    Hundred Dollar Bill is a Jay-Z song. I'm not sure where Dame Nellie Melba fits in.

      She's on the Australian $100 bill (though I rather hope that they refer to it as a note like normal people)

                                  Well there isn't really a cryptic bit. Neo was a character famously played by KR, and KR is also seen (by some) as a handsome and desirable man. That kind of double definition is not unusual, is it?

                                    Ta- I didn't know the Neo character. Thought I was missing something obvious.
