I have a terrible, terrible confession.

I always thought "Money for Nothing" was ZZ Top. I just found out it wasn't.

errr...no. Checks for free makes no freaking sense. It's about wishing you had a rock star's life, and they get their CHICKS for free. Maybe they get checks for free too, but who the hell would care about that? Besides, in the 80s everyone got their checks for free.


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
Now that ain't workin' that's the way you do it
Lemme tell ya them guys ain't dumb
Maybe get a blister on your little finger
Maybe get a blister on your thumb

We gotta install microwave ovens
Custom kitchen deliveries
We gotta move these refrigerators
We gotta move these colour TV's

See the little pillowbitergot with the earring and the makeup
Yeah buddy that's his own hair
That little pillowbitergot got his own jet airplane
That little pillowbitergot he's a millionaire

We gotta install microwave ovens
Custom kitchens deliveries
We gotta move these refrigerators
We gotta move these colour TV's

I shoulda learned to play the guitar
I shoulda learned to play them drums
Look at that mama, she got it stickin' in the camera
Man we could have some fun
And he's up there, what's that? Hawaiian noises?
Bangin' on the bongoes like a chimpanzee
That ain't workin' that's the way you do it
Get your money for nothin' get your chicks for free

We gotta install microwave ovens
Custom kitchen deliveries
We gotta move these refrigerators
We gotta move these colour TV's, Lord

Now that ain't workin' 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 your chicks for free
Money for nothin' and chicks for free

I think he's referring to checks as in your bill at a restaurant, makes sense, however I think Dire Straits was saying chicks as in women.

This.

The 80s is still the greatest decade to date for entertainment.

[SLAG]

I was referring to Pay Checks - They get their Pay checks for free - you know - Money for nothing?

When he comes on Letterman as a guest, the band plays Tiny Dancer when he walks out.

Exactly..checks

[RippedmyFlesh]

To OP if you are under 40 it is an excusable mistake. But if you are even close to my age (54) then ya you should be embarrassed.

What!! I'm 37 and I'm not even sure if I can look at posts from the OP anymore, I'm so disgusted.

But, then again, he did publicly admit to it. So we good.

[Why Not?]

And you guys, it's clearly "Chex for free". You think rock stars ever had to pay for their cereal?

I suspect that's U2's cover. Bono is big into that human rights stuff.
