Come on, come on, turn the radio on
It's Friday night and I won't be long Gotta do my hair, I put my make up on It's Friday night and I won't be long Til I hit the dance floor Hit the dance floor I got all I need No I ain't got cash I ain't got cash But I got you baby Baby I don't need dollar bills to have fun tonight (I love cheap thrills) Baby I don't need dollar bills to have fun tonight (I love cheap thrills) But I don't need no money As long as I can feel the beat I don't need no money As long as I keep dancing Come on, come on, turn the radio on It's Saturday and I won't be long Gotta paint my nails, put my high heels on It's Saturday and I won't be long Til I hit the dance floor Hit the dance floor I got all I need No I ain't got cash I ain't got cash But I got you baby Baby I don't need dollar bills to have fun tonight (I love cheap thrills) Baby I don't need dollar bills to have fun tonight (I love cheap thrills) But I don't need no money As long as I can feel the beat I don't need no money As long as I keep dancing (I love cheap thrills) (I love cheap thrills) I don't need no money As long as I can feel the beat I don't need no money As long as I keep dancing Oh, oh Baby I don't need dollar bills to have fun tonight (I love cheap thrills) Baby I don't need dollar bills to have fun tonight (I love cheap thrills) I don't need no money As long as I can feel the beat I don't need no money As long as I keep dancing La, la, la, la, la, la (I love cheap thrills) [x4] This song explains the essence of media in the 1920s because the radio and movies were places to escape from the real world and have a good time. Many Americans looked forward to going to the movies or listening to a radio broadcast as their form of entertainment, and it was usually cheap. Hence the correlation between "Cheap Thrills" and the entertainment found in the 1920s. The movies usually cost around $0.27 for one ticket, which is equivalent to about $3.38 in today's money. In the song "Cheap Thrills" SIA mentions how "I don't need no money/Baby I don't need dollar bills to have fun tonight/I love cheap thrills". The song describes how in order to have a good time, there is no need to spend a lot of money when there are fun, cheap things to do, much like how Americans in the 1920s enjoyed affordable entertainment.
