And, of course, the Beatles did a version of it, and also the Rolling Stones and the Hollies as well.
Phil TrollHOST
32:52
And also there was another version by the Flying Wizards, I think they were called, and they made a very silly mock version of it, really.
Phil TrollHOST

The Beatles had a big hit with it in 1964, and a band called the Flying Lizards had a minor hit with it in the U.S., and a major hit in the UK in 1979.

The original, though, was recorded in 1959 by Barrett Strong, Money.

I heard it through The Grapevine, War, Ball of Confusion, Just My Imagination and Papa Was a Rolling Stone are all Whitfield Strong songs, among many others.
Simon TeslerHOST
32:22
Money has been covered by other artists countless times since, most notably by The Beatles on their second album, With The Beatles, but also by the avant-garde producer and composer David Cunningham, under the name The Flying Lizards.
Simon TeslerHOST
32:37
That is definitely the cover version to end all cover versions.
Simon TeslerHOST
32:43
So first up, Barrett Strong's original from 1959, and then The Flying Lizards version from 1979.
