Money for Nothing (1978)

[@td64youtubechannel80]

love this music.

[@darktengu77]

As someone who grew up playing Dire Straits, and played the original on stage a few times, I am actually quite impressed by this interpretation. You earn a full Borat 'Its Very Nice'.

[@ilikemysugarwithcoffeeandcream]

wow why have I never registered how casually they are dropping that around like that before - also please make this hit less im tired boss

[@tubesocksbrigade3031]

Jamming to this in '77!!!

[@glenngummere4864]

It’s a 78 song though

[@Daniel-y9d2n]

I'd rather listen to these than anything coming out now.

[@jamesjackson6478]

I agree. YES

[@aaronmoore6275]

I didnt know Dire Straits covered this. Nice!

[@rodrigokbca]

I Think this is version is the cover...MTV is from 1981.

[@Panzer_Runner]

@@rodrigokbca I guess they don't have satire where you come from

[@sim71tad]

AI cover

[@shadowviruz]

About to gaslight my co worker that this is the original version of the song

[@VENZUL0]

How'd it go?

[@RaccoonCityPoliceDept]

MTV was only established in '81. Good luck with that.

[@shadowviruz]

[@schrodingersgat4344]

Is their name Aaron? I'm hoping that the comment below this is him.😂

[@Ukvideoclips]

Did it work? 😢

[@SuperDeadlen]

Loving the Hard Artist Channel. Great work Sir!

[@HardArtistVinyl]

@@SuperDeadlen Cheers!

[@chaptmc]

From an alternate universe where MTV came out in the 1970s and this song was written by another music artist. Most excellent!

[@JoshGellis]

Excellent fictional story. lol. Have a great life! lol.

[@ForgottenSpartan1]

Kick ass! Love to hear it with a singer

[@jmorris4719]

Love it!

[@NorthernChev]

Nailed it.

[@aaronmoore6275]

Feels like a funky love child of Stevie Wonder's 'Superstitious' played by Sly and The Family.

[@deanrane1961]

Listen heya, that's the way ya do it! Cool Af.

[@tubesocksbrigade3031]

Right on!!!!

[@TheBrooklynbodine]

Sock it TO me, baby!

[@ericwarncke]

Top shelf

[@GulliversCovers]

Oh my ... this is the Original! Wow!

[@BabylonPatrol]

The super hit that brought MTV to the attention of organized crime!

[@onvogmasaj]

waiting for *it*

[@KevinWatson-rs3vp]

Bad ass

[@chaptmc]

Is there a way to do a variant of this song using the style of Faulconer Studios with Mark Morgan's Guitar style, basically like the Funimation English Dragonball Z music. If you listen to the beginning of Money for Nothing by Dire Straights and hear it in such a format, it can be like a DBZ character powering up, which is where this lil potential idea came from.

[@geroldgrimel4811]

Success is owning a TV so big, you have to use a step ladder to turn the dial to 13.

[@Dfturcott]

Give me a certain style delorean that can hit 88 mph and I will have this blaring at studio 54 by this time yesterday

0:45 this image goes hard btw

[@pacomolinax]

Muito bom.

[@marksink1652]

Funny as hell, with the pics and faux album covers. Also kind of sad... an AI sadness hanging over it all.

[@illegitimatefilm]

0:38 Thanks for not fucking with history, unlike Knopfler, that Foggit.

[@nunyabizness3866]

I totally believe it, but what did he do to that song?

[@illegitimatefilm]

​@nunyabizness3866 Whenever he plays this song live, he doesn't say the word which I'm not allowed to spell correctly, which is Foggot.

[@babymammoth34]

@@illegitimatefilm I love the way this Funk singer here recites the foggot line and keeps repeating it with slick coolness. I laughed so hard my sides hurt.

[@schrodingersgat4344]

@@illegitimatefilm Agreed!

[@fictionsmith3688]

Money For Nothing 1950s next!

[@TheBrooklynbodine]

From the 1920s!

[@Aex3f4]

Replace the f word with the n word

[@onvogmasaj]

LFG

[@nasirhussain8172]

Sounds like AI for sho

[@jamesjackson6478]

I am beginning to like this more than the Dire Straits version.

[@arethamorgan6613]

So this was a cover? Oh my goodness! Sorry, but I like the cover way better. 😎

[@andrewgram3039]

Did microwave ovens exist in ‘78?

[@cristiancannata]

and Mtv didn't exist either, this is kind of weird

[@jamesjackson6478]

@@cristiancannata Yes microwaves did exist in 1978. They were made specialty for heating left-overs, not a full meal.

[@kaneduke581]

ya cant do that lol

[@TheGreat_Kramer1]

This is AI or something. Mark Knofler of Dire Straits is the writer of this song.

[@bsquared4604]

It's good except for the f word.

That's wat ur mum said about all ur school photos
