to be the latter you may well disagree.ĭuring the first eight bars of the chorus the bass mirrors the vocal both rhythmically and melodically before venturing off into new territory with some ear-grabbing slides. Money, Money, Money became a worldwide hit, making it the second hit from Arrival. The goal of this research is to understand attitudes towards money in China and how these attitudes affect elements of consumer behavior such as materialism and vanity.

The track reached number one in eight countries, but was one of the few ABBA singles not to top the charts in the UK.
