Watch a Band Perform the Sound Effects from Pink Floyd’s “Money,” Using a Money Counter, Torn Sheets of Paper & More

When Pink Floyd record­ed “Mon­ey” in 1972, Roger Waters spliced into the open­ing moments the sounds of cash reg­is­ters, tear­ing paper, and jin­gling coins. Half a cen­tu­ry lat­er, the Ger­man drum­mer Sina Doer­ing and her band per­formed those sounds live, using a bowl of loose change, a toy reg­is­ter, a mon­ey counter, and a sheet of paper torn on the beat. And they did it all live at Abbey Road Stu­dios, the same place where Pink Floyd record­ed Dark Side of the Moon (on which “Mon­ey” appears). Watch it above, and enjoy.
