On August 10, 1985, 'Money for Nothing' by Dire Straits peaked at No.4 on the UK singles chart. Notable for its groundbreaking music video and a cameo appearance by Sting singing the song's falsetto introduction and backing chorus, "I want my MTV" who also co-wrote the song with Mark Knopfler. The video was also the first to be aired on MTV Europe when the network started on 1 August 1987."

Money for Nothing
Thank you my friend SGT (Join to see) for sharing the official music video of Dire Straits performing "Money For Nothing" in honor of the August 10, 1985 peak of this song on the UK singles chart.

Lyrics
"Now look at them yo-yo's that's the way you do it
You play the guitar on the MTV
That ain't workin' that's the way you do it
Money for nothin' and chicks for free

"Money for Nothing" is a single by British rock band Dire Straits, taken from their 1985 studio album Brothers in Arms. The song's lyrics, considered controversial at the time of the song's release, are written from the point of view of a working-class man watching music videos and commenting on what he sees. The song featured a guest appearance by Sting singing background vocals, as well as the signature falsetto introduction and backing chorus, "I want my MTV."
It is Dire Straits' most commercially successful single, peaking at #1 for three weeks in the United States, #1 for three weeks on the US Top Rock Tracks chart and #4 in the band's native UK. "Money for Nothing" won the Grammy Award for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal in 1986 at the 28th Annual Grammy Awards and the video won Video of the Year at the 3rd MTV Video Music Awards."
