What BBN said on air
Chip DarnellA viewer on bbn. live asks: does money jiggle jiggle, or dribble dribble, or are songs just lying about money?
Vera BullockThe plain answer is that paper money is cotton and linen paper, and it mostly just sits there folded. The jiggle is the songwriter.
Chip DarnellSo if I shook my wallet right now, I should hear a little jiggle, and I'm hearing nothing, which means my wallet is broken.
Vera BullockCoins jingle. Bills don't. Your wallet is fine.
Chip DarnellAnd dribble? Do people bounce cash off the bank floor? Is the teller just the ref?
Vera BullockLyrics call that a sound effect, Chip. The industry calls it a rhyme. I'd call it a very confident creative partnership with the truth.
Chip DarnellWait, so songs about money are just vibes?
