Mark Knopfler wrote Money for Nothing after overhearing delivery men in a New York department store complain about their jobs while watching MTV, he uses actual quotes.
Mark was an amazing lyricist. And guitarist, as well. He stapled Dire Straits. Not only that, but had Sting on this banger, and just made him sing backups. XD what a guy.
The stank face you made when you first heard the guitar riff kick in....that’s the same face we made when we heard it back in the day. I had this album (on wax).
Nothing unites people like classic rock. I'm so glad we have this platform, so people... young and older people, can discover the miracle of CLASSIC ROCK AND ROLL.
For those not in the know, the background vocals and "I want my MTV" was performed by Sting. They (Knoffler and crew, not sting) came up with the idea for the song while in a department store, watching guys moving a bunch of stuff around and saying they should have been rock stars on MTV instead of busting their humps. 😆 P.S. That guitar on the cover with the metal sound plate is called a "Dobro" and was used by many delta blues guitarists. This album and the guitar work of Mark Knoffler changed the direction of rock in the 80s, permanently.
Sting wasn’t in the department store with Mark. He happened to be around where they were recording so Mark invited him to record the intro. Sting didn’t write any of the song.
@@rob-c. I wasn't clear and if it sounded like I said Sting was in the store, sorry. "They" being the dire straights guys. I never claimed sting was involved with the song, just that he sang the background, "I want my" stuff. And yup, they were in neighboring studios and Mark said "Hey, man... Wanna work on this with us?" 😉
You should look at the origin of this song. It’s funny as hell. Mark Knopfler, the lead singer was at Montgomery Wards department store and overheard 2 workers talking and this was their conversation as they were watching a Boy George music video on the TV’s lol.
I heard it was his boss from when he worked at a pawn shop when he was young. The boss was nuts and so he just wrote down the crazy things he would say.
A better part of the song was what the lead singer over heard in a department store. A couple of employees sitting around talking trash about mtv while watching a wall of TVs. (Back in the day).
@@Dangerous_Brian Fun maybe, but fact? No. Sting is credited on the song writing because “I want my MTV” is sung to the tune of The Police track “Don’t stand so close to me”. Sting didn’t write any of Money for Nothing.
My dad used to play this song when we would drive from the netherlands to spain to visit my grandparents almost 2500 km and nothing but dire straights , QUEEN and julio iglesias 😂... this song is a really fond memory of the many times we drove there he never changed the music and i never cared i love this song because of it
My father would occasionally allow us in his HiFi room. Hearing this on his NAIM audio HiFi from vinyl in the 80's was life changing. Telegraph Road, Private Investigations. Life altering.
As a kid who grew up with this music in the modern day, I’m always looking for better ways to listen to these songs. What’s a HiFi room like? Or how does it work?
@schawangus1996 Well, it was a room in our house that he dedicated solely to his HiFi equipment and record collection. He collected records and assembled his HiFi from NAIM Audio and Linn Audio. When I was in my teens we built an addition to the house that was purpose-built for the equipment and had a separate electricity supply from the main house and acoustic features. It was a great set up for an enthusiast like him. I miss sitting and listening. The world was lost for a while.
@@schawangus I think the most important thing is that the room is arranged such that you can position a pair of proper stereo speakers against one wall, and a listening position in front of them forming a rough equilateral triangle. It doesn't need to be a dedicated room other than that.
@@deadprivacyI’m 36, and I’ve never heard this song in its entirety until now. I think everyone’s heard clips or pieces, but it’s not out of the realm of possibility for someone to be unfamiliar with the whole thing.
Mate.. I'm a 52 year old white guy.. respect mate.. seriously.. I watch a lot of react videos.. they are mostly American.. this is gold 🥇.. stay safe pal 🙏🔥
The video was groundbreaking. That’s Sting singing “ I Want My MTV” and doing the upper harmony. Mark Knopfler- one of the greatest guitarists and songwriters ever. Keep rapping to the classics!
Hate to admit this, but I had missed Sting singing all the “I want my, I want my’s”. I can’t believe I didn’t notice it before. Once I heard it, can’t unhear it.
@@xakuma176 Let's re-word my post to be "purely accurate" (since I had the gall to say "ever"). Fun history fact: "Brothers in Arms" was one of the first albums directed at the CD market, and it was a full digital recording (DDD) at a time when most popular music was recorded on analog equipment. (There, that's better, huh?)🤣😂
Bruv fair play with the freestyle 👏 I'm a old skool drum and bass head but I'm also a massive fan of what I call proper music, if I could only listen to 1 band or group for the rest of my life it would be dire straits simply for the magical sounds coming from the strings of Mark knopfler's guitar. I like to see people from different musical backgrounds finding the beauty in music made before electronic synthesisers. Keep it up g.
That intro and that build up to the drum solo and then guitar solo is my favourite of all time, you need to listen to it on full volume with some good headphones.
The story goes that Mark Knofler was looking to duplicate the grinding guitar rift sound and contacted Dusty Hill of ZZ Top to learn how to play this sound. Shout out to Sting of the Police for the haunting background lyrics.
Can’t go wrong with Dire Straits. Any of them. All of them. So smooth. If you want to hear something really seductive from them, try “Follow Me Home” or “Where Do You Think You’re Going”
I will literally watch any and every Dire Straits reaction video. Les Boys? Bring it, MFers. Money For Nothing is the obvious choice for a reaction video as the iconic Dire Straits song from the mid 80s, but I would always take Brothers in Arms over this.
K, I really enjoy your reactions to previous Rock music, and I am a huge Rock fan, Thank you for reacting to music I love and still have on my playlist. PLEASE react to "SULTANS OF SWING" (Alchemy Live), the guitar solo is what I want you to enjoy, (and you will). Dire Straits has been with me since the late 70's, I am 70 years old, I have subscribed today, look forward to watching you soon!💯☮
Another brilliant reaction man. If you want to see the best example of how to play a dead clean Strat check out Dire Straights - Sultans of Swing - Live Alchemy Tour😉
Luv watching you bro, 👍you take me back, I had a buddy called Gemal who you remind me of..😍 1973, he introduced me to Motown, I introduced him to Pink Floyd...we where 13...🤣🤣🤣
I have to say. Money for nothing can be a really good instrumental for rap songs. I was afraid you were just going to react but instead you also drop some sick bars in it! Cool 😎 curious about other classics will listen too.
It was 1998! My twin brother and I were 9 years old, in the backseat of our Mums' car! She played this song, and the intro blew us away!! Such an awesome song!!
Fun facts: Sting actually did the vocals for the "I want my MTV" & other parts of the song & it perfectly balances with Knopfler's deep vocals. Also, Sting slightly modified the chorus from his own song "Don't Stand So Close To Me" for this, if you listen to the "I want my MTV" alongside "Don't stand so close to me", it's immediately obvious. Such an awesome, classic collaboration & I love that crunchy guitar.
Your fresh and sincere responses are so precious. We loved these tunes since we were kids. This is about how we listened to it our first times, decades ago.
You don’t know how cool it feels to watch these videos man! Especially when your a young man from North Carolina and you already know all these bangers 🔥
This was great! I love seeing you express what we are all feeling listening to this song. It's awesome. I enjoyed this one very much. I have liked this song since I was a little girl back in the 80's. It really is. Great tune 👍 and that intro is the bomb.
Nathan Brown Music I love your reactions. Glad I found you! Mark Knopfler was born left handed and taught himself how to play right handed without a pick. These guy's rock still to this day!
In as much as I love the guitar intro, it's not until the drums and bass enter the fold and particularly those long simple bass notes that really lock the groove down.
That's such a cool idea to freestyle over the beat from the song you're reaction to in the video haha, I'm surprised noone else has thought of that. Earned a sub for the sheer creativity
In 1984 I was 10. I become determined to master the learning of English while listening to this song mostly because of the video and the fact that i didn’t understand a thing at all. I OWE my life to this song!
Can you imagine listening to this for the first time today? I'd be like, "what the hell am I doing with my short life listening to the stuff they put out nowadays?!"
@@jyesucevitz By my nan. She overlooked him so hard I can still feel the pain to this day, like shock lightning though my soul driven up through the spine to crown the glory of a new born conscious realisation. I still can't forgive her, it haunts me.
I’m not of rapper lover but I really dig what you did with this fine tune from Dire Straits 😎🎸I subscribed and would like to hear more of what you got..😎👍
You need to do reaction to the music video for money for nothing for me it’s the greatest music video of all time. Also the first ever music video played on mtv Europe back in 1985 and was first computerised music video ever. Definitely one of most iconic guitar riffs of all time and if not the most iconic guitar riff of the 80s
Sorry for the WICKED late comment, but I 100% LOVE your reaction and comments to Dire Straights "I want my MTV" and to "White winged dove" by Stevie Nicks!!!!! Much love from Boston - Out, LP
this is the music we used to listen in the disco back when discoteques were a thing. 50m by 50m hall, 1 or 2 tables max were u could rest your drinks , maybe 10-15 chairs ,and rest is full dancefloor. in my town there was a cinema were u could see 2 movies each day from 4pm to 8pm and discoteque was opening the doors at 8:30 pm , by 9pm everyone was in tickets sold. up to 4-5AM nonstop music. Hot summer nights coming home at 5am the morning was almost as hot as the day, smell of wet tarmac from the slight rain, slight hangover from the booze. it was magic . everything was magic. made you wish you'd live forever. now everything is clubs were 80% of people sit down and dive into the phone, sharing stuff with people across the table. everyone is living virtual. nothing is real. need a time machine asap.

Sting and Mark Knopfler amazing.
That's how you know music is from the Divine...it brings us together, all ages, races, rich, poor...music don't care...it unites us all. ❤❤❤
Thanks for playing the uncensored version of this song.

Bro he's feeling this song the exact way it should be felt
Still gives me chills on the intro
No doubt
yep just got them
I'm old enough to remember this being on MTV as it was new
I was like 2 when it came out, and this music video rocked is one of my earliest memories. The 3d animation blew My pecker off
It was a good time to be Alive. Skating rinks, tall hairspray hair on the ladies, and respect.
Same. My favorite video too because it was basically a cartoon the whole way through.
Yes. When MTV was about the music and bands made great videos.
Try Sultan of Swing!!
Your face when that riff first goes off is the exact face one should make when they hear that riff the first time.
You should look at the origin of this song. It’s funny as hell. Mark Knopfler, the lead singer was at Montgomery Wards department store and overheard 2 workers talking and this was their conversation as they were watching a Boy George music video on the TV’s lol.

I never clocked that was Sting
Yeah that guitar bit IS very ZZ Top!!!👍👍.....
All the background was Sting? I thought it was just “I want my”. Makes sense.
When my wife said my unborn child could hear I put headphones on her stomach and played this song. Such a awesome awesome song

Listen to the Deep Dish remixes
FYI, That particular song was the 2nd song played on Mtv when it launched back in 1980. I was there.

Hot summer nights coming home at 5am the morning was almost as hot as the day, smell of wet tarmac from the slight rain, slight hangover from the booze. it was magic . everything was magic. made you wish you'd live forever. now everything is clubs were 80% of people sit down and dive into the phone, sharing stuff with people across the table. everyone is living virtual. nothing is real. need a time machine asap.
