Click to listen to Penguin Prison's 'Don't Fuck With My Money'

Penguin Prison's new single, "Don't Fuck With My Money," updates the smooth, effortlessly funky sound of late Seventies disco classics by Chic and Michael Jackson with a sleek modern production style that recalls hits by Phoenix, Scissor Sisters and Hot Chip. The entire track is a groovy delight, but the soaring, falsetto-heavy climax is particularly excellent. Penguin Prison's debut album is in stores now, but you can download "Don't Fuck With My Money" for free here.

Song Stories

“Tonight's the Night”

The Shirelles | 1960

The lead cut and title track from this girl group's debut album, "Tonight's the Night" was written by 19-year-old bandmember Shirley Owens, who sings lead, and producer Luther Dixon. The band from Passaic, New Jersey met in high school, first calling themselves the Pequellos. The song's frank thoughts about sexual and emotional surrender was racy for the time, but that didn't stop the Chiffons from cutting a similar version immediately after the original came out. "We were the first female group to write some of our own material," band member Beverly Lee recalls. "We did have some say-so in our writing."
