Money For Nothing lyrics

I want my MTV (X 16) 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 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 gotta install microwave ovens Custom kitchen deliveries We gotta move these refrigerators We gotta move these color 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) Gotta install microwave ovens Custom kitchen deliveries We gotta move these refrigerators Gotta move these color 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 And he's up there, what's that? Hawaiian noises? Bangin' on the bongos 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 kitchens deliveries We gotta move these refrigerators We gotta move these color TV's Look a' here That ain't workin' that's the way you do it You play the guitar on your 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 Money for nothin' and your chicks for free Look at that, look at that Money for nothin' and your chicks for free I want my, I want my, I want my MTV Money for nothin' and chicks for free (Fade) I want my, I want my, I want my MTV

It's obvious -- Mark Knopfler is making fun of the early MTV stars and their music videos. In the voice of a hard-working appliance mover and installer, he's saying there's no hard work going on with these rock stars and they're not dumb-- they may get a blister here and there (from playing guitar), but they're getting "money for nothing and chicks for free" (groupies), and maybe I "should learn to play the guitar on the MTV." Yes, some of the words are a little harsh and controversial, but this song was written tongue in cheek, and it backfired because it became a huge hit showcased on MTV with a clever music video and won a Grammy for Best Rock Performance of -- forgot the year -- in the 80s, I think. I know the purpose of these posts is writing the meaning of songs, but have you listened to this fabulous band (and Knopfler is fantastic, plays guitar beautifully[listen to Brothers in Arms by Dire Straits], does all the vocals and writes the songs)? Along with Brothers in Arms, listen to Why Worry, The Man's too Strong, Romeo and Juliet -- there are too, too many to name.
