Save Dat Money is definitely the theme song now, but this will be playing on repeat for a long time after I FIRE.

Cool tune.

This one is fitting. I often listen on my way home from work as I ask myself what the heck I’m doing.

Yes, that is one of mine too!

When I'm in a more "classical" mood I turn to the Ritual Fire Dance from Falla's ballet El Amor Brujo. I imagine the dancers as MMM forum members all dancing around the FIRE.

I always like this one:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mE1VgH_gD5Q

 Nothing wrong with the sentiment, but most of us here are looking for FI.
and if you attain FI you are likely to leave a large portion behind when you die.
In that sense it is not mustashian, but many here also look to a fulfilled life before and after
FI, in that sense it works.

The most Mustachian song that I know: Insel (Island) by Farin Urlaub

https://youtu.be/bn4oYD3yVaM?t=2m10s

English lyrics (just replace "island" with "FIRE"):
Quote
Now tell me
Who started the rumor that work is mandatory
Surely it was someone under drug influence
As punishment, you go to bed barefoot, where you can dream
How elves will help you clean your shit

Uh-oh and the alarm rings, it sounds like this (*ring*)
And I rub my eyes and I am happy
I may go to work, it's raining again, life is beautiful

I admire all the people living in big cities
Where you are never all alone, always one of millions
And you rush into the crowd and the stream tears you along
And you struggle a little but somehow you keep up

And you see advertisement wherever you look
Because our economy is built upon advertisement
And there‘s advertisement for everything you don‘t need
So you drive cars, smell different and also smoke

There are no pills against that and no prophylaxis either
I am helpless and my desires are growing
At the same rate as my income grows
So that happiness is always just out of reach
It's like the building of the Tower of Babylon
I‘ve got so many wishes- here‘s one of them

An island in the middle of the sea,
an island where life is easy
No stress, no work, no rush-hour traffic
I often dream about how nice that would be

A nice dream - back to reality
Do you want an island? I tell you what‘s possible
Two weeks at Ibiza, once a year
Go start saving

And the father asks: Why don‘t we ever have any money, my child?
Because we do not own the means of production
And value that we produce makes others rich
And they build mansions for themselves or just buy

An island in the middle of the sea,
an island where life is easy
Where I eat freshly caught fish every day
I often dream about how nice that would be

Blue sea and white sand
And high sky and wide beach
And a lot of water and little land
And no crocodiles but coconuts

An island in the middle of the sea,
an island where life is easy
My favorite beach would always be empty
I often dream about how nice that would be

Much more philosophical, but I like your taste regardless.

The point of the song wasn't to arrive at death with zero, it was about removing negative attachments and thinking about money and possessions and the suffering that causes. I think those buddhist ideals fit in nicely with the mustachian rejection of blind materialism.

Not a mustachian song other than this line, but when I heard it, it made me think about people buying useless shit that just bogs them down...

"I don't want to fake it, I just want to make it
The ornaments look pretty but they're pulling down the branches of the tree"
