Album Of The Week: Dire Straits - (Brothers In Arms) - 1985 Money for Nothing is perhaps the albums most famous track. The lyrics were written from the point of view of a working-class man watching music videos and commenting on what he sees. The recording was notable for its controversial lyrics, ground-breaking music video and cameo appearance by Sting singing the songs falsetto introduction and backing chorus, I want my MTV. The video was also the first to be aired on MTV Europe when the network started on 1 August 1987. https://youtube/watch?v=dlPjxz4LGak #AlbumOfTheWeek #MoneyForNothing #DireStraits
