"Money's Not Speech" was written by Marilyn Rucker (BMI)
Marilyn Rucker, also known as “The Wicked Wit of the West”, sizzles on the piano and sings a mean song. Not mean spirited, mind you, but the lyrics are far darker and more satirical than you might expect from someone who studied at Miss Maisie Baldritch’s School of Elocution and Deportment. Her music has jazz/folk/pop/rock influences and can be described as a cloning of Tom Lehrer, Weird Al Yanokovic, Blossom Dearie, Dave Frishberg, Nina Simone, Diana Krall, and a dab of Ray Charles.
