"Legal Tender" is the first single released by American new wave band the B-52's from their third studio album Whammy! (1983).
Pierson and Wilson sing about counterfeiting cash in the basement, using it as a feminist metaphor for outsmarting the patriarchy. (New Wave girls love to sing about stealing.)
