Five songs for Tax Day

Biggie Smalls, a sage voice on financial matters

Taxes are great. They pay for roads, trains, education, fire, police, medical care, Social Security and all sorts of things we can't imagine life without. However, they also make for great material for peeved songwriters, who usually have more to surrender to the IRS than most (unless you're the Rolling Stones, which has famously avant-garde accountants).

If you're still lollygagging on those returns -- they're due today, you know -- here are a few jams to get you through that last 1099.

The Beatles: "Taxman"

The gold standard of the tax-revolt genre. Catchy enough to make that check to the government feel like a thank-you letter.
