NEONBABIES “BIG SPENDER” (1981)

popularized by Peggy Lee in 1966; written by Cy Coleman and Dorothy Fields for the musical Sweet Charity

cover version available on Neonbabies (Good Noise, 1981)

A lesser known gem from the NDW (Neue Deutsche Welle) era in Germany. Neonbabies released 3 records in the early 1980s, and have since disappeared into the ether. Also featured on their debut is an excellent cover of the Rolling Stones’ “Jumping Jack Flash”.
