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.
