Street Cents Intro/Theme Song "Where's My Money Go?"

The original theme song and intro as sung by the first 3 hosts Benita Ha, Jonathan Torrens and Jamie Bradley ."Street Cents" has basically become an institution on the Canadian-taxpayer funded CBC. Beginning in 1989 it's probably had over 20 hosts.

I wrote that "lame song" many years ago. It was originally written for a dream sequence skit, not as the theme. The lyrics were quite different, and did not include rhyming "Street Cents". That was a request sent in by the producers as we were recording it. By the way, it was recorded in the same studio in Halifax as Sloan's first album - Smeared I think.
If we had known it was going to be used more than once, we may have taken it a bit more seriously.
"Take the roylaties and run!"

Bruce Chapman it is so catchy and nostalgic!

I've never forgotten the lyrics! Bravo!

The melody is definitely part of my childhood.

I missed the pit, was the best part of the show, watching crap get blown up!

I wish they'd bring this show back. We've needed it since the recession hit.

Nice song. Great for todays generation. I want Street Cents to come back to CBC.

Our world governments need some "Street Cents"

To me, the show went downhill in early 1996 when that Rachel girl showed up. Replacing Anna I think her name was.
It totally bottomed out when Jono left.

Classic.

Ethan and Diddle are right. Jono is the most talented fellow to pass through this show. He started out as a special guest doing an early version of the guy who only eats at McDonalds and begins to ruin his health. Also the best singer by far. Great guy.

When was this guest spot? That would be years before Morgan Spurlock's "Supersize Me"!

Wow, I thought I was the only who remembered this show. Thanks for posting. What a lame song, but I remember singing it in junior high because they showed this awful show at my school. How embarrassing.
