Summary: do-re-mi (with *some* kind of spelling) is slang for "money",
albeit that might be spelled dough-re-mi since it's related to the shorter
slang "dough" for "money". I don't know how long "bread" for "money" has
been around, but IIRC it got popular/mainstream in the late 1960s; I think
it may have been an outgrowth of "dough", which has been around for a long
time.
