[Coolyfett]

[robstalder]

MTV had music?

[TheAlphaerik]

ORGASM BUTTON ---------> 0:39

[IdeasSponge]

@hardcoreconservativ1 read "stupidity" as pride/apathy/delusion

[IdeasSponge]

@hardcoreconservativ1 lol I really must be a sycophant if you really are that superior of a being to be able to grasp all that I know and am from a single sentence. You are right the truth doesn't lie. Your version of the truth has been spoon fed to you and you are too drunk on stupidity to know truth from fiction. Sucking ass in English doesn't mean one is inept in other, more important fields. It is you that is is not only blind, but has never seen.

[IdeasSponge]

@hardcoreconservativ1 Wow, another sheep that only knows that the TV tells him. *sigh*

[vikingdeath666]

That little Faggot!

[The2ndJanester]

What the fuck happend to MTV?!?! all it is now is just some stupid TV shows that are total crap and drama

[Stokjockey]

Color TV's !!!!

[Freebleepers]

@Stokjockey Yep, I guess they still had B&W tvs in the 80s.

[attitz]

that little faggot is a millionaire

[shitthrowingmonkey1]

MTV was only cool in the 80s.  Now its just shit.

[71shoelover]

LOL Dire Straits made this video thinking they were great for using "Computer grahics" all it says to me is that they could not forward think. They were so stupid and did not realise that the graphics would look shit within a very short space of time. Sledgehammer is the BEST music video ever made!

[johndgray1]

@71shoelover SOrry dude,it was and remains an excellent video.

[71shoelover]

@johndgray1 The graphics dated FAST. As I always look at the bigger picture, This to me say's they did not forward think when they made this video.They must have realised that the computer graphics would soon look well naff. Typical human's inability to forward think... (Sigh)

[johndgray1]

@71shoelover Well,except in 1986 those grapics were made by cutting edge technology.I'm sure wiith you magic ability to see the future you're a bored billionaire.You purchased Microsoft the day it went public,right?You also invested heavily in Nokia and other mobile phone companies because in 1986 you knew that landlines would be outdated by 2000?

It's a great song and still an excellent video.

[larrybndc]

@71shoelover Sledgehammer was stop motion and claymation made by the guys who did Wallace and Gromit. That wasn't very forward thinking at the time in fact it wasn't much more than the techniques pioneered by Georges Melies (sp?) in the early 1900s. Doesn't take away from the fact that you are correct in saying it was one of the best vids. But don't trash these guys for this video. In 1986 this was cutting edge stuff.

[71shoelover]

@larrybndc fair and very honest comment.

[duckboy619]

i like to play this driving down springfield in my pimped icecream truck

[Slowriderr]

240p we meet again...

minecraft pre alpha

[jieuxarmeni]

So what was first, this or "don't stand so close to me"??

[MusickSpaz]

Everytime I think of this song, that graphic guy from the beginning of the video pops up in my mind. :) miss the times when music was good.

[TheElla123abc]

great song. But the worst video ever made possibly.

[naahspfc2]

s2

[Thorongir]

would it be more politically correct if he said "that little homo sexual got his own jet air-plane" all these queer chocolate pushers moaning about it makes me laugh.

[baronofcheese]

@Thorongir CHOCOLATE PUSHING?! HOLYSHIT DATS HAWT!

[Thorongir]

First thing on MTV if i remember right ?

[MysticDMBherb]

@Thorongir video killed the radio star

[Multi80sfan]

whats with the littlt blur in the bottom right corner of the picture?

[the3aremine1]

according to Nikki Sixx they wrote this about the Crue

[ralphm2]

8 people were too drunk and missed the "like" button! :O

[raretunes1]

0:39 - love it!

[sportsportsport]

Banned from radio... for the word faggot.. haha Mark Knopfler is the man!

[droptopsixfo]

@sportsportsport False, I just heard it on the radio here in Seattle.

[the3aremine1]

@sportsportsport in the uk a faggot is some type of meatball, it's also a bundle of sticks and fyi a fag is slang for a cigarette. I once got booted out of a chatroom years ago for saying one min just going for a fag lol

[sportsportsport]

@the3aremine1 Lol, I live in England and I'm English. I know, It's mostly used in modernity to offend a homosexual however. I've had faggots and beans before, decent faggots too. Good stuff for the winter! ;)

[the3aremine1]

@sportsportsport you have to be so careful now lest you offend someone by saying what i did in the chatroom years ago, just thinking now what other words we can no longer use lol

[sportsportsport]

@the3aremine1 Yep, it's fairly saddening to be honest. I think it's liberal hysteria that everyone is so attracted to. Not me.

[the3aremine1]

@sportsportsport Good old hysteria, surprised i've not been burnt as a witch lol

[evilspitfire69]

@the3aremine1 let me say i dont think a meetball, cig, or buddle of sticks have earings or are millionares, howver i dont really care they say faggot i actually think its good that they us it in a bad way

[the3aremine1]

@evilspitfire69 wht is a buddle lol ;-)

[fuzoya]

buen temaaa

[Thundadragoon]

minecraft guy got a bit lankier

[ginahooch]

I want my MTVVVVVVVVVVVV

[garymcpherson]

oby nbbbaby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MrByootox]

The video was state of the art at the time !!

[ROSJIM1000]

esta bueno el video y la cancion

[SFGuy415]

The original, uncut version is played all the time on San Francisco rock stations and no one complains about the use of the word "faggot". People here understand the context of the word in the song.

[droptopsixfo]

@SFGuy415 Same with seattle

[Loosewire2]

Damn faggots! :D

[SnakeDoctorSilver]

"That little faggot bought his own jet airplane", when listening to this song as a kid, I never heard any of this. Coming back to this makes me wonder if this is why my parents wanted me to turn the volume down.

[GarageAirsoft]

@SnakeDoctorSilver Probably because your neighbours had not yet been exposed to REAL music and the shock would probably seriously hurt them!

[deadline27]

@SnakeDoctorSilver were your parents faggots or something ?

[leedee4]

7 and i love dire straits lmao u dumb ass

[L555ENC1]

@Ptolomei100 WELL PUT!.

[xxxar0wxxx]

[7170Leonardo]

dire straits live forever! ;-)

[DeteFromBlokvi]

0:38 The electro! :D

[cl4udio97]

you play the guitar on the MTV!

[ocarina2boy]

My favourite bit is at the start, when the main riff starts. Just magic.

[castsebi987]

the girl a 3:30 is very cute

[castsebi987]

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 it's a ironic test don't offend gay

[richard011064]

i wish my laptop could go louder xD

[michaelkyoo777]

Tore Andre Flo?

[PowerThirteen]

I used to listen to this all the time when I was a kid. It amuses me how there's an electrical appliance salesman somewhere who kind of wrote half of this and doesn't even realise it. :D

[LipeNoHabbo]

OMFG! This is the true ROCK!

[CospeBala]

não tem nenhum brasileiro aki não?

Excelente musica, me lembra de bons momentos do "Rock 'N Roll"........

Metal na veia!!!!!!!

[ruadriob]

Terribly shit video, hate the singing style, and pathetic use of a very offensive word.

The only redeeming aspect is the good opening riff.

"in store microwave oven" er ok

[poolhorse]

@ruadriob

Come on... is it really that offensive? I'm sure 99% of all homosexuals have NOTHING against this great track...

The joke - in this song - is on the dude who's slaving in the appliances store, NOT on the little faggot with his jet-airplane!

By the way, they sing "we gotta INSTALL microwave ovens"...

[vicmou]

para mi es el mejor video.. es lo mejor banda que mi madre me hizo ecuchar

[lachiezndylz98]

Love the dog at the beggining :)

[yellowtaxi11]

I searched "microwave oven song" and I still found the video! haha

[regarvizu]

mark knopfler looks alot like seinfeld

[LucZamTor]

6 people are angry envious faggots

[Gabriel87100]

This intro is epic ^^

[Stegusuario]

this is the best videoclip

[Shoeller]

6 people don't get chicks for free

[TheLadyAgnes]

I don't know why Canada banned this! Only one word! I don't understand these idiots!This song is great and video is cool!!!!!!!! :)

[monsterabyss1992]

if they banned this for using the word faggot then why don't they ban nearly every rap/hip hop song for saying nigger?

[TYPHOOMASTER]

@monsterabyss1992 Because that would make sense :P

[cameltubed]

This song is banned in Canada, because of use word "faggot". According to the CBSC song is incompatible with the Charter of Human Rights, and therefore "no more" acceptable.

Damn, stupid faggots

[britva817]

There are 6 faggots here.

[Kyliawitch]

@britva817

7 lol

what's not to like about this song?? Eventhough I'm more fan of Goth and Viking Metal , this is the kind of rock music I danced on when I was younger :D

[L555ENC1]

@britva817 EASY PAL NICE WAN



[fusel412crew]

@britva817 now 7

[lovebird164]

[baronofcheese]

[byTripzy]

[britva817]

[forthepeeps345]

this makes everyone think of the good times

[murdockta]

i want my i want my MTVVVV

[dcesdc]

" LOOCK ATTHAT "

[amateurcover1925mcr]

Man how I love this song, this is my childhood!! <3 and no, I'm not old, not even 20 :)

[mariepol99]

merci à vianaha de ses éclairages 

[mariepol99]

ce tube de 1985 est sujet à contreverse ...... de par les paroles qui seraent acerbes à l'encontre de ........ bref ! n'étant pas anglophone; je ne saisis pas véritablement le thème ......

[vianaha]

@mariepol99 En gros la chanson parle de la vie de rock star du point de vue d'ouvriers ordinaires. Mais comme le conteur (fictif) de la chanson vient d'un milieu populaire, il utilise un langage familier, voir ordurier. Par exemple, il traite "tapette" le chanteur qui passe à la télé. Je ne vois pas en quoi ces paroles choquent. C'est le décalage entre des ouvriers qui s'échinent tous les jours pour un salaire de misère et des stars qui ont une vie facile juste en jouant de la guitar.

[Arlik77]

Peligro!!! una minoría quieres restringir con absurdos y pretenciosos argumentos de igualda la libertad de las mayorías. Espero que YOU TUBE no les siga el juego. Esta canción y video son un ICONO de los ochentas

[Arlik77]

Peligro!!! una minoría quieres restringir con absurdos y pretenciosos argumentos de igualda la libertad de las mayorías. Espero que YOU TUBE no les siga el juego

[Dasclsad]

Those faggots only confirms they're huger faggots than they're by forbidding this awesome song.

[anadas]

in canada is this song forbidden

[TfT01]

the clip somehow reminds me of Minecraft... xD

[JKGKuin]

This is the title song of the first CD I ever bought (in 1989). Still love it! Don't believe it got banned from Canadian radio for some far-fetched reason.

[screwzlooose]

the song tells a story, and it's from the perspective of a 1980's appliance delivery man..... yeah, he said faggot, get over it, ya QUEERS.

[Todegra]

I just read in an online newspaper that this song is censored on Canadian radio because of the word "faggot"...

This song is a landmark in music-history, welcome to the 21th century, F****ng faggots.

[ACORNSUCKS]

Rock on little faggots with the earring the makeup!

[ghiribizzi]

faggot whats wrong with that, if this was the first video to be air on mtv and nobody complaint and dont see why these faggots of today complain!??....how thing had change!!

[TalmidHaMashiach]

I understand this version of the song to have the original lyrics and not the revised ones that certain Tv and Radio netwworks have censored the word "faggot" for "Mother" apparently pertaining to "mother f****r". With all the rap and many other types of songs that contain profanity and phrases totally unacceptable for any young person to be subjected to, a fuss is then made about this song which is less than mild by any comparison. Canada has just banned this version after just 1 complaint !

[TalmidHaMashiach]

Too many overly sensitive people. No need to try and be a victim. Its true that Mark isn't referring to anyone as a faggot. Research the song . Its well documented and Knopfler has confirmed in numerous interviews which may even be on YouTube, that the idea of the song came to him whilst observing workers in an appliance store in NYC, where Mark took pen and paper and wrote down how the workers made comments whilst watching other singers on the shops TV's which were all tuned into MTV.

[ixlnxs]

If it's ok for artists to call me faggot, is it ok for me to call my fellow human beings nigger? Or gringo? Or kike? Just asking. Inquiring minds want to know.

[spacemonkey42024]

@ixlnxs you don't get it, the artist isn't calling anyone a faggot. He's speaking from the point of view of a disgruntled blue collar worker who is jealous of the musicians success. In a way he's calling himself a faggot, because he's one of those musicians.

[sinnerfire]

CHASE THEM DOWN AND SET FIRE TO THEM IS WHAT I SAY... DIE NOW PLEASE SO WE CAN GET BACK TO LISTENING TO SOME DIRE STRAITS IN PEACE

[sinnerfire]

CHASE THEM DOWN AND SET FIRE TO THEM IS WHAT I SAY...FAGGOTS DIE NOW PLEASE SO WE CAN GET BACK TO LISTENING TO SOME DIRE STRAITS IN PEACE

[MaGneToMvL]

faggotsss xd

[BillyBughead]

As a member of Freaks Against Guitars, I must strongly object to the use of three-chord harmony in this song. The repeated transitioning between an F chord, an A chord, and a G chord is an obvious secret message making fun of our organization. What happened to the good old days, when decent folks burned records at bonfires, instead of putting them on Canadian TV? Rock and roll has got to go! Plus my friends in PETA want to know how they made the dog howl in this video. Animal Abuse?

[ksharkman]

Dire Straits' "Money for Nothing" can no longer be played in Canada in its original form since the Canadian Broadcast Standards Council has deemed the song offensive. Which is so stupid.....

[MrJames247365]

yeah baby

[ADrockstar22]

I want my MTV Damn it. Why r we subjected to whatever is being played on the castrated channel known as MTV know. It makes me sad.

[toasterkid123]

this was the first ever song on MTV WHOOO!!!!!

[beniscool4321]

@toasterkid123 On MTV Europe yes, not on MTV in general.

[UNUOMOQUALSIASI]

GREAT SONG AND GREAT BAND !!!!!!!! NICE MEMORIES FOR ME ......

[talltim232]

What effect does Mark Knopfler use to get the sound for the riff?

[sUiSid3]

@talltim232 no effect there jsut check the tab and try playing it sound pretty much same, adjust your amp and guitar to it, should be enough.

[justpassnthru]

Look at that mama, she gonna stick it in the camera lens so we can have some!

[Nowhereman90]

Nena dame queso roñoso!

[Ryan31294]

look it's mine craft

[slash92able]

i hate mtv

[TheOSUfan46]

song tells the truth about music today.

[sjlarcadia]

It's a shame MTV should just change their name to "R"TV (Reality Television). Not the quotation marks around the reality.

[Dude31197]

thats whot u see wen u take drugs

[wrdturkey]

That was from back in the days when MTV rocked and artists knew how to make a music video.

[stealhty1]

the day i can play my guitar like this i"ll quit my job

[2349DF]

best guitar rift ever!

[DCFC79]

Awesome track, 

[DjPinxu]

[PapushoProducciones]

Rghhhh, nobody cares if you're 13 and like this song. T_T

[PdubzCrew]

6 people need to die

[AvanLotharion]

Mark Knopfler knows things.

[johnnyfacehead]

my favourite part is when he gets the money for nothing

[Gamebit257]

It sucked after 4:48 - after the end! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[SoleyQ]

this is so awesome just magnifique :D

[Spork78]

Great track. Back in the day when artists actually wrote their songs.

[PapushoProducciones]

@Spork78 Now. . . :(

[LeLimeLine]

@Spork78 If you stop listening to mainstream music, all you'll hear is music written by the artists performing it.
