And once the music is out there, when you're selling a record and selling music and people are going to do whatever they want with it, it's kind of hard to resist certain opportunities, especially in the record market now.

WHAT DOES OPPORTUNITIES MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Opportunities (Let's Make Lots of Money)

"Opportunities " is a song by UK duo Pet Shop Boys, released as a single in 1985 and then in 1986, gaining greater popularity in both the UK and U.S. with its second release, reaching number 11 in the UK Singles Chart and number 10 in the US Billboard Hot 100. Written as a satire of Thatcherism and its embodiment in conspicuous consumption and yuppies in the United Kingdom during the 1980s, the song's indirect attack on its subject matter has come to exemplify the Pet Shop Boys as ironists in their songwriting.
