You hear this song in movies, usually just a clip though.

I think it's a remake of John Lennon's "money (that's what I want)", except it's sung by an oriental woman.

I think it was played in the 2000 charlie's angels.

???

Money (That's What I Want) [5:52] [Barry Gordy Jr. / Janie Bradford] by the Flying Lizards

The best things in life are free
But you can give them to the birds and bees
I want money

(chorus):
(That's what I want)
That's what I want (That's what I want)
That's what I want (That's what I want)
That's what I want (That's what I want)

Your love brings me such a thrill
But your love won't pay my bills
I want money

Money don't get everything it's true
What it don't get I can't use
I want money

I want money
I want to borrow some money
In fact I want so much money
Give me your money
Just give me money

...snip...

Flying Lizards version of Money is also available on the sound track to "The Wedding Singer"

BTW the video that goes with the song is WAY cool - and yes, the photos of how they got the interesting variant of the cymbol sound is accurate (It's them tapping on a ceramic tea pot with a loose lid - it's the lid shaking)
