Money for Nothing-Dire Straits Lyrics

[@fartass9849]

I’m 31, but my best friend was a bit older than me. This was her favorite song, many nights we spent drinking together pretending time didn’t exist. Id give anything for one more night in summer 2009.

By them you mean youtubers who post this music/lyrics video?

[@Herbie1199]

Interesting video on how Mark Knopfler got the idea for the lyrics (quite funny BTW) and how the creation of the guitar sound was purely accidental kzbin.info/www/bejne/d3mtm2Vrhad8nsksi=e0Q60GlxC3f8ltmd

[@frasergray20]

in my opinion the opening solo is the greatest solo ever

[@Otherrandomguy42]

Best guitar riff in history for a song about microwave ovens. 😂😂

[@sicariusperemo3789]

Well, you're of course, entitled to your opinion, but that is quite a stretch 😋

[@chemicalspore]

I have this album on Vinyl from 1988. Still sounds great

[@ruthok1]

Wow 🤩

[@GARYKLAFTA-y5m]

COOL BUT I HOPE THERE ARE NO SCRATCHES ON IT . THAT WOULD BE A TOTAL TRAGIC BUMMER - GREAT ALBUM !

Great classic of the 80s. Sounds as good now as back in the day.

I just heard it on the radio in the car I was like what. Wait till the cancel culture here's that

[@lehibounormand5197]

The original version is perfect, the censored version is too short, they cut 3/4 of this incredible guitar solo.

[@AHumanClay]

I've never paid attetion to the lyrics before, unless I started listenning and paying attention to the lyrics now. Excellent!

[@carlcr4425]

what are they about?

[@chris_note]

@@carlcr4425 It's about two retail workers regretting their decisions and wishing to be rockstar on MTV, and the lead comments on the singers at parts of the song, while they complain about their jobs. It was actually based on a conversation one of the band members heard over 2 people.

[@Goon_Lagoon69420]

@@chris_notedope, but what did the “f*ggot” had to do with the lyrics? Just asking.

[@chris_note]

@oranggjooice8983 It was probably just a remark for how they felt about the guys getting paid to do what they like.

[@1.618-g9z]

the lyrics have the word "f ggot" in them. I had written this previously, and YT warned me that my comment was bullying and harassment, and deleted it. I guess it's all about that letter "a". So I can grow up with a mom who got in a lesbian relationship, and I got in fights, over and over, at times against multiple farm-boys, one time I was knocked unconscious and lost my front teeth... I loved her regardless of who she wanted to be in a relationship with... I stood up for a person's right to be in a homosexual relationship if they want to, and I did so at a time when it was NOT popular to do so... I, a straight person, stood up against an entire town of prejudicial people that felt the need to hurt people that were not straight, and I did so at the cost of actual physical harm, and at the cost being accepted by my peers, at a time when that acceptance is important... I can live my life as described, and someone who works at KZbin can JUDGE ME as someone that bullies and harrasses, THAT is what they call standing up for someone? You virtue-signalers are all poseurs. The lyrics are making fun of a meat-headed worker in a department store, who uses those words when speaking, ESPECIALLY when it hurts someone to hear it. KZbin sucks

[@hannamaniacrailproductions5082]

Mark does such a good job with guitar solo's I love these songs!

[@night_crawler16-gg9xl]

Sultans o f swings, money or nothing and walk of life, these three songs of dire strait will be forever in my heart, as i remember my father usually tuning in in our local fm radio in my province in the Philippines every 4-6pm there is program of rocks song, and if this song was played he always shout at me and says turn it up the stereo and we both rock on! Thats nostalgia to me, i miss my father much now were separated i have my own family now, my mother and father they live together in our old home, we visits them every 3months, i hope they will live more longer!😢😢

[@caraliny]

Guitar is classic, but also have to give credit to the drums- Amazing!!

[@Cursed_Helmet]

That intro guitar riff is kicking asss

[@jtrobbins67]

Solo on Sultans of swing is better!

[@alandanger6285]

You rock dude. Thanks for the uncensored version, unlike other sissies who pussed out.

[@Otherrandomguy42]

Not sure how today's snowflakes that get offended over EVERYTHING would have survived the 70s and 80s.

[@ann-catherinemorner7499]

I was in my 50s before I realised that this song was censured in the US... Oh dear.

[@iwannabeadored69420]

you guys are literally the people Knopfler's singing about in their point of view those "mover" guys wish they were the rockstars that they were calling f-slurs

[@SelinaCarrales]

Love this song it takes me back to some good times. We turned on MTV as soon as we got home from school.

[@jcubbies1903]

Always loved the guitar Intro

[@roxieloot]

Amazing song. How times have changed and not for the better.

[@valerietrujillo4469]

And how much do you think dire straits get for all this?? Remember it was Prince George Michael Elton John who fought record labels no one has challenged MTV. That I know of. How many of us actually watch MTV or VH1. There is no music artists talent it's garbage

[@rosecorrea4335]

Imprecionante como essa música e esse solo de guitarra balança o corpo da gente pessoal 😂😂 só saudades 😊

[@UnwrittenSpade]

Todays PC culture sucks! I grew up, as I’m sure you did too, learning words have no power! My close friend in the military is gay and we def used the word fag but it wasn’t from a place of hate he never cared. We still talk and I asked him about it like did that bother you back then he was like hell no I ain’t some sissy. Hahaha

Wow, today I'm a week away from 38 years old and I finally learnt that this song is actually a conversation of an appliance store worker. The lyrics always confused me but I never bothered looking them up!

[@yerzhankurmanbay]

I only recently learned that second singer was Sting

[@Kepler170]

thats half of it, the other half is about the rich literally not having to work a day in their life for their cash at all.
