Lyrics:
ow look at them yo-yo’s 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 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 gotta install microwave ovens
Custom kitchen deliveries
We gotta move these refrigerators
We gotta move these colour TV’s
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
We gotta install microwave ovens
Custom kitchens deliveries
We gotta move these refrigerators
We gotta move these colour TV’s
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
That ain’t workin’ that’s the way you do it
Get your money for nothin’ get your chicks for free
We gotta install microwave ovens
Custom kitchen deliveries
We gotta move these refrigerators
We gotta move these colour TV’s
Lord, 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

Sensacional
Epic
Hard to believe 1985 was 40 years ago but still one of my favorites
Fun Fact: The people who made this music video later went off to make ReBoot!
Idea for dire straits movie:
Opening scene
Similar to bohemian rhapsody. Crowds filtering in. Crew wheels cases with instruments. Black screen with camera flickers of quick shots, camera flashes with shots from behind the guys heads, silhouettes on the stage, the first echoes of the guitar just before the solo play over dream-like shots of Mark standing in front of thousands of people, shot from the ground up. Just as the solo is about to begin, silence and the movie starts in the 70s just before they fork the band.
I want my I want my Sting!
🎉🎉🎉🎉
Some ppl : moon landing is fake! It’s a cgi!
CGI in the 1960 :
Its good but

Get your money for nothing, get your chicks for free
[Chorus]
We got to install microwave ovens
Custom kitchen deliveries
We got to move these refrigerators

I guarantee you that they were high on psychedelics when they came up with that intro
Diddy party
I guess the updated version for 2024 would be a TikTok, YouTube, Instagram or OF influencer.
Awesome 🎶
I'm not sure if my edibles are working.
I'm not proud of myself for falling asleep after an early start and falling asleep at Marks solo gig in Manchester 😂😂
27 octobre 2024…une pensée à mon amie de lycée que je ne vois plus ❤️. Bisous ma Julie…Notre groupe préféré
In #panama "should have learnt to play the guitar"
Out of London!!!

Big F FOR MARK FAIL AND BIG T FOR FUCKIN MEAN TIMMY
Cant deliever fuckin dumb team machine fuck
I just wonder how long it took to render the graphics. if try are computer generated.
Gen Z would have cancelled that song for using the word "faggot", it would hurt their feelings
This video singlehandedly represents MTV's golden era.
Bowling screens when you get a strike:

Loved this ever since I was a little girl ❤ a little Mexican girl rockin out to this till this day!(im 42)❤🔥👑
For anyone taking issue about this song's use of the f-word, it's more of sarcastic response to someone else using it derogatory. Kind of like "don't talk shit about that 'little f***t,' he makes more money than you."
