As heard on Classic Albums: Pink Floyd – The Making of The Dark Side of the Moon, the demo is in the key of G-sharp minor, as opposed to the B minor of the final version. As recorded by the band, the song has a "bluesy, transatlantic feel", unlike Waters' original demo version, which he later described as "prissy and very English".
The demo tracks for the song, including some of the sound effects, were recorded in a makeshift recording studio Roger Waters had in his garden shed. Displayed at the Pink Floyd: Their Mortal Remains exhibition. Made by Nick Mason in 1972 and retained by his then-wife Lindy Mason. String of coins (one-third of original length), including pre-decimal 1d and 3d denominations, used for the sound effects on Money. I very much wanted all that material stuff." Recording The only way to get something like that was through rock or the football pools. I remember coveting a Bentley like crazy. "I remember thinking, 'Well, this is it and I have to decide whether I'm really a socialist or not.' I'm still keen on a general welfare society, but I became a capitalist. "Money interested me enormously," Waters remarked on the twentieth anniversary of Dark Side.
The poem is a verse of lyrics to "Money". The teacher snatches the poem book from him and reads it in a very sarcastic, demeaning manner, practically encouraging Pink's classmates to laugh. The lyrics are briefly referenced in the film Pink Floyd – The Wall, when the protagonist, Pink, is caught writing poems in class by his teacher. Two twelve-bar verses are followed by a twenty-bar instrumental section that features a blues-style tenor saxophone solo (played by Dick Parry) along with keyboard, bass and drums and a further two-bar intro in 4Ĥ leading to the guitar solo, which is structured like a twelve-bar blues, but doubled to a twenty-four-bar length. The form and chord progression are based on the standard twelve-bar blues in the key of B minor, with the vocal melody and nearly all of Gilmour's soloing based on the pentatonic and blues scales.
Then, for the third chorus, the dynamics would suddenly rise, with heavy use of reverb and echo (a "wet" sound), additional rhythm-guitar parts in the background, and the drums becoming heavy and almost chaotic. For this "dry" chorus, all musicians played softly and subtly, with Gilmour's solo, now one single guitar, playing very sparsely. One of Gilmour's ideas for the solo section was that, for the second chorus of the solo, all reverb and echo effects would be completely off (referred to as "dry"), creating the sense of just four musicians playing in a small room. The doubled effect for the third chorus was created using automatic (or "artificial") double-tracking (ADT). Gilmour played the chorus nearly identically in two passes recorded to two different tracks of a multi-track tape machine. The first of three choruses which comprise the solo was recorded using real-time double tracking. Although Roger Waters and David Gilmour have made recent comments stating that the song had been composed primarily in 7Ĩ time, Rick Wright stated in a 2000 US radio interview that "Money" was composed in 7Ĥ, as stated by Gilmour in an interview with Guitar World magazine in 1993. Sometimes the filmmakers get it right across the board.ġ."Money" has been described as a progressive rock, blues rock, and hard rock song. Not only does it keep with the playful tone of the remake, but it definitely fits with the characters and their different attitudes. The simple fact that the song is titled Money and the Italian Job is about a robbery is enough to make the distinction that this was an accurate and masterful pick. And through it all the song is just cascading through the car like a calming wave, chilling everyone out, even the dog.ĭon’t say it, this should be an obvious sell. Seriously, he seems so childishly ignorant of the ramifications of what he’s doing that you half expect him to pull a bag of Funyuns while trying to steer with his knees.

Does anyone else think Zach Galifinakis just looks flat crazy most of the time? In this scene as he’s trying to get a good “clam bake” going by locking the windows of a moving vehicle, Pink Floyd’s song Hey You is providing a rather chill if somewhat sinister yet silly mood.
