"money dance" song

So it seems like tradition in the area, and among family, so we've decided to do the "money dance". Where friends and family get to line up and each gets a dance with the bride or groom after giving a buck or 2 to the best man or maid of honor (who later gives it to us :)

I am trying to come up with songs.
I was thinking "a little help from my friends" by the Beatles
and "Brown Eyed Girl"
Any other suggestions?

    The tradition I come from is that you dance the polka for the entire thing.

    I was at a friend's wedding and they played "If I Had $1,000,000" by the Bare Naked Ladies to start it, which I thought was cute. There's also Pink Floyd's "Money" and Prince's "Kiss." Fun songs about money, you know? (Well, Pink Floyd calls it the root of all evil, but they aren't grabby money songs.)

    I am not a fan of the money dance, but if you want to do one, please keep it to two songs max!!  I recently attended a wedding with a never ending money dance, it got a little old!  And, people were just getting in line over again because the bride and groom were running out of people to dance with....a mess.  So, keep it reasonably short if you do it.

    We are using Opportunity by the Pet Shop Boys...just to add a little humor to the dance....I may still cut the dollar dance.....I'm on the fence about it.  FI wants it and I remember when I was a kid at weddings thinking it was so exciting  to line up an dance with the groom ro bride...idk
