- Money for Nothing by Dire Straits
Brothers In Arms (1985)
Lyrics:
[Intro]
I want my...
I want my MTV
I want my...
I want my MTV
I want my...
I want my MTV
I want my...
I want my MTV
[Verse 1]
Now look at them yo-yos, that's the way you do it
You play the guitar on the MTV
That ain't workin', that's the way you do it
Money for nothin' and your chicks for free
Now that ain't workin', that's the way you do it
Lemme tell ya, them guys ain't dumb
Maybe get a blister on your little finger
Maybe get a blister on your thumb
[Chorus]
We got to install microwave ovens
Custom kitchen deliveries
We got to move these refrigerators
We got to move these color TVs
[Verse 2]
See the little faggot with the earring and the makeup?
Yeah buddy, that's his own hair
That little faggot got his own jet airplane
That little faggot, he's a millionaire
[Chorus]
We got to install microwave ovens
Custom kitchen deliveries
We got to move these refrigerators
We got to move these color TVs
Hoover mover, uh
[Chorus]
Gotta install microwave ovens
Custom kitchen deliveries
He's gotta move these refrigerators
Got to move these color TVs
Looky here, look out
[Verse 3]
I shoulda learned to play the guitar
I shoulda learned to play them drums
Look at that mama, she got it stickin' in the camera
Man, we could have some
And he's up there, what's that? Hawaiian noises?
He's bangin' on the bongos like a chimpanzee
Oh, that ain't workin', that's the way you do it
Get your money for nothin', get your chicks for free
[Chorus]
We got to install microwave ovens
Custom kitchen deliveries
We got to move these refrigerators
We got to move these color TVs
[Verse 4]
Listen here
Now that ain't workin', that's the way you do it
You play the guitar on the MTV
That ain't workin'
That's the way you do it
Money for nothin', and your chicks for free
[Bridge]
Money for nothin', chicks for free
(Get your) Money for nothin', chicks for free
Money for nothin', chicks for free
Money for nothin', chicks for free
Money for nothin', chicks for free
Money for nothin', chicks for free
Ow, Money for nothin', yeah
And the chicks for free
What's that?
Get your money for nothin', chicks for free
Look at that, look at that
Get your money for nothin' (I want my, I want my)
Bozos
Chicks for free (I want my MTV)
Money for nothin' (I want my, I want my)
Chicks for free (I want my MTV)
(Get your) Money for nothin' (I want my, I want my)
Chicks for free (I want my MTV)
Ah, money for nothin' (I want my, I want my)
Chicks for free (I want my MTV)
Easy, easy money for nothin' (I want my, I want my)
Easy, easy, chicks for free (I want my MTV)
Easy, easy money for nothin' (I want my, I want my)
Chicks for free (I want my MTV)
That ain't workin'
[Outro]
Money for nothin', chicks for free
Money for nothin', chicks for free
Since I was 10 years old I knew that this would be one of the songs that would be part of the soundtrack of my life.
Are you by chance a gay millionaire with a private jet? Or do just feel the urge to install microwave ovens, move refrigerators and colored tvs?
Same
😎👍
@@TheMF3721 Did you see my ear ring and my make up? look at me, i'm a millionaire!
@@TheMF3721 haven't you seen my earing and my make up? look at me, i'm a millionaire! 🤣
Every time I listen to this masterpiece I get goosebumps. This is music!
That ain't workin, that's entertainin. These guys ain't workin . 😋
Dire Straits making the most diabolical guitar riff in history: 🔥🔥🔨🔥🔥
Layla
It can't be repeated. Broken Amp and mic placement will make this one off.
Money for nothing. I remember at age 5 in 1985 watching this on MTV videos. Who else remembers this lol😂. Times sure have changed. Music was great than now there's hardly any real great music.
Michael Dix ironically enough, back then in 1985, older people complained that there's hardly any real great music and they missed the 60s and 40s music
I was born in 82, I'm sure I heard this song during my young years plenty of times.
@@celinelia8127 At 1:38 Please skip to this part...
Should have been in the movie with Roddy Piper "They Live".
This song and David Bowie Starman. Add politicians and the Elite and you are no longer blind .
major respect for keeping in the 2nd verse
All time great rock song. Thank you for not censoring out "faggot" in this video. There are much worse and more offensive song lyrics out there!!!
Surpresa minha saber que essa gíria agora está censurada no TH-cam eu vou ter que comentar outra coisa para você
LGBT...
gomers44 it's not really offensive technically in this context, i think,bcs these artists are not using this word to offend anyone. They are quoting a person who tried to offend them. This entire song is just quoting bunch of heartles ignorant workers at an appliance store,claiming that
being a musician is easy and it's not a real work. These men called a famous musician this offensive term. The band is simply quoting the mean comments.
Yeah. In pretty much every rap song. But nobody says anything about that.
@@celinelia8127Yet someone will be offended anyway. It's the norm now.
You staying me to do what your doing to me is fucked up and your offended by a word
Thx for not censoring it lol, props to you buddy
I agree😎
I'm surprised they haven't canceled him yet
cancel what are you talking about this song was in the 80s you can say that word plus the guy thats singing was talking about when people calld him that kind of f word.

Still hitting hard in 2024.
real
:D
You spoke facts
Agreed
My downloaded copy of this song will NEVER be altered or censored. It's forever on my flash drive to he played through my cars radio.
i knew this was fire when i was 6. fire straight fire
for people curious, when he said a certain trigger word, he was saying in satire, making fun of a worker complaining about rock bands making "money for nothing"
Not even close. The blue collar worker is the hero in this story. It's funny that all it takes to turn people like you against the workers is for them to use a word you don't like. Christ you lot are so programmed.
No one is curious. We are not weirdos who think about " trigger words"
Im
Trigger this red flag that bury this level that
I think it should be left to speculation myself.
Child hood memories of the 80 s
One of the greatest songs ever written. I remember the 1st time I watched the video on MTV. Was around 8 years old
STILL LISTENING IN OCTOBER 2024
Forever and always 🔥
I'm with you
Same my dad showed me this song and I just can’t stop thinking about it
Yes sir!!!!!!
Listening since 1985!😊❤
who knew microwave ovens and refridgerators and mtv's would hit hard as a song
Yo this is a masterpiece
I just came back from a 2 week long work-study trip to Malta where I basically had to do work for a gardening company and I used to sing this all day long since I had to do 9-5, wasn't paid and had to move heavy shit while out in the sun all day long while other people in the group would just work for 2 hours at day making tiktoks in a cool fresh office with AC and would also get paid 500€ per week.
Also those dudes would bring chicks from their office back to the house we were staying, so yeah, money for nothing and chicks for free.
Ive never known the meaning of the lyrics but now knowing that this song is making fun of people who insult bands makes this really funny, especially the infamous verse
Always liked this song 😎🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️
2:51 lmao nowadays this wouldn't slide. love this song!
Love it this song. So good
I always liked this song!!
GO DIRE STRAITS YOU ROCK !
Great song very very funny song Great backup singing by sting of course But the song is so hilarious and funny Love it
The Nothing More song "Mr MTV" is actually the reason I am here now. I've heard parts of this song on the radio and realized that this song HAD to be the inspiration for Mr MTV.
Most epic guitar solo in the history of mankind....
Uau!!!! Amo esse clássico incrível!!! Curto mto !!! Parabéns ❣ 🇧🇷🤟💃🏽🕺🧡😍
MAGNIFICO...❤❤❤❤
Even with the questionable word in this song, I'll never get tired of it. Grew up on it. That guitar, those drums. And ultimately they were making fun of people who said these things about them. Because they were jealous and a bunch of haters!
legends
What word are you referring to, "faggot"
R.i.p tony begil my uncle he air played this in high school 80s
This hippie is doing more in 24 I was there when this sing broke out on mtv..peace and live from the hippie man ✌️ ❤️ ☮️ ✨️
Peace and love ✌️
1:36 Epicness over 9000
Excellent song money for nothing, from one of the best album Brothers in arms, Singing with Mark in the second voice, we have Sting from the police ... greath song
De las mejores canciones del mercado musical de Dire Straits ❤❤
Yeah bro intro is rocking
Yeah thanks for not changing the words or censorship.
Agree 100%
My favorite
Aqui no Brasil essa música fez muito sucesso.. estourada mas rádios.
Eu era criança e essa introdução me fazia pensar e encenar que eu era um zumbí ou lobisomem em transformação pronto para atacar.. era algo muito lúdico ..até hoje minha mente viaja.
Loving this in 2024❤
Kingsman ❤❤😊😊
Brilliant 🤩
This Joint is lit all day long and night time 2
One thing they should have done (I don't know when I first thought of this.) was have the drums do what you hear in a lot of rock songs, where, in the end, you hear it go from the usual kick/snare to mostly just snares, with occasional kicks. (I asked what it was in another (unrelated) video, and someone said about it being like a buildup.)
It would probably be from. 7:34 to 8:00, when you hear the fill, before Sting starts singing.
Love That song❤
You think they're singing about themselves moving refrigerators and microwave ovens do you think this is a true story if it is man that's fantastic
They had to make money to get them where they are.
My dad showed me the song now I love it
Anyone in 2024!!
i’m here lol
Ye
💀
We are!!!❤
Yeah 🤘🏼
Belíssimo
Dire é shouuuuuuuu ❤
🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼Always GREAT 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🤩
Really TH-cam!? Interrupt the song twice for commercials. TH-cam SUCKS NOW
That opening riff is orgasmic
My Best Forever 👍✊️💛💙✌️👻
The first time I saw them it was on MTV and the video moving refrigerators a microwave ovens
I first heard this song in 1978 I was only six yrs of age then it was my favorites band from then on till fucking now mark wolfler
I'll always remember this song from the opening scene of 'Kuffs'. For some reason, I thought it was a ZZTop song for years.
Nice
Classic song classic classic classic you get what I'm saying
second verse is my favorite part
Hey. I didn't understand that this song was censored in the US until decades later. In Europe 😊
nice🤓🤯🥳💯
❤
The drop makes me stand up 😂😂😂
Love this fucken song yeah boy
Immortals
The song is talented is it true the story
I just enjoyed the hell out of that song laying in bed with my gf and blunt in my hand ❤❤ God bless American Rock n Roll
LOL! Except they are not an American band, they're British!
I like the original lyrics.
Amen
They're off the chain lol.. singing about prince lol
I just love the intro on this song. That haunting chant, followed by that awesome drum, then the guitar joins the party. Didn't know about the "faggot" verse until recently-I can see where they would censor it. It seems to be SOP for stations to edit songs anymore, even ones that aren't objectionable. I hate this practice. Play the whole song or don't bother.
Nice to hear the full, original version. I doubt that George Michael was even offended by it.
I bet it was his jam... they don't listen to their own music
🔥
ITS MY BIRTHDAY IM 10 AND THIS SONG FIRE 13 SEPTEMBER❤
Hi
That guitar's riff hits harder than my dad
1:25 here it comes!
Al fin encontré la canción del "queso roñoso", no puedo creer que diga esto XD
2024 ❤
Song is about hating on rockstars, but they still want their MTV. 😏
BRO IN A VAN ON FULL VOLLUME BROOOO
I work in a kebab shop and sing along to it and your chips for free lol
They did in fact take the money. Offered nothing. And took the women. Then guitar riffed their way out.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Agosto 2024 present
That little F@%got that Dire Straits was singing about, was Prince!
You realize it’s a song about what people told them, right? :/
would you believe me if I told you Prince was extremely homophobic
because he did not like gays
This song sounds kind of like Gone Gone/Thank You by Tyler, The Creator.
What I used to say when my mom took my remote away
❤❤😊😊😊❤
The second verse:
Who does he think he is, the Pope?
I can't tell if you're offended or making a joke
@@Astute_million24 I was originally joking, and I'm not offended, but I can't believe the Pope (the one who decides wether we take the up or down elevator) would say something like that.
@@nbuehsterI believe Mark Knopfer is not the Pope.
Whatever happened to my MTV?...
Well if you look at the current state of music the majority of "artists" in the top charts can't even play a single instrument, sing without back ups... And most are straight up lip singing (cough cough Taylor swift) and Beyonce plays *a little paino*
Spot on! It seems to be a very limited talent pool.
I'm a youngster I can guarantee u that 90 percent of today's mainstream music sucks. I find it kinda weird that they singing of specific hair metal bands who still could atleast play their instruments.
3:35
Which listening from the future??
Being triggered in 2024….no such animal in 1985😂
Please music is good condition
That's gonna lost ya UHA MFRZ
