The Flying Lizards – Money (That’s What I Want) (1979)
Directed by: Jeff Willis
The Flying Lizards’ “Money (That’s What I Want)” is an avant-garde cover of Barrett Strong’s 1959 hit, released in July 1979. This experimental rendition, featuring Deborah Evans-Stickland’s deadpan vocals, became a Top Five hit in the UK and charted in North America. The accompanying music video, directed by Jeff Willis, complements the song’s unconventional style with minimalist and quirky visuals.
