"No Tengo Dinero" is a song by the Italian Italo disco duo Righeira from their 1983 debut album Righeira. It was written by Michael Righeira, the duo's backing vocalist and producers Carmelo La Bionda and Michelangelo La Bionda.[1] While not as successful as their earlier single, "Vamos a la playa", the song nonetheless achieved high popularity, hitting 12th place in Germany.[2] Much like their previous single, the song is written in Spanish because it was considered an unusual combination with electronic pop music,[3] and celebrating in spite of hardship (in this case poverty, as opposed to nuclear war).

Music video

Directed by Pierluigi De Mas, the music video for "No Tengo Dinero" was shot in Italy in 1984.[4] The music video was animated, something that was considered rather unusual at the time.[5] As a result, the video consisted of separate storyboard clips, edited together, featuring Righi and Rota as animated versions of themselves.
