Dirty Cash (Money Talks)

"Dirty Cash (Money Talks)" is a song by British dance music act the Adventures of Stevie V. It was first released in December 1989 on the Mercury record label, then again in 1990.

The song features vocals by Melody Washington,[2] a music teacher from Georgia living in the United Kingdom and teaching for the US Air Force, who met Stevie V. while she was playing in a local club near his home.

"[7] Bill Coleman from Billboard described it as a "seductive house track with an underground sensibility sports a tasty vocal hook and top of the chart potential.

"[10] Dave Sholin from the Gavin Report remarked that the British-based writer/producer had spent six weeks Top Ten in the UK with the track, "selling a quarter million copies in the process—no easy task in that market."

"[12] A reviewer from The Network Forty felt the track is "almost a mood piece", and said that it "has a soulful vocal approach backed by a Euro-dance production somewhat reminiscent of the Pet Shop Boys.

A bump and grind bass and Adamski-like fiddly bit drives this heavy rap and hookline scudding along.

"Dirtee Cash", a song recorded by the grime artist Dizzee Rascal, based on "Dirty Cash", was released as the fourth single from Dizzee Rascal's fourth studio album, Tongue N' Cheek in September 2009 and peaked at number ten on the UK Singles Chart.
