*专辑With the Beatles中B面第七首也就是最后一首歌。

*Barret Strong在1959年推出的歌曲，作者是Berry Gordy和Jenny Bradford。

*歌词可能是他们早期歌曲中最叛逆的：爱情之类的确不错，但我要的是钱！金钱的确买不到一切，但买不到的东西我也用不找。我要的就是钱！当年未成名时，Paul和George一起附和着John，宣称要达到“toppermost of the poppermost”，大概也在梦想着成名赚大钱吧。为了成名，他们放弃了皮夹克穿上体面的制服，但整齐的衣服下却仍是街头那几个少年充满欲望的心。

*具有讽刺意味的是，虽然此时他们在英国已经红透了半边天，但其实却并没有赚到多少钱。EMI跟他们签的合同相当苛刻，而英国又征收极高的税??Taxman里的“你留下1块钱，我拿走19块”是现实的写照。

*歌曲接近结尾时John喊出了“I wanna be free!”??这是他们渴望金钱的原因。他们希望拥有金钱，靠它得到物质和精神上的自由。至于金钱的限制和名誉的重负，他们暂时还无法体会到。

*Barret Strong是一个黑人歌手，从他口中唱出来，歌词的辛辣和讽刺意味远远不及甲克虫的版本。

*选择这样一首疯狂的摇滚作为唱片的结尾很显然是为了重复Please Please Me中Twist and Shout的辉煌。而Money的表演也确实可以与Twist and Shout相比，让这张专辑同样以一声震响结束。（Not with a whimper but a bang）

*尽管按今天的标准歌曲的配乐显得相当温和，但伟大的摇滚歌手John Winston Lennon和伟大的甲克虫乐队那种充满激情的演唱，却是后人望尘莫及的。

*在With the Beatles发行时，甲克虫已横扫英国和欧洲大陆，但摇滚的发源地美国却仍是一片未被征服的处女地。不过，他们不需要再等很久了。

What Goes On? Anomalies

0:00-0:02 * NEW * In addition to the drum sticks, there is a soft sweeping sound, sounds a little like hihats, but a little too far off mic to be intentional

0:06 Lead "Crunchy" guitar edited in mid strum (mono only)

0:15 * NEW * Soft thump as the guitar portion ends. On the mono CD this thump is quite clearly stereophonic!

0:18 * NEW * Double tracking goes strange on "free"

1:31 * NEW * Long scream, way off microphone.

1:37 * NEW * ADT on vocals comes back in, sounding much different. Possibly re-done for the CD mix?

2:14,2:17 * NEW * Stereo only, as mono makes it hard to hear, George Martin plays wrong piano chords here (right channel)

2:38 * NEW * John hits a high note and his voice croaks badly
