Dire Straits - Money For Nothing music video (Good quality, all countries)

[PineShrub420]

This came out when I was in high school. It's still funny when the big dude puts his buddy's frozen head in the microwave for a quick thaw.

[TheOrderoftheOwl]

Ill bet they thought this video was futuristic at the time...

[MrMackey20]

oh and by the way....FAGGOT.

[MrMackey20]

I agree, if you don't like how the artist wrote the song then don't listen to it. Its THEIR creation. The original is what I grew up listening to and its what I will die listening to. If you're bitching about it then you better not be watching cable TV either.

[mjn76]

Whoever mangled this song by censoring an entire verse should truly be ashamed. THERE WAS A REASON for using the word "faggot" in the song. Knopfler was portraying a blue collar, uneducated person looking down on the music industry and wealth generally. Such a person WOULD use slurs like "faggot." But who cares about artistic integrity when certain corporate cowards fret over the sensitivities of the P.C. zombies?

[OneManBoxOffice]

@mjn76 Blame the networks. Hell, they even censor it on radio stations, so the real blame goes to the record company.

[oldVideoGamesChannel]

wait so we can have songs about black people raping women and using the N word, but we can't have the word faggot in classic 80s song?

[kpo1303]

I want music on my MTV

[Brian319]

I want my MTV..........

[barfyspitz]

Hard to believe the effects in this video were cutting edge at the time. I can remember people marveling over how " High Tech " this video was. And yes, they use to play the "faggot" verse on the air and it wasn't a big deal. 

[TheCycadsAreAudible]

Number one song the day I was born

[Solidus4060]

@TheCycadsAreAudible me too

[loqutor]

I freaking LOVE the guitar in this song.

[FastisFast]

The number one song the day I was born lol

[systemofadown12222]

@FastisFast Me too man.haha. What day you born on? I was on November 19 1993

[SketiSquad]

This is so amazing

[bluefukingreene]

sting on back ups....this song murders bout 99 percent of the music today....i mean popular music...theres great underground bands from all era's that are as good as anyone but no ones really heard them...a band from cali called astra for example....entranced is another...the devils blood..dire straits has a bunch of good ones.....the 80s in general was better than people today think.

[blackei123]

VH1 Classic has the video with the missing part in it. I just checked it out.VH1 Classic still has some balls apparently.

[MrBlueSky011]

Minecraft.

[MudFlapper359]

I would have to disagree with the 58 people who dislike this video because this song has a guitar riff that can't be beat,so yeah,no more dislikes.

[highoctave1]

that's Sting in the vocals!

[123axr]

Yah I know, Sometimes I hear the entire song on the radio or on Pandora, but they really limit it. Some stations blur the word Faggot out.The Gays have a lot of power man. I told my son, if the majority of the people who got cancer were gay, there would be a cure for it.

[DukeofDudes74]

MTV today is crap.

[snowflakesiamese]

music sucks these days this was the shit!!

[bosnian11111111]

this song is fuckin sick!! they sure dont play guitars like this no more :(

[oooMTBMTBooo]

they just dont have shit like this anymore

kind of depressing

[VibrationsfromMirror]

@oooMTBMTBooo this song, for those of us that remember its debut, was the first of its kind. Brainwashing on a whole new scale, or should I say New Order? If you like this watch, Phil Collins Band, "land of confusion" ~ Peace

[chrisdude2000]

that ain't working, thats the way we do it!

[3563kelly]

i should of learned to play the guitar i should of learned to play them drums

[davidratcliffe1]

I heard Knopfler in an interview say he and his wife were shopping in an appliance store. He heard music coming from the stock room where a couple of guys were watching MTV and commenting on the videos. the lines in the song are basically those of the employees. If you watch the video, which is awesome, you will see this for yourself.

[therealraybaby]

Let me tell ya them guys ain't dumb!

[winner1ification]

Mtv is called that for a reason

[akaStarfighter]

Love the beginning guitar intro

[3563kelly]

I can remember when this video came out on MTV, yeah i'm old and still love it

[7466309change]

when MTV rocked for me watched this constantly.Just dig it man.

[kja427]

And one wonders why THIS was The Late Pricness Diana's favorite band. Just listen, aand you'll hear that Knoffler and company weren't going to hold back anything from anybody. That's why 1985 was their best year. Nice job, Guys!

[princessoffire1107]

LMAO we thought we were SO COOL with those "new computer graphics" ... believe it or not kids, yall wouldn't have the video games you have today if it wasn't for us having "corny" stuff like this ! ;) So every time yall make fun of us "old folks" and our "stupid 80s"... make sure you throw away your cell phone, ipad, ipod,iphone, laptop, nintendo etc because if it wasn't for us paving the way, ya'll wouldn't have CHIT !

[stitches611]

wasnt this one of the first MTV music videos?

[MetalDragonX694]

@stitches611 Actually MTV goes back to 1981, so it's not.

[stitches611]

only 731,974 views, MTV has deteriorated, i mean thats alot of views but less than there should be, more people should realize the epicness of the old MTV

[init4mojo]

A classic, I remember when this video came out on MTV!

[TubeSalvation]

Money cannot buy Love :

watch?v=ysNd4QGOgeY

[vergil114]

"All countries"

... except for Australia

[rleighann220]

 HA! I love this song :)

[able506]

the effects in this video are crazy futuristic and mind blowing 

[CactassDupree]

That Mark Knopler can play!!

[omnibones12]

One of his best

[ciller1985]

great song.

[rcsrule18]

They are playing a song talking about MTV while the video is being played on VH1...irony :)

[Launchpad05]

2:42 I WAS FROZEN TODAY!

[BenYeahWhat]

[MrSolarisBreeze]

This comes to mind while I work at FedEx...

[LukeL007]

OWS theme song "money for nothing"

[amartin7889123]

@LukeL007 nope thats MF Global's saying.

[thepermman]

[Lowgaen11]

3:35... if only Gibson made a Les Paul in that blue color. I want one like that

[lankeish]

This video is ahead of its time. Graphics are kickass!

[nextgenvisualkei]

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 working, that's the way you do it Money for nothing and your chicks for free Now that ain't working, that's the way you do it Let me tell you them guys ain't dumb Maybe get a blister on your little finger Maybe get a blister on your thumb I should have learned to play the guitar I should have learned to play them drums Look at that mama, she got it sticking in the camera Man we can have some fun

[MisterRogersfreak]

this is like tron

[MegaCarzymonkey]

i love the guitar

[SuperWilliam013]

what happened to ... the little faggot got his own jet airplane the litte faggot is a millionaire. is it so important to be politically correct we can even hear a sond the ways its suypposed to be heard. must be a buncha faggots running utube.

[3563kelly]

@SuperWilliam013 yea i noticed they left that out

[MetalDragonX694]

@SuperWilliam013 This is the edited version.

[blackxopsxmark]

@SuperWilliam013 that littlefagot was elton john and he sued and its only on the radio version

[RattlerX5150]

@SuperWilliam013 If you look at the watermark on the bottom corner of the video it has the vh1 logo, so blame them for the censored version

[jcory0808]

@SuperWilliam013 This is the radio edit.... the album version has a super long intro and the verse you mentioned!

[Nightwing690]

@SuperWilliam013 this was the edited version, when the original aired that included those lyrics, mtv had to edit that part out because if might have been offensive towards homosexuals

[thespartan95]

@SuperWilliam013 well google runs youtube so...

[diklxik]

@SuperWilliam013 I FUKING AGREE! HERE HERE!!! DICK SUKING IN THE WHITE HOUSE IS GOING ON BY EVERYONE BUT THE FEMALES, AT LEAST WHEN CLINTON WAS COUGHT IS WASN'T THE VICE PRES. DOING IT!

[dixielatino]

one of the best video's and best tune from the 80's.

[TheJackieSniper]

I find it rather ironic that the vh1 logo is in the bottom corner. :D

[sweetshazbot]

I used to play 80s rock, but then I got an arrow to the knee...

[mvwsurvival401]

MTV brought me here.

[me34583]

[WeThePeopleRoxx4]

BEEEVVERRLYYYY HILLBILLIIIIIIIIIIIESSS

[BigDaddyCooI]

Awesome.... Lets hope Youtube doesn't turn into the MTV of today... When music television was "music television."

[obiwonkanobi1]

there is no more good music. so MTV don't play music videos no more....

all the old head hanchos know it, and they also know today's youth are mindless

so they put bullshit on only.

[ToadsMGodes]

MTV willingly went to complete shit. I don't understand it.

Too funny!!!

[wheels47012]

remember well, wow, it's our generation of a classic!!!!

[Kento617]

@wheels47012 At least you guys were able to enjoy your great music then. My generation is alright, but maaaaaan I wish they had quality music again. Im not hating on Justin Bieber or nothing, I hope the best for everyone, but I think their is more to music than pop and rap music. I miss The Gorrillaz,. Greem Day, even 80's bands like The Cure and The Smiths! Im 18 and I like to say I know what my tastes are. I just don't really feel it as much as others do for what's overplayed on radios today..

[celticwolf102]

MTV's finest hour,,,now they suck...now its NTV

[davidlrogge]

I remember when Dire Straits was how my dad got us to flee the room because it was "Dad music." I guess it's no surprise that I fuckin love this music now

[MrJameswildcat]

[vbpeepee]

All the MTV comments due to the lyrics, but it was shown on VH1 Classic. Lol

[Ricksteady8]

I want MTV to give me a sloppy hummer, FFS Im glad I have not watched cable/tv in over a year.

[hammr25]

I'm not sure why people want the old MTV back when they can watch almost any music video they want any time they want on the internet.

[TheKarmaRay]

704,929? How come the video's only showing my views?;)

Sure wish music stayed like this.

[TheMpalco]

the almighty buck means more then u do bub.



[djorganic]

i rocked out on this song when i was TEN years old

[whizkidnic]

lsd pot heroin coke are like sugar compared to this song

[schmittelt]

One of the most dramatic intros to a song.

[Guitar14Expert]

Cant wait till 2080. Dad and I are gonna jam in some concerts, and fuckin get wasted in pubs, while listing to Real Rock n Roll.

[ltakliq]

Man those are some sick graphics!

[mikegallegos7]

I want my Real MTV !!!!!!!!!

[CactassDupree]

When did MTV turn into NTV? That's for Next not for what you were thinkin: Got Cha !!

[b0bh00d]

This is the edited version of the song that is now all you hear on the radio. How about "The little faggot with the earing and the makeup"? Where's that part of the song? Political Correctness claims yet another victim.

[MooMooFarmer23]

@b0bh00d Do You Know where i can find the full version of the song? And I Mean the orginal version, any info would be helpful.

[Tboersen2]

@MooMooFarmer23 G Tunes for Android has it. Its free.

[RobTG]

@b0bh00d

I hear that part all the time on the radio. Maybe you just mad?

[Skyedward1313]

@b0bh00d it was a little faggot the corrected it most likely

[Sunnshyneone]

@b0bh00d Right? Such bullshit! 1st Amendment baby. Fuck Tipper Gore and her cronies!!

[thespazztikone]

this song says it all. I want my MTV...like this.

[andrewmarchman13]

I want my Mtv on VH1

[frankyrocksmyrocks]

respect the guitar in this fucker, respect.. just ... respect.

[ElitePraetorianGuard]

Its from the '80s so you have to turn it up because its well mastered.

[yesnokeigh]

what the fuck is going on here.  i like it.

[antoniogarcia1991]

if you notice from the lyrics the song is a parody.

[horatio1962]

thank god for you tube its like the old mtv

[universalsingularity]

Looks like a Residents video amirite??

[Kleefable]

Polygons!!!

[TheGentleman2007]

I WANT MY MTV!!!!!!!!!!! That was the crying call for cable companies to even carry MTV........and all they played on MTV was music and videos; the way it should be!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jon083166]

too bad we have become so pc they force people to change a song to drop the word faggot....man what a shame

[dixielatino]

@jon083166 , I guess we have to be politicaly correct....to forget about freedom of expression . I know how F*&ked up that sounds .

[TonyDanza4Lyfe]

Listening to the full song high is such an amazing experience lol.

[2010mpslick]

1985!!!!!! A GREAT YEAR!!!!! 

[bernercaleb]

@2010mpslick hell yea bro 80s and 90s were where it was at u know 

[bernercaleb]

i want hear the full song put fagott in there u fagot bitches that cut my favorite song come on

[tankerjd66442]

greatest drum intro EVAR!?!??!

[SEMAT56]

i might just have to create a reality tv channel that plays music videos

[backyardsounds]

What the heck is this!? A politically correct version of a classic? For those of you who missed it, this is what's missing,

"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"

[CalebJimmy]

So... Dire Straits developed the first prototype of Minecraft before Notch did?

[cfardella12]

@CalebJimmy nice man. lol

[ArcticWolf125]

MTV shouldnt even be called music tv. hell, they barely show any thing that can even be called music anymore

[Kento617]

@ArcticWolf125 I think you should call it MTV, MTV as in Man Takes Virginity. Thanks Alot Teen Mom!!!! smh

[midflder92]

@ArcticWolf125 correction, they don't show ANYTHING that can even be called music anymore

[immrcole]

i love the song just that mzq88 made fun of the artists

[OvergodValan]

Stupid to change a classic

[RaceLunar]

@hoogerman8 The CG characters here made a cameo appearance in Episode 11 of Reboot. That's the only reason I searched for (and found) this music video. Fascinating stuff...

[mrsserpentmissurussi]

mrs nasa jeanine sally jeanine mail o6.5sextr1ll10nsk0wr0nsk1jun10­r@yahoo.com code o52565285 come on lets do it its their we both know this smell everything its good hu

[Gravida12]

Man, that guitar opens raw...

[Velheim1334]

This was the first music video I ever watched.

[SuperCharlieJohnson]

I wonder how much the tamborine player was paid.

[BluntRip]

LITTLE FAGGOT! FAGGOTFAGGOTFAGGOT

[kedk200]

I haven't got the best eyesight in the world, but it looks like the red letter in that flag is an 'N" (And yes, I grew up with MTV, and not this bullshit it's become)

[morrin22]

53 people don't get money for nothing and chicks for free.

[danaseilhan]

That said, grow the F up--no one cares if you haven't come out of the closet yet. Only a closeted gay dude gets offended by gay dudes. Period. And if you're mad at me for saying that, yep, I'm talking about you too.

[danaseilhan]

I'm all for gay rights but I also understand how that word was used in this song. Dire Straits themselves weren't badmouthing gay people. They were speaking in the voice of a working-class dude who doesn't get why he busts his butt installing appliances and doesn't make half the money of some dude playing around on the TV. It's a story, not the band's actual opinion.

[freeziepop141]

They are some of the best.

[Cpricrn1983]

I miss the way MTV use to be back when I was a kid when they actually played music videos

[zareiy]

@Cpricrn1983 now its dumbass shows but bevis and butthead was cool

[Lizardking2883]

@Cpricrn1983 yes i know

[mckee7181]

no im not offended at all..i been listin to the song since i was in high school..20 yrs later they take out a part of the song because it offended someone..i think its b.s. its like this if u dont like the song dont listin to it..but no u faggots gotta mess it up for everone else..

[mckee7181]

man that ruined the whole song..if someone is offended by the word..FAGGOT.. the they might be a..FAGGOT..if their offended by the word..FAGGOT..then maybe they shouldn't be a..FAGGOT..

[awesomeologyism]

@mckee7181 Like on the Charlie Daniels song "The devil went down to georgia, people were whining about him saying son of a b*tch.

People are getting soft. >:T

[Slumpnasty]

@mckee7181 You're a FAGGOT!  Are you offended?

[janwalsh1000]

I have the version that says faggot on my channel.

[VinnieGazzara]

by taking the wrod faggot out of the song ....it ruins the whole song !!! fuck them faggots !!

[jodezak]

Do you remember where you where when this song hit the TV? I SURE AS HECK DO LMAO!

[realhaunted]

MTV sucks now

[CGC1954]

One of the very best videos of the 80's

[TheAerosmith3]

Looks so much like Minecraft lol i love this song

[1989hirokazu]

they should make a new version talking about todays bullshit lol

[jblev2]

@1989hirokazu I think it is still the same

[rustinpeace1992]

i want my old mtv not this jersey shore teen mom bullshit

[TheWetguy1973]

@rustinpeace1992 Totally agree with you!! I really watch MTV anymore as it totally sucks!!

[bayushizero]

@rustinpeace1992 For sure!

Nothing of value has come from MTV in the past twenty years, except Beavis & Butthead. The rest of the crap has ruined what used to be the best thing to watch on TV. I honestly doubt that Michael Jackson would have been NEARLY the hit he was without MTV.

[vr4runner]

@bayushizero hell yea bro, mtv sucks and so did michael!

[StylixDS]

@bayushizero I thought they had some interesting shows back in the early-mid 90s when Beavis and Butthead were big, things like Aeon Flux and Liquid TV. Still though, they have been going downhill for a very long time.

[benrex09]

@rustinpeace1992 Im just 12 and I totally agree

[jakesteel1]

The chic had a hot p*ssy, would loved to have licked it.

.

Wheres the version where he calls the dudes faggots?

[Sinsults]

@jakesteel1

Trying too hard to appear heterosexual.

In the closet much?

[jakesteel1]

@Sinsults

.

Actually, I am a lover of vaginas.  True story.

.

And I was sincerely asking if the version where he says "faggots" is posted.

.

And it is.

[PiPhiC]

@jakesteel1 I think you are the only person who is actually ballsy enough to use the word vagina in a non-medical way, instead of pussy, good for you.

[deviantdrummer462]

Everyone watching this is over 30! I want my MTV.
