Money Changes Everything
"Money Changes Everything" is a song written by Tom Gray, frontman of The Brains, and was the band's only underground hit. It was recorded by Cyndi Lauper for her debut album, ''She's So Unusual'' and was released as a single in 1984, peaking at #27 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100. The song is about how money interferes with personal relationships.
==The Brains recordings==
The original single was released in 1978 by the Brains as a 45 RPM single on Gray Matter Records. The B-side of the single was a song called "Quick with Your Lip". The initial underground success of the song led to The Brains being signed by Mercury Records. They rerecorded the song under the guidance of producer Steve Lillywhite for their 1980 debut album, ''The Brains''. Critic Greil Marcus, listing it at #10 of his Real-Life Rock Top Ten 1979, said, "Singer Tom Gray told his story in a strangled voice, as if he were trying to explain, but instead he laid a curse. This damned single ranks higher than I've placed it, but if it were anywhere else I couldn't end with it, and there's no other way the decade could end."〔Marcus, Greil, "Fear in the Marketplace: Real-Life Rock Top Ten 1979", ''New West'', January 11, 1980〕 Marcus would later write of the song, "It was hard, it hurt, and Cyndi Lauper's version makes the original sound compromised. She makes you wonder if Brains composer and singer Tom Gray even knew what he was talking about."〔Marcus, Greil, "Free Speech, #1", ''Artforum'', May 1984.〕
Gray, with his band Delta Moon, also recorded a version of the song for their album ''Clear Blue Flame''.
