Thank you, my friend SGT (Join to see) for posting the official computer-generated imagery of human characters video of Dire Straits performing Money For Nothing music video.
Song background: "Mark Knopfler explained the background of this song by saying, "The lead character in 'Money for Nothing' is a guy who works in the hardware department in a television/custom kitchen/refrigerator/microwave appliance store. He's singing the song. I wrote the song when I was actually in the store."
Sting had a songwriting credit on this track because he says "I want my MTV" in the introduction. He didn't want the credit, but his record company demanded it, thus exemplifying the perfect "money for nothing" case.
This song became the first song played on MTV Europe when it began airing because of "I want my MTV" line at the beginning.
The music video for this song was one of the first to use the computer-generated imagery of human characters. It won Video of the Year at the 1986 MTV Video Awards.
"Money For Nothing" written by Mark Knopfler and Gordon Summer 'Sting' gets credit because his voice is used in the intro "I want my M-TV" because "his record company demanded it, thus exemplifying the perfect "money for nothing" case."
I want my—I want my MTV [4x]
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
We got to install microwave ovens
Custom kitchen deliveries
We got to move these refrigerators
We got to move these colour TVs
See the little faggot with the earring and the make-up
Yeah buddy that's his own hair
That little faggot got his own jet airplane
That little faggot he's a millionaire
We got to install microwave ovens
Custom kitchens deliveries
We got to move these refrigerators
We got to move these colour TVs
We got to install microwave ovens
Custom kitchens deliveries
We got to move these refrigerators
We got to move these colour TVs
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 fun
And he's up there, what's that? Hawaiian noises?
Bangin' on the bongoes 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
We got to install microwave ovens
Custom kitchen deliveries
We got to move these refrigerators
We got to move these colour TVs
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
Money for nothin' and chicks for free
Get your money for nothin' and your chicks for free
Money for nothin', chicks for free
Get your money for nothin', chicks for free
Money for nothin', chicks for free
Get you money for nothin', get your chicks for free
Get you money for nothin', and the chicks for free
Get you money for nothin', and the chicks for free
Look at that, look at that
I want my—I want my—I want my MTV [repeat until the end]
Get you money for nothin', and the chicks for free
Money for nothin', chicks for free
Get you money for nothin', and the chicks for free
Get you money for nothin', and the chicks for free
Easy-easy money for nothin', easy-easy chicks for free
Easy-easy money for nothin', chicks for free
That ain't workin'
Money for nothin' chicks for free
Money for nothin' chicks for free
