"Silver and Gold"

For some reasons, "Silver and Gold" is quite a popular song title. If you are a fan of T-Pain, Akon and Sway, Vanessa Paradis and Lenny Kravitz, Primal Fear, Vanessa WIlliams, Kirk Franklin, or U2, you may have heard their unique renditions of "Silver and Gold."

In T Pain's song, "Silver and Gold" seems to refer to a mixture of a drink which supposedly makes a man sexually irresistible, becoming "the life of the party," but it's so potent, he ended up being carried home. While Sway and Akon makes reference to T-Pain in their version of "Silver and Gold," their song is actually about a strip tease dancer who's so dangerous and cold, "she'll rob you for your silver and gold." 

On another level, Lenny Kravitz wrote "Silver and Gold," which he performed with Vanessa Paradis. Obviously influenced by Bob Dylan's "Blowin' in the Wind," the song uses the term "silver and gold" to depict mankind's greed for economic gains, depleting the earth's resources without consideration for future generations. Somewhat similarly, Primal Fear's "Silver and Gold" paints an apocalyptic picture filled with troubling images.

In Kirk Franklin's "Silver and Gold," he sings about how he would "rather have Jesus than silver and gold," proclaiming his faith in some amusing analogies. Meanwhile, Vanessa Williams spread some festive cheer in her "Silver and Gold," relating about how silver and gold reminds her of Christmas decorations and the three wise men.

U2 fans will remember Bono rambling about how he wrote "Silver and Gold" in a probably swanky hotel room in New York, highlighting the injustices of Apartheid in South Africa, way back in the late 80s. Now, Apartheid is no more, but that song definitely has some rich metaphors.
