There is always one song that stands out in the back of my head when the weekend ends and this is the one that I've been humming for the last couple hours. I decided to post this retro track and make it an epidemic flashback. Hope you have a great start and those seratonin levels are OK!
Flashback:
"Money for Nothing" is a song by British group Dire Straits, which became an international hit when released as a single in 1985. The song was notable for its controversial lyrics, groundbreaking music video and a cameo appearence by Sting singing the song's iconic falsetto introduction and backing chorus, a borrowing of the cable network's slogan "I want my MTV". The video was also the first to be aired on MTV Europe when the network started on 1987.
The songwriting credits are shared between Mark Knopfler and Sting. Sting was visiting during the recording of the song, and was invited to add some background vocals. Sting has stated that his only contribution was the "I Want My MTV" line, which was sung in partial parody of his own song "Don't Stand So Close to Me", originally recorded by The Police.
