You're the Guy I Want To Share My Money With is a double album released in 1981. The album is a collaboration by Laurie Anderson, John Giorno and William S. Burroughs, recorded during their "Red Night" spoken word tour of 1981. Released through Giorno Poetry Systems Institute, the album was funded in part by grants from the National Endowment for the Arts and the New York State Council on the Arts. Side 4 of this double album is a multi-grooved record. Depending on where the needle lands on the record, one of the following will play:
- Laurie Anderson: For Electronic Dogs/Structuralist Filmmaking/Drums
- William S. Burroughs: My Name Is Clem Snide/Mr. Hart Couldn't Hear the Word Death
- John Giorno: excerpt from Put Your Ear to Stone & Open Your Heart to the Sky.
Most of Anderson's material came from her performance piece, United States, and live versions of some tracks, such as "It Was Up in the Mountains", would also be included in her later 5-LP release, United States Live. This was Anderson's first substantial album release (previously she had only contributed a track or two), and she followed this in 1982 with her first full solo album, Big Science.

“The sacred obligation to the Union soldiers must not—will not be forgotten nor neglected.... But those who fought against the Nation cannot and do not look to it for relief.... Confederate soldiers and their descendants are to share with us and our descendants the destiny of America. Whatever, therefore, we their fellow citizens can do to remove burdens from their shoulders and to brighten their lives is surely in the pathway of humanity and patriotism.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“If I were a Brazilian without land or money or the means to feed my children, I would be burning the rain forest too.”
