Money For Nothing by Dire Straits

I left work and this song started before I was even out of the parking lot, so I didn't think anything about it being the last song. As I got close to home, I started to realize that it may be this song after all. Then I got stopped by a train and figured it wasn't going to happen. As you can tell, it still made it. I don't think I realized that this song was almost 8 1/2 minutes long, or at least the Spotify version is.

(I want my MTV)

Now look at them yo-yo's that's the way you do it

You play the guitar on the M.T.V. 

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 T.V.'s.

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 kitchen deliveries

We gotta move these refrigerators we gotta move these color T.V.'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?

You bangin' on the bongos 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 gotta install microwave ovens custom kitchen deliveries

We gotta move these refrigerators we gotta move these color T.V.'s.

Listen here

Now that ain't workin' that's the way to do it 

You play the guitar on the M.T.V. 

That ain't workin' that's the way you do it

Money for nothin' and your chicks for free 

Money for nothin' and the chicks for free

(Get your) Money for nothin' and chicks for free

Money for nothin' and the chicks for free (I want my, I want my MTV)

Money for nothin' and the chicks for free

We've had some movement in the top 5 (30 days) which I figured was coming soon. You Wouldn't Know by Hell Yeah! lost it's top spot after 25 days to Champagne Supernova by Oasis. Since the top 5 is only in the last 30 days, I figured it would be dropping soon with the 30 days coming up. Champagne Supernova was introduced to the blog almost a week ago but has only been in the Top 5 for 4 days.
