Flying Lizards

Money (Promo 12")

Virgin - Atlantic Records (US) / 1979 / DSKO 217
12" single 33 ⅓ rpm vinyl record Promo
Genre: Dance

"Money" is a classic New Wave Dance from The Flying Lizards circa 1979 that sounds as though Yoko Ono is on vocals. Ironically, this is a cover of the 1963 Beatle's hit "Money (That's What I Want)."


This Virgin Atlantic Records promo 12 inch contains the 2:31 version. Two different mixes of this song exist on 12 inch, but the covers are identical. The longer version (6:13), which appears on the commercial release (DK 4809) adds some spacey sound effects during the break. I have both in my collection.

The Flying Lizards later put out a pretty good 12" single in the UK on Statik called "Sex Machine" which was a cover of the James Brown original.
