the bandmates’ mutual contempt is amusing Comment from : @aidanflynn1577 |
|
Deborah’s “Do I give a f***” style hasn’t changed since the song! Comment from : @Knappa22 |
|
"I'm not much of a musician and the singer kind of couldn't sing very well" That candor is exactly why the song was a hit and still resonates today! ✌️☮️✌️ Comment from : @johnmcquilkin |

“I want money…I want lots of money…in fact I want so much money…just give me money…” Comment from : @hebneh |
|
This is very interesting, because they are explaining their first hit record - however, it is not the first record The Flying Lizards released Their first single was a cover of Summertime Blues, originally recorded by Eddie Cochrane Deborah sounds petulant, and wossiname Cunningham hilarious They only made 1500 of the record, and me and the woman who became my wife each had one Comment from : @LessAiredvanU |
|
She seems as deadpan in real life as she is on record Comment from : @richalderson6069 |

I will forever remember this song I was going into high school at the time Suddenly this uber bizarre bland bare song came on the radio and everyone just kind of looked at it sideways It sounded like it was recorded by someone in their kitchen using their pots and pans It sounded terrible But it was also interesting because of it Now it is a classic To me it is the version of money Comment from : @roquefortfiles |
|

|
Wow, #5 in the UK I remember taping Summertime Blues off of the local (San Francisco) underground music show Knowing I'd never find it at Tower records, I had to walk past the 6th Street winos to get to the closest Rough Trade Comment from : @rossonero9536 |
|
I have watched other interviews with the group and all these years later you can tell there is still some hard feelings amoung the former members for a few reasons A Good version of the song thow I think it relays the coldness and materialism of the subject of the song The beatles vershion and lennon allmost make it to warm and rosy with there singing style masking the very ichy and materialistic/gold digging subject matter of the song itself The flying lizzards style for this song as they said drained it of its warmth and gave a straightforward approch that is both catchy and uncomfortable all at once Comment from : @ejenima7263 |
|
Still a great groovy version of Money Comment from : @Scrapper |
|
Can remember Deborah wearing a pithe helmet at walthamstow college Comment from : @dinastanford7779 |
|
Fascinating to listen to from release Barrett Strong's will always be the best, of course Comment from : @sab6261 |
|
Why isn't there any this kind of music today? Comment from : @aris95 |
|
Drained of it's warmth? Are you kidding? I fell in love the first time I heard it Finally, an honest woman Well, it was a passing thought I eventually married a devout Christian woman and was very happy Comment from : @edwardbaker1331 |
|
I prefer this version to the Beatles version There, I said it Do love the original by Barrett Strong Comment from : @mairimillar6606 |
|
Great! Comment from : @rachelsmith8944 |
|
I had no idea the song came out a few months before Thatcher's election Comment from : @troygaspard6732 |
|
I still listen to this song a lot! 👍👍👍 Comment from : @lazio7495 |
|
Evans-Stickland employed the Andy Warhol philosophy of doing things the easy way Comment from : @CoreyChambersLA |
|
great cover but better than Barrett Strong's original? You can't be serious And the Beatles' Decca version is also killer Comment from : @Tralfaz666 |
|
4:00 👏 Comment from : @kubura762 |
|
Such a unique act, I loved every single thing they did It wasn't ever enough! Comment from : @theoriginalbluey |
|
A good cover,remembered it well that year along with Blondie, The Jam,Boomtown Rats, Dave Edmunds,Neil Diamond,Ian Dury and the Blockheads, The Knack Comment from : @brianmorecombe2726 |
|
A song about just wanting money Seemingly being done without much effort, with no real instuments andnot actually being sing While having a good beat just makes it much better than the original brAt least for me, who lived with people who struggled to pay for things, this cover just hits harder Comment from : @user-xp8nq5mf9y |
|
Flying lizards are the best versionsince Comment from : @mariarussell2643 |
|
Yes, but what was Deborah doing swinging around in mid air for?! Comment from : @AmcicAberkan |

A couple of people who made a shit load from by their own admission, very little talent, refreshingly, don't take themselves too seriously They're still raking in the royalties, and I still got my original 7inch single in it's Warhole-esque sleeve Comment from : @caribstu |
|
Quite a unique rendition After she says "that's what I want" I often thought the next sound was like that of an elephant Comment from : @redjones8010 |
|
I liked that the vid was Sweeney'd up ;O) Comment from : @squeeth2895 |
|
I assumed they were German Now I think she sounds the way the queen would if the queen had recorded this That's a compliment Comment from : @HC-cb4yp |
|
I remember her vocal being described in The Telegraph as sounding like "a snarling Montmartre hooker" :) Comment from : @stephengoodman2424 |
|
Her eyes and speaking mannerism remind me of George Orwell Comment from : @Steve-eu5rv |

|
SANG FROID Comment from : @jackellsworthsavage5384 |

How honest , how humble ; not much of a musician ,a singer that can’t sing but they made something compelling Comment from : @davidrussell8689 |

|
Family Guy brought me here! Never seen the video before Classic song Comment from : @simoneast1973 |
|
As much a novelty song as Joe Dolce Is funny watching them try and tart it up as being something more Comment from : @black__bread |
|
This kind of snuck in with new wave pop? I f don't know if '79 was too early for new wave but I feel that music was changing fast enough in the late 70s that this version of Money had a vapid mechanical feel to it as bands with mechanised synths were kicking off Comment from : @greigclement9081 |
|
I have always liked the Flying Lizards version of money It also brings back memories of when I was 18 years old when this hit came out Originally written by Berry Gordy and Janie Bradford Comment from : @ByGraceIGo |

Age six and I loved this tune The oddness to the sound was what I liked about it when I heard it on the radio Only later in life was I to appreciate the irony of this version and what it came to represent Comment from : @megamarkd |
