The soul group, the O’Jays, had a string of hits throughout the 1970s. Songs such as "Backstabbers" and "Love Train" were staples of Top 40 radio of the time and the O'Jays enjoyed phenomenal success for a number of years. They released their hit song “For the Love of Money” in 1973. The song is easily identifiable by the rhythmic chant, "Money, money, money, money – MONEY!" For 2012, the liberal group, the O’Bamas, have re-released the tune. The lyrics have changed and the title is now “For the Love of Government”.
