About Money

"Money Money Money" was a Kevin Ayers single issued to promote his 1980 album, That's What You Get Babe. By this time fiscal realities were obviously shadowing the naiveté of his psychedelic youth as he ruefully notes; “You get moonlight in the evening / Sunshine by day / That's all you get for nothing / You want more?” The B-side is his 1971 single ‘Stranger in Blue Suede Shoes'.
