	Rich Girl - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The song also interpolates the song "If I Were a Rich Man" written by Sheldon Harnick and Jerry Bock for the musical Fiddler on the Roof.
		Although the song is based on "If I Were a Rich Man", it was also an adaptation of an earlier pop song by British reggae musicians Louchie Lou and Michie One.
		"Rich Girl" was released on February 21, 2005 in Australia, and on March 14, 2005 in Europe.

	Gwen Stefani - Rich Girl \| Review \| PlanetWisdom.com
		First released as pre-album single July 12th, “Rich Girl” featuring Eve is essentially a remix of the “Fiddler on the Roof”; musical classic “If I Were a Rich Man.” It’s a funky, catchy pop song, produced by Dr. Dre.
		And that’s were the song ends up with Gwen and Eve ranting about their success and all the love they’re getting because of it.
		In Matthew 19 a young rich man asks Jesus, “What good thing must I do to get eternal life?” And Jesus tells him that to be perfect he must sell off all his possessions and give to the poor, then follow come and follow him.

	Fiddler on the Roof (1964 Original Broadway Cast) \| Jerry Bock, Sheldon Harnick, ... \| wonderful,...
		Many of Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick's songs have become touchstones of popular culture, including "Tradition," "If I Were a Rich Man," and "Sunrise, Sunset." As Tevye, Zero Mostel leads--and at times dominates--the original 1964 Broadway cast, displaying irrepressible swagger and bluster.
		Tevye, a god fearing man with three young daughters he wants to marry off, is having real trouble deciding on the proper husbands for them because the young women prove perfectly capable of making the decision for themselves.
		The songs I enjoy the most from this album are "If I Were A Rich Man," "To Life," "The Dream," "Sunrise, Sunset," and "The Rumor." Overall, this album is ok...it's worth a listen.

		If you are wondering about the title to this entry, that is the best take I can get on quoting “If I Were a Rich Man” from fiddler on the roof.
		I remember saying to myself, “If I were a rich man I would buy that furniture.” That phrase triggered that darn song and it has been in my mind ever since.
		If I were a rich man is my permanent head song.

		If your band or orchestra is rehearsing well, there's a moment when you suddenly realize, "My God, it's all shaping up", when you suddenly realize you're listening to the entire work as opposed to your own part or the parts of those around you.
		If I could be a farmer I'd probably be a cattle rancher as opposed to an actual farmer.
		If I were a writer by trade, as opposed to just being a writer by calling myself one, I would write the stuff that I'm already writing.

		That song was first heard on the new settlements in "Palestine" then in the dark crowded ghettos of Europe.
		The Song of Moses mentioned earlier was part of the daily liturgy in the Temple at Jerusalem, as were many of the psalms.
		One such song, written by Mitchell Glaser and Moishe Rosen, is an invitation song in the words of Scripture (Zechariah 4), calling people to return to the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

	If he were a rich man (Metro Times Detroit)
		If you were annoyed by my garbageman story, you might not like a lot of Richman’s songs.

		But if you were sitting on a bench for four hours, watching him interact and connect with those around him, you’d realize his fly-by-whim eccentricity.

	WorldNetDaily: If I were a rich man
		One of the most memorable numbers in the musical, Fiddler on the Roof, is Tevye's what-if song, "If I Were a Rich Man." There in his ramshackle barn the poor, Jewish dairyman living in czarist Russia daydreams about being wealthy.
		In the introduction to his song, Tevye sheepishly admits, "I realize, of course, that it's no shame to be poor." Maybe, if there's no shame in it, we should just content ourselves with being poor.
		So even if the old codger is being a jerk and stashing his loot, his pigheaded decision still benefits those around him.

		If I were a rich man, I'd buy these in a heartbeat.
		I know if it were up for much less, Dave Smith at the Archives would want to buy it "back"; it really belongs at the Academy Library, UCLA, Disney's archives or somewhere where scholars, writers and others can access it.
		I think he got in big time trouble but is still there (due to his importance in voice work) but I would often see him at those howard lowery auctions watching his lots get bid on, so I imagine he still had quite a bit of stuff.

		The brilliance of this song is in its ability to introduce the village and our protagonist, but it also sets up the theme of the show.
		The song ends with the three girls joined by the youngest two daughters singing out of their upstairs window.
		The gorgeous orchestrations of "If I were a Rich Man", "To Life" and "Miracle of Miracles" provided ample time for moviegoers to return to their seats before we hear a Choral reprise of Tradition over the corn harvest visuals.

		It's a cover of the song "if I were a rich man" from Fiddler On The Roof.
		It's shocking enough that they'd try and pass off a jewish show tune for a hip hop song but the real shocker is listeners don't have a clue.

		Some guy once impressed me by humming the theme from "The Munsters" and joining it seamlessly with "If I Were a Rich Man" from "Fiddler on the Roof." In idle moments, I try to repeat this amazing feat, but I can't figure out how the songs fit together.
		It was something of a "metasong" with lyrics stating the part of the song currently being sung.
		One type of song would get more popular the more times it had been heard and then would plummet in popularity when a person had heard it around fifteen times.

	The Classical Free-Reed, Inc.: Essays: The Accordion and Fiddler on the Roof
		There are many register changes in the accordion part which featured all the eleven varieties of timbres the instrument can produce, from the 16-foot "bassoon" stop to the 4-foot "piccolo" stop, and all the combinations between.
		At first the accordion is used in If I Were A Rich Man as a rhythm instrument, as an accompaniment to Tevye's singing.
		During this verse (measure 36 to 51), the woodwind instruments (flute, clarinets and oboe) imitate the various clucking and quacking sounds of domesticated fowl.

	Big Musical Movie Themes
		On this album Geoff Love has selected the best-known and most successful songs from the dozen most prominent film musicals of the last decade and has added his own unique brand of arrangement to each of these items to provide an indispensable collection of Big Musical Movie Themes.
		Since Burt Bacharach and Hal David teamed up in 1957 they have written 192 songs together, but surprisingly their score for the film "Lost Horizon", which was chosen to feature in the Royal Film Performance of 1973, marked the first occasion on which they had composed a complete screen musical.
		The three songs which serve to complete Geoff's selection on this album have all become firmly established as perennial favourites in their own right.

		This is a good structure for group numbers and lends itself to up-tempo stuff.
		- Sometimes a verse-chorus song will also have a "bridge" like a tag-line song - that is, the section just before the final chorus will be a "verse" but will be musically different than the previous verses.

		If I were a rich man If I were a wealthy man I wouldn't have to work hard I'd just sit there on the second tier and stare And stare and stare and glare down As the tears fall down

		Agenda Anuit Coeptis I chant in Latin tongues And they cannot exorcise My consummation They drink my wine and are frozen Convinced that it's my blood And they laugh and laugh and laugh As the tears fall down And they stare and stare and glare As the tiers fall down
