'''Lovely Money''' was a single by [[The Damned]], originally released in 1982.
Their first release with new label [[Bronze Records|Bronze]], it showcased the band's willingness to experiment, being a seemingly-lightweight slice of [[Pop music|pop]] thanks to a [[disco]]-style electronic drum beat, which contrasted with a voiceover provided by former [[Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band]] frontman [[Viv Stanshall]] that criticised the [[nationalism]] that had arisen following the [[Falklands War]] in 1982. The "Disco Mix" was essentially the same track, with the backing sped up by the mischievous band.
[[Bronze Records|Bronze]] attempted to boost sales by issuing a picture disc version of the single as well, and also issued the single in [[France]], [[Germany]], the [[Netherlands]], [[Italy]], [[Australia]] and [[New Zealand]].
