"Money" - Easy Star All-Stars (Dub Side Of The Moon)
An old friend of mine sent this to me for my birthday. Dang, the lighter-flicking, bong-burbling, coughing intro to "Money" is just brilliant.
Maybe I should send a copy to Tommy Chong.

I absolutely love this whole CD - it's a classic reimagining and while obviously derivative, I like it better than the original, at least for now. We played it at our party this summer and people about lost their minds. They are also playing it live on tour staring very soon.

I reviewed it here, by the way.

Was this the version of Money that was featured on the soundtrack for the Italian Job?

I'm not sure because I havent' seen it and the soundtrack only includes the original score, but if it's reggae, it probably is.

Ah, I didn't catch the reggae part. In which case, no, it was someone else's cover on the IJ soundtrack.

"Money" from The Italian Job was done by Velvet Revolver....the 3/4 Guns & Roses + Weiland thing.
