I used to play this frequently on College radio when co-DJing back in the early 80s - until I got booted for inciting a protest outside a play (unrelated). But, this cover was everywhere back then - probably very early 80s for me. Can't recall it in 1979. The deadpan delivery and rough sound plus truly funky video all over MTV or whatever it was we had back then guaranteed this a certain immortality.
Heard that on SiriusXm big 80's on 8, as an lost 80's hit from 1980. I have never heard this music group or, this song before in my life. The song is pretty weird but cool as well!
Haven't found anything about that particular machine, but maybe these interview snippets are of interest for you (it seems, there was no drum machine used at all): David Cunningham (on Vice '13): "The unusual snare drum sound on "Money" was recorded in three different rooms. First Julian Marshall's front room, where we recorded the piano and a metronome. Then I took that up to this echo-y room where Charles Hayward's spare drum kit was sitting, and I overdubbed the drums, just hi-hat and snare. I wasn't getting a decent bass drum sound so that's actually the sound of a bass guitar being hit with a stick. Then the rest of the mixing was done at my studio, a kind of shed at the back of the artist's studio complex building in Brixton. The sound was enhanced by the air in the room really because I initially couldn't get the mic close enough to the drum. I achieved that recording quality because of a lack of cable length, and will power." David Cunningham (on Record Mirror '78): "Then I took the tape to Brixton and put the other bits on there, using a borrowed drum kit. The knock on the record is a snare drum and tambourine being played together, I was hitting the snare drum with a stick. I in a different room to the tape recorder so I just got a very long mike cable and took the mike out to a very echoey room right next to the toilets and overdubbed it. There isn't any bass drum on the record, it's just bass guitar being hit with a stick. Then we put the guitar solo and backing vocal on and put it back onto the Vox, and that was the master tape really."

Will always remind me of my childhood friend, Alan. He and I met in 7th grade, remained friends through HS, and we attended our first year of university together here in Chicago. It was during this year that this song came out and he loved it. He would sing it. He moved to another U, we kept in touch and afterwards he moved to Hawaii where my 1st wife and I met him there at his place. He prepared us dinner. Over the years I lost touch with Alan and just a few short years ago I found out he had died of a brain tumor. I had no idea. Alan, wherever you are - this one's for you.
I love all versions of this song including this one. The person or people who wrote the lyrics, the hook, the melody etc. for this song decades ago really knew how to create and structure a hit song. I'll always love this song!
@@xtrinsicdesign You can still be influenced by what is going on at the time, Joe Strummer of the Clash started making music as early as 1972, but when Sex Pistols started getting traction in '76 he started switching his sound to punk.
@@BeerDad69 yeah,as 80's videos go this isn't bizarre at all. But I love the entirely detached delivery! Oh and apparently it was 79. But that's basically the 80's.😁
Oh lord. I remember when this came out-a couple of us stood around in the campus radio station and listened to it: “This is insane.” “It’s crazy.” “I’M PLAYING IT FIRST!”
One of the songs that provided the soundtrack to my childhood. If anything, it has got better with age. The use of prepared piano is genius and the vocals by Deborah Evans-Stickland are unforgettable.
Just heard this song on public radio. I could have sworn this singer was Asian. it will take me a long time to acclimate to this music style. Kind of like it.
Never understood why some people think this is cold and emotionless. It's two people having sardonic, gleeful Fun and barely controlling their laughter.
I so like this song. It's funny to me. Especially when she says "money can't buy everything it's true - but what don't get I can't use I WANT MONEY!!" Love it!!!
1981 When i got to my first air force barracks in Grand Forks I bought this album at the mall and played it loud. Everyone in the barracks wanted to kill me !!
This was among my very first 'new wave' acquisitions. I had the 12" single, but soon after bought the album. The Flying Lizards were a great part of that new breath of life rock and pop music needed at the time.
Love this song, quirky and just a weird, infectious sound. Maybe it is nostalgia, heard this first in 1979 in a bar called Johnny O's in Newburgh, NY, a favorite hangout during college. Kind of speaks to the era of materialism then.
I love the way that she just spoke the lyrics, as if she's just serious about wanting money. No messing around come on just give me money. Had me laughing for hours.
Mitzi the evil ferret she is a Lady. She controls her emotions, balancing temperance and intelligence with pure femeninity. Most women are lightyears from this state of mind. It's a great shame.
+Mitzi the evil ferret this version is Brilliant, her deadpan demeanor is on purpose...in fact Viviven Goldman is also an accomplished documentarian and adjunct professor of punk and reggae at New York University's (NYU) Clive Davis Department of Recorded Music. She is also an adjunct professor of musical cultures and industry at Rutgers University's School of Communication and Information (Rutgers University).
+The Fantasy Clinic Vivien Goldman did sing with the Flying Lizards, but the lead singer on this song was Deborah Evans-Stickland, who is every bit as posh as her name suggests. I just saw her in a BBC documentary about cover versions. She explained why she spoke the lyrics rather than singing them: 'It's really very simple. Singing is more difficult.'
Wow, this song popped into my head the other day, forgot all about it for years, wild song loved it when I first heard it and turned my friends on to to it many years ago they luved it also. Brings back a lot of memories...
I never knew there was a video. Absolutely Brilliant! Love, The Posh Mumble @ 1:48 In a later live performance, I realised that she is saying, " vast amount of money " The perfect song that took us from the 70's to the 80's
I just love the way she mocks the elitist upper class materialistic snobs and the way the guitarist mocks elitist posers like Yngwie Malmsteen, Steve Vai and the rest of that ilk.

Yeah. This version was super popular when it dropped. I remember hearing it daily on R&B stations in Chicago back then.
