"Money Talks" rolled off The Razors Edge, AC/DC's 12th studio album, in 1990 as the record's second single, a Malcolm and Angus Young song that Bruce Fairbairn produced and Mike Fraser engineered and mixed. The brothers play the guitars, Brian Johnson sings, Cliff Williams holds down the bass and Chris Slade drums, and it struts with a big, crowd-baiting grin.

It became one of the band's biggest hits and their highest-charting single in the US, cracking the Top 40 there as well as in Britain and Australia, and it picked up a Grammy nomination for Best Hard Rock Performance. On the tour that followed, thousands of "Angus Bucks" fluttered down on the crowd during the song, and David Mallet's video caught it live. They haven't played it since that tour.
