Edit for headphones. Dubbed video. The only decent version of this song - so with the least distortion - that I could find is on "No Stone Unturned + 7 bonus tracks" SKL5173. I tried to process it, but it is a difficult one to handle because of the bad recording quality. Hope you still like it.
Recorded on November 15, 1963, and released in the UK on the EP "The Rolling Stones" in January of 1964. Released in the US in 1972 on "More Hot Rocks". Yes, that's eight years later.
Harmonica: Brian Jones. Backing vocals: Brian Jones, Keith Richards and Bill Wyman. Lead vocals: Mick Jagger. Electric guitar: Keith Richards. Bass: Bill Wyman. Drums: Charlie Watts.
MONEY
(Berry Gordy/Janie Bradford) *
The best things in life are free
Look I'll give 'em to the birds and bees
I want money (that's what I want)
Yeah, that's what I want (oh yeah, that's what I want)
That's what I want, oh yeah (that's what I want)
That's what I want (oh yeah, that's what I want)
Money don't buy everything it's true
What it don't buy I can't use
I want money (that's what I want)
Oh come on baby (oh yeah, that's what I want)
That's what I want, whoa oh (that's what I want)
That's what I want (oh yeah, that's what I want)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
You love give me such a thrill
But you love won't pay my bills
I want money (that's what I want)
Yeah (oh yeah, that's what I want)
That's what I want, o yeah (that's what I want)
That's what I want (oh yeah, that's what I want)
Yeah give me money, yeah, yeah, yeah (that's what I want)
Lots of money, yeah, yeah, yeah (oh yeah, that's what I
want)
If you want me to love you (that's what I want)
Give me money (oh yeah, that's what I want)
If you want me to squeeze you (that's what I want)
Give me money (oh yeah, that's what I want)
That's what I want, oh yeah (that's what I want)
That's what I want (oh yeah, that's what I want)
Give me money
Come on baby
Lots of money
Yeah now
If you want me to love you
Give me money
If you want me to hold you
That's what I want
Come on baby
Give me what I want
