Tonio Armani Performs "Money (That's What I Want)" Live | Still Lounge Hotney 5 Streams • 3 months ago

Ernie Barnes’ Sugar Shack, one of the most iconic paintings in pop culture, has lived many lives. From the end credits of ‘Good Times’, and Marvin Gaye’s “I Want You” cover art, to inspiring the poster for the 2025 Academy Award–nominated film ‘Sinners.’

Rooted in the cultural legacy of this 1976 masterpiece and the renewed love for 1960s in-house band studio sessions, we introduce the Still Lounge: an intimate space where artists deliver soulful performances under the musical direction of Anderson .Paak and the direction of Fatima Robinson, recorded live at the historic Henson Studios in Los Angeles.

We bring you Columbus, Georgia’s own Tonio Armani, with a voice that’s lived-in, not manufactured. He steps into the Still Lounge to deliver his rendition of Barrett Strong’s “Money (That’s What I Want).”

Lyrics:
I grew up pretending sticks were little guns
I would point ‘em at my dad and he’d get mad 'cause God forbid I hurt someone
I’d hurt anyone I could
Anyone who got too close and anyone who wouldn’t look
I was born into a one-hundred-year storm
Foot of ice across Vermont, and in that dark, and in that frost a heart was formed
Malcontented and unwarm
You were unsuspecting, not unwarned

That I’m the trouble ahead
That I scream in my sleep
You’re putting money on red, I’m a sure bet at a losing streak
I keep showing you doors, but you can’t open them up
Cuz it gets harder to see me the closer you try to look
I just live here babe, but you’re the one who decided to knock
You knocked

Have you ever stared directly at the sun?
Have you ever shared some closeness, so exposed, to have it spit back by someone
So forgive me if I jump
At the rattle of your keys, oh are you leaving, no babe I’m just waking up
And now what
I’m left staring at the ceiling, listing reasons you should pack all your shit up

That I’m the trouble ahead
That I scream in my sleep
You’re putting money on red, I’m a sure bet at a losing streak
I keep showing you doors, but you can’t open them up
Cuz it gets harder to see me the closer you try to look
I just live here babe, but you’re the one who decided to knock
You knocked

I’ll be gone so long before the anger comes
I’ll be only what you’ve known of me ‘til now
Oh how I hope you’re moving on

'Cause I’m the trouble ahead
And I scream in my sleep
You’re putting money on red, I’m a sure bet at a losing streak
I keep showing you doors, but you can’t open them up
Cuz it gets harder to see me the closer you try to look
I just live here babe, but you’re the one
I just live here babe, but you’re the one
I just live here babe, but you’re the one

Lyrics

I know that the bar closes at 11
I hope you never finish that beer
You know all the words to “Just Like Heaven”
And I know why he wrote them
Now that you’re standing right here

Ohh
One night I was bored in bed
And stalked you on the internet
It’s feminine intuition
‘Cuz I always had a vision of us standing like this
All pressed up in the bathroom line
You’re looking like an angel on the walls of Versailles
The most alive I’ve ever been
But kiss me and I might drop dead

And I feel like I might throw up
Left hook, right punch to the gut
You’re so so pretty boy
I’m paranoid I made you up
Yeah I’d love it if you walked me home
If you promised we could go real slow
‘Cuz I got chewing gum
And a bunch of stuff I’d like to know
Like, have you ever been to Japan?
Or taken that Eurostar to France?
I’ve been dropping hints all night
That I’d love it if you held my hand, goddamn
And then maybe we could make-makeout
Clothes off and fall to the ground
Let’s go steady
Let’s go out
And tell the whole damn world how

One night I was bored in bed
And stalked you on the internet
It’s feminine intuition
‘Cuz I always had a vision of us standing like this
All pressed up in the bathroom line
You’re looking like an angel on the walls of Versailles
The most alive I’ve ever been
But kiss me and I might

Pisces and a Gemini
But I think we might go really nice together
If you let me stay the night
Well I think I might just have to stay forever

Pisces and a Gemini
But I think we might go really nice together
If you let me stay the night
Well I think I might just have to stay forever

Ohh
One night I was bored in bed
And stalked you on the internet
It’s feminine intuition
‘Cuz I always had a vision of us standing like this
All pressed up in the bathroom line
You’re looking like an angel on the walls of Versailles
The most alive I’ve ever been
But kiss me and I might
Kiss me and I might
Kiss me and I might drop dead
