[@dcent3]

Im a long time die hard pink floyd fan and I find it hard to love a lot of cover versions. These guys brought so much original floyd flavour, restrained themselves and kept it all close to the originals but still brought their own character. Its a great homage to Pink Floyd and a great display of talent. Lets get some more!

[@NicolePoliskey]

I absolutely adore Pink Floyd and this version is such a tribute while being original.......Stunning! This band never disappoints xx

[@MichaelColombo]

Does anyone else find it funny that the descending line in "Money" is the same that the Wiggles sang when they just covered Elephant?

[@BBRRiiAANN]

you mean that the descending line in Money is the same as the descending line in Elephant?.. The Wiggles did their little Fruit Salad mashup but they didn’t play the rest of the song any differently, that’s in the original song. Kevin Parker (Tame Impala) is definitely a fan of Floyd so i’m sure it was either a nod to them, or either a conscious/unconscious decision to have it in there.

[@lukecrummy8833]

Think tame Impala got sued by pink Floyd for the similarity. Heard Kevin and Jay mention it in an interview one time

[@fabiangunnarson4855]

@@lukecrummy8833 Do you have a source to back that up? I had not heard that there was a lawsuit involved.

[@lawesc7470]

They're very slightly different. The Pink Floyd one starts on the octave and descends down the minor scale with that flat 2 added in. The Tame Impala one starts from the seventh and descends hitting both a sharp 6and a flat 2. But I'm certain Kevin Parker was inspired by the descending line in Money. Definitely not suable tho imo. Neither of them invented an 8 bar descending scale.

My mum passed away from breast cancer 9 years ago, but before she passed a core memory of mine as a kid was when we would drive around the town, with all the windows down at 12 in the morning and absolutely blast Pink Floyd, especially Money, it was her favourite song along with Wish You Were Here.
