"All the Money's Gone" is a song by Babylon Zoo and the first single to be taken from their second album King Kong Groover. It was written and produced by Jas Mann, and peaked at #46 on the UK Singles Chart in February 1999.[2] An animated music video was made to accompany the single.

Reception

The Sunday Mercury read: "Mann is having an identity crisis... he can't decide if he's [David] Bowie, Marc Bolan or Gary Glitter – but glam-rock, this disappointing record ain't".[3] Ewan MacLeod of the Sunday Mail enjoyed the single's accompanying music video, but felt it "a shame the song sounds like a rip-off of Seventies glam group T-Rex".[4] In NME, Steven Wells wrote that the "very Bowie-esque" track "sucks" on an unrivalled level.[5] Anna Carey of the Sunday Tribune called it "hideous".[6]

In a retrospective article for AllMusic, critic Dave Thompson likened the song to "an unholy collision between Oasis and Barry Blue's 'Dancing on a Saturday Night'."[7]
