Now 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 got to install microwave ovens custom kitchen deliveries
We got to move these refrigerators we gotta move these color TV's

I went through a major Dire Straits phase years ago.
I still have the Brothers in Arms album stored away (and now vinyl is in
again). Did you know that the band was
British?
Depending on my mood I either played Why worry (sad) or
in my more upbeat moments Money For
Nothing
Mark Knopfler wrote the lyrics. I think he is a great songwriter and was also
fond of his solo album Shangri-La. What
really attracted me to the song was the beat rather than the lyrics themselves. Did you know that Sting did some of the
background vocals?
I'm not such a big fan of Mark Knopfler's style
(headbands etc) but he sure can play
that giii-taar! And his voice suits the
songs.
