Dire Straits fue una banda de rock británica, fundada en 1977 por Mark Knopfler a la voz y a la guitarra, David Knopfler también a la guitarra, John Illsley al bajo y Pick Withers a la batería, con Ed Bicknell como director.
El grupo basó gran parte de su éxito en su cantante, líder y guitarrista Mark Knopfler, que posteriormente ha continuado su carrera en solitario.
La banda se disolvió en 1995 no sin dejar antes una discográfica llena de grandes canciones.
Money for Nothing es la primera recopilación de la banda británica, lanzado en 1988. Incluía la canción también titulada Money for nothing.
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 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 ovesns
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.
