Dire Straits - Money for Nothing | Lyrics

[@elver2294]

Every time I listen to this masterpiece I get goosebumps. This is music!

[@tracykingston9668]

That ain't workin, that's entertainin. These guys ain't workin . 😋

[@troop-r]

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.

[@TheMF3721]

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?

Yep buddy I feel the same exact way😊

[@ShashiSharma-ur1yz]

Listening since 1985!😊❤

[@Aries61]

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!!!

[@MARACUTAIA239]

Surpresa minha saber que essa gíria agora está censurada no KZbin eu vou ter que comentar outra coisa para você LGBT...

[@celinelia8127]

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.

[@ryders_mom]

Yeah. In pretty much every rap song. But nobody says anything about that.

[@ryders_mom]

​@@celinelia8127Yet someone will be offended anyway. It's the norm now.

[@Ralph-f6q]

You staying me to do what your doing to me is fucked up and your offended by a word

[@MSX98FMDnB]

major respect for keeping in the 2nd verse

[@michaeldix3329]

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.

[@celinelia8127]

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

[@Akira2805]

I was born in 82, I'm sure I heard this song during my young years plenty of times.

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 .

[@Tenetmedia2.0]

One of the greatest songs ever written. I remember the 1st time I watched the video on MTV. Was around 8 years old

[@veronicafranca7271]

Uau!!!! Amo esse clássico incrível!!! Curto mto !!! Parabéns ❣ 🇧🇷🤟💃🏽🕺🧡😍

[@chrisklema9992]

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.

[@lornavaldez454]

[@Ammi553]

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.

[@FlavioBellini-j6q]

MAGNIFICO...❤❤❤❤

This Joint is lit all day long and night time 2

[@kieramcclure1440]

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!

[@chrisgold151]

[@scorpio5493]

What word are you referring to, "faggot"

[@glynnnelson2588]

Most epic guitar solo in the history of mankind....

[@donheady3851]

I think it might be second to the end of sultans of swing. If you disagree, you should give it a relisten. It's doesn't give u the stank face like this one does, what it does is reaches in your body plucks your soul from it shreds it, puts it back together and places it back somehow slightly better than it was before.

[@FlareTheFolf]

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"

[@martialarborist7918]

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.

[@michaela6147]

No one is curious. We are not weirdos who think about " trigger words"

Yeah thanks for not changing the words or censorship.

[@Aries61]

Agree 100%

[@pessoautista]

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.

[@SaraRileyLMT-oi4bk]

MTV has been a great success since it launched 😂

[@nbuehster]

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.

[@gealong2101]

Absolutely

[@LouAnnDeMartino-vu4kl]

The first time I saw them it was on MTV and the video moving refrigerators a microwave ovens

@@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.
