Haven’t thought about this song in years and this post caused me to wonder what a mony mony was...

“According to the story, in James’ Manhattan Apartment, he and his writing partner, Richie Cordell, were actually going through the dictionary, trying to come up with a word. Nothing worked. So, James stepped out onto the balcony to get a breath of fresh air, and there in front of him was a flashing neon sign on top of the 40 story Mutual Of New York Insurance Company. M.O.N.Y. James had his song title. After he told Cordell, the duo “both fell down laughing.””

It's a good thing they weren't looking at the old "Muck & Fuss" sign!
