- I had to come back with some more Dire Straits. This is my 3rd song by them so far. All have been hits. I am a very big fan of the 80's sound and Dire Straits are definitely becoming one of my favourite bands from that era. A lot of you suggested I listen to Money For Nothing. Many of you said it was their biggest song and that I would enjoy it them most. Make sure to stay tuned to find out!

@@MollyBoyTV I wish you'd just do 'FALLING IN REVERSE - WATCH THE WORLD BURN - then do Falling In Reverse's new song called '"Ronald"' which is a prequel to that song. The sequel to 'Watch The World Burn' is called 'Last Resort' (all have a music video - each are literally a movie!.) If you think these past bands blew your channel up???? lol Wait until you do these my man!! I have tried to urge you to do this band, do I need to tell you why? I am trying to not spoil the surprises which are gonna blow your fkn mind more than ALL you have reacted to! Just sayin'......lol
Excuse me, I believe the young man would tell you, he's REALLY Australian. You can hear the accent. (runs away)
@@MollyBoyTV @MollyBoyTV Yo wats good Molly lad bro, you and girlfriend got to check out this song by Chris Issac song called Wicked Games (react to the official music video). Bro, this guy's voice singing vocals will give you chills and goosebumps and you when you hear his voice along with the guitar riffs, Molly, you're gonna be Nah No way his is this hauntingly beautiful and amazing. Bro, I'm begging you lad, react to the Chris Issac along with your girlfriend or if she's unable to react with you, either way bro, this song is Spotify worthy.
@@MollyBoyTVI'm subbing, man. But you GOTTA do some Pink Floyd! Knopfler is an amazing guitarist, but David Gilmour is absolutely unbelievable! Also an English band.
Check out comfortably numb from the pulse concert. It'll blow you away!
He’s repeating something he overheard workers in an appliance store saying, with that offensive slur. Well, the whole song is based on that encounter. He’s not saying it himself. It’s what he heard them saying. And they’re the ones that deliver and install the appliances. And they’re jealous of how easy rock stars have got it.
Nailed it.
Hate to say it, but a working class guy in the 80s would 100% say that.
@@seamusburke639 Probably always going to be people like that around.
He's totally accurate
@seamusburke639 we all called our best friends that multiple times daily back in the 80s. Nothing serious meant by it. "You use Colgate toothpaste? You must be a F". Little stuff like that no matter what the subject was.
As a gay man who was in his early 20s when this came out, so many people these days lack the concept of context. They hear a word and have a knee-jerk reaction to it without paying attention as to how it's used. As others have pointed out, it isn't the band calling anybody that. The song is from the point of view of the blue collar workers. They are being mocked for thinking being a rock star isn't hard work. They are small-minded and don't understand how tough it is to make it to the top, and their use of "that word" only emphasizes their limited view of the world. The workers may be using the word in an offensive manner, but that doesn't make the song offensive.
Dire Straits never meant to insult or offend anybody. You can hear their voices dripping sarcasm. I can't speak for the entire LGBTQ+ community, but this song never offended me or any other gay person I know. We understand the difference between when we're being slurred, and when the word is being used to portray a character in a bad light.
As a gay man who also grew up in this era, you are absolutely right. Society has now deteriorated to such a point that if you hear any word like this you are 'obliged' to be outraged and offended. As for the so-called LBGTQ++++++ 'community', it is no longer a community that I want anything to do with. It has become captured and taken over by radical political activists, seeking to impose their views and lifestyles on all of society, including children and women, to its and their detriment.
Spot on. You go back to their song Les Boys, I cannot fault them.
It’s funny that some people are offended for you when you aren’t offended at all.
As a straight, awesome!
Song is NOT from the point of view of the blue collar workers. It’s from the point of view of an observer of the conversation of the blue collar workers, describing what he heard. The observer is Mark.
"I want my MTv" was THE catch phrase of the 80s 😂
Truth.
Back when MTV was good. 😊
It's fallen off the past 20 years.
😭
@@briansmith48 More than 20... about 1998 when TRL happened 🤦🏻♀️
Sung by the legendary Sting
@@foreveralone11w . At least they still had music videos during
TRL. 😁
That and shows like Pimp my Ride.
What they got now is Teen mom. 😒
Mark Knopfler of Dire Straits wrote the song "Money for Nothing" in 1985 after overhearing a conversation between two workers in a New York hardware store while watching MTV. The workers were making fun of the musicians on the screen, joking that they were making millions of dollars without doing any work. Knopfler thought the idea was brilliant and started writing down the lyrics using a pen and paper. He wanted to write the song from the perspective of the workers, using some of the language they used, and to reflect their envy of the wealth and adoration of rock stars. The song also explores the labor theory of value, which states that a laborer's time and toil give value to a product or service
That’s STING on the intro vocals as well as thru the song.
To be clear, Sting is the lead singer for The Police. You would love them
You are assuming a reactor would know who Sting is.... Lol
@@cosmin98684 I don't know either
Nope. Sorry.
i want my MTV - don't stand so close to me!
Yes, Clayton has it correct: As I explained when I suggested this track previously -- Mark was in a hardware store; on one whole wall of the store there were TVs tuned to MTV (Music Television); he overheard the workers making derisive and griping comments about the men in the videos and how easy those guys had it compared to their own blue-collar jobs (moving TVs and refrigerators etc.); Mark grabbed a pen and paper and wrote their remarks down verbatim, and they became the lyrics of the song. Given that they (Dire Straits) are musicians themselves, singing the lyrics in an MTV video, it's also somewhat self-parodic and good natured! Moreover, it's fitting because in contrast to some the 'glam rock' of the time, Dire Straits was 'pub rock'. As to the 'offensive' word at issue: 1) That was the word used by the blue collar workers themselves in the hardware store about the guys in the MTV videos (2) it was very common parlance at that time, and (3) it was used more to suggest 'poser' or 'pretty boy' (glam rock) rather than homosexual (i.e. gay guys wouldn't be concerned about getting 'chicks' for free, would they?). Context is everything! Lastly, am thrilled to watch you go down the Dire Straits rabbit hole!
Pin this comment!
What if the manual workers were talking about the boss of their company and not rock stars? Is this making a bit more sense now?
And even they understand the difference between the "story" of the song and them using it, because they replace the word when they play it live.
It was also a big thing to be a sellout in the music industry. Sell out to corporate. And that was essentially MTV, music for ads, no matter how cool it was to see all the videos.
Plus, the workers never could have imagined that Mark Knopfler was the type of guy who would have been on MTV at the time
The lyrics are from the POV of manual workers, lamenting how musicians get their money easier than they do.
Straight to the point, Kev! Well done.
Whos going to tell those guys the robots are coming to replace them now?
you ought to try "Walk of Life" by Dire Straits. Action packed video!
To add to Kevin's statement, the band all held regular jobs before they became big.
@@colty7764 "Walk Of Life"! Yes!
The reason for the lyrics is that he wrote the song after overhearing delivery workers complaining that pop stars were getting money for nothing while they had to work all day installing kitchens and TV's!
The guitar riff to end all guitar riffs
The high vocals saying “I want my MTV” is Sting, from the Police. The Police are a whole other 80s rabbit hole you could go down.
The one thing that very few people realize is that Sting sang the lyrics to the same melody of one of his hits... "Don't Stand So Close to Me".
@@JWhiskey71 gave Sting yet another writing credit to his huge list.
Can't go wrong listening to Mark Knopfler play the guitar!!! The riff for this song is just absolutely filthy!!!
Weird Al asked Mark if he could make the parody Beverly Hillbillies. Mark agreed but only if he played guitar on the song. By this time Mark had the solo refined and it might be faster on the Weird Al version. Weird Al talks about it on the commentary for U.H.F.🤓
Totally unique.Cant think of anything that sounds similar.
The 1983 Gibson Les Paul Standard reissue guitar Knopfler played on the song sold for £592,200 in a Christie's auction in London
You are right! The Brits owned the music for a long time! Pink Floyd, Genesis, Phil Collins, Dire Straits. The list goes on and on.
QUEEN
Im 72 and it has taken about 60 years to come to the realization that from the 60's through the 80's so many of the top bands were British and I didn't even know! I mean yeah, the British Invasion but somewhere along the line I really blew it. Thanks to Great Britain for all the wonderful top notch music❤.
They didn't blow it. The friggin people went stupid and got into worthless rap. I don't even classify rap as music. It's just sleezy drivel to a boring synthesized fake arse beat. No talent needed.
It really is One of the great guitar riffs of all time. The tone on that guitar is awesome! That’s the distortion we all try to get.
The reason people are watching you is because you’re doing a great analysis of all styles of music and your wonderment of the older music is amazing and fun to watch. 😊❤
☺✌💛
this song was HUGE!!!
Didn't make it any good though.
@@keithfreeman7725 is that because you find it offensive? or musically?
@@mattblatchley2061 Just boring
And just like the microwave in the video, it was on heavy rotation on MTV.
@@keithfreeman7725 man... it's like one of the best rock riffs of the 20th century. What on earth do you find exciting?
It's the greatest guitar riff ever period, you were right to feel that!
Maybe split the gold with “smoke on the water”?
@@vilislacis3337 definitely they are equally recognizable and important. It's funny actually because superficially they sound similar. And while it's not a measure of quality, you can learn Smoke on the Water in 20 minutes as a beginner. There are professionals who STILL can't play the Money For Nothing riff accurately because it is a BALL breaker.
@@vilislacis3337 nah. not even close.
THIS IS ONE PROBABLY IS ON THE TOP 10 HITS OF THE ENTIRE 80 DECADE... A MASTERPIECE
They're saying they are doing mundane work and it's boring and laborious but the guy on the guitar does little moves with his fingers on the strings and gets millions(and so he should cos he's awesome). We wish we had a talent like his !!!!
So as others have pointed out, this is Sting doing the "I want my MTV" part. This is because the Police did an ad for MTV where they said that very line. On top of that the music used for "I want my MTV" section is actually borrowed from the Police's "Don't stand so close to me" written by Sting... because of this Sting gets credit as co-writer of the music.
Apparently Dire Straits was in Monserrat recording the album and Mark said something like "You know it would be great to have Sting on this" and someone in the Studio said (again something like)... "Oh, he's on holiday surfing just down the beach." so they went and told him. When Sting saw what they were working on, he told Mark "you've nailed it with this one." (again again something like).
There are several versions of this story out there, this is based on Mark's recollections from several interviews I have seen.
“I want my MTV!!!” was a big campaign slogan for mtv around that time so Dire Straits used it in their video…genius!!
I loved growing up in the 80s and 90s. I miss it dearly
Yeah
Not sure for my parents but as a kid
It was fun 🙃
“I want my MTV!” Back in the 80s MTV was a brand new channel that helped revolutionize the music industry via the music video. This was one of the first videos that really shined on that channel. MTV is still around but they haven’t been strictly music in over 20 years
Yeah, The "M" should not be in the Title of"MTV" ever since the year 2000 when MUSIC was replaced by Gangster Rap & one hour & half hour REALITY SHOWS that all sucked! There is NO MUSIC ON TV ANYMORE. The World Wide Web/Internet bought it all up!
The whole thing just pisses me off! MTV was the best part of my early teens. I was 13 when the channel premiered and I couldn’t get enough. Now you wouldn’t even know that channel even existed.
@@Grungycat67 100000000% agree
Yep I was in high school, we’d book it home (or to friends house who had cable lol) and watch it religiously 😊
Back in the day we were blown away by these epic computer graphics, don't mock us dinosaurs 🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 sadly true ❤
MTV played this nonstop when the show first started in the 80s.
Most recognized riff ever
Sometimes it's not about the lyrics. Sometimes it's just about the music
Actually, one of the things I like most about Mark Knopfler’s songs is that they are generally stories, both the ones he’s written for Dire Straits and in his solo and collaborative performances. Sultans of Swing, Telegraph Road, Done with Bonaparte, Lights of Taormina, Sailing to Philadelphia, Brothers in Arms, Postcards from Paraguay, Long Cool Girl, Tunnel of Love, Golden Heart, If This is Good-bye and many more. Songs about history, people, events - all fascinating both musically and lyrically.
They’re singing it From the perspective that they’re working their asses off in a furniture store delivering furniture, and these guys are on television with their earrings in the make up, not working at all. They see the band is having the easy life and not having to work for their money.
i am now 57 years old. this is the music of my youth. it blows my mind that you have to worry about it being offensive
Totally agree. Everyone today is expected to be "politically correct" at all times over fear of being canceled or sent to the personnel office. That song would not have become a hit if the line was "that little LGBQ person with the earing and the makeup . . .". Back in my day (I'm 75) we said what we meant without having to over analyze each word over fear of offending some thin skinned angry self appointed PC enforcer.
These guys broached the subject so to speak. In fact, they shattered it. They weren't dissing anyone. They brought it out to make us think about it. And we all did!
A lot of people think this was the very first video ever played on MTV it wasn't, but it was the first week. The very first one was" Video Killed the Radio Star"
That whole intro is legendary, and the riff is just insane. To this day, this is the first song I play on any new speakers/headphones/amps to test them out - it covers a huge dynamic range, and it's totally kick-ass, what's not to love. Btw, Mark stopped using the f-slur when he plays this live a bunch of years back - the 80s were a different time, when that word got thrown around way too casually, and he was directly quoting what he heard in the convo that inspired the song, but he's changed it with the times. Great choice, and great reaction as always - cheers from Canada!
He doesn't use the word becasue he knows people are too stupid these days to realise the context. He should use it. Not like he needs the money!
@@dopiaza2006 No, he doesn't use it because he's a decent human being who knows that it's extremely offensive to a lot of people 😀
@@dbradx You are completely missing the point, and at the same time supporting mine. He is mocking those that use that language. The only people that would be offended by it are those that do not bother to consider the context. No word is offensive as a word, or do you want to cancel dictionaries?
@@dopiaza2006 100% correct. Back in the 80's kids would think "sticks and stones will break my bones but names (words) will never hurt me." Now in the mid 2020's younger folks are offended at words and consider them equal to sticks and stones. Talk about the "pussification" of the world. Friggen snowflakes/drama queens are offended at everyone who thinks different than them!!! LOL Just enjoy the music.
@@jr.resendes7373They are like sticks and stones to others. Just because you don't get told you're worthless every day, or feel it, doesn't mean it's doesn't happen to others. Say/hear it enough time and you start to believe it. And it's hard to come back from that.
Iconic riff of the early 80s and one of the most instantly identifiable
The first video “Ever” to be played on MTV I believe
no that is not true.
Tunnel of Love and Telegraph Road next MollyBoy!
Gotta be the live versions off Alchemy Live …..
Sting offers the backing vocals
The lead singer visited NY city and overheard 2 workers in an appliance store talking and reiterated stuff they were saying
Your views on being offended just made me appreciate you more ❤
Old lady gen-x love from Ohio!
Old lady boomer agrees with you from Texas ❤
I was going to explain the song but I see that has been done already so I’ll just add that you’re numbers are growing because you’re bloody adorable!❤🇨🇦
One word QUEEN! They covered just about every genre of music. If you start on that journey it will be one helluva ride. Brian May incredible lead guitarist, and Freddie Mercury rated the best front man and vocalist. I've a feeling you could be shocked at how many extra followers you will get
Great shout. If Dire Straits gives him goosebumps, Queen would blow his mind into Orbit. I love DS but Queen is another level
Brian May is a cosmic-level superstar; legendary rocker from the '70s and decades onwards, then actual goddamn astro-physicist who was on the asteroid "Bennu" sample return mission which was in the news not very long ago at all.
And he still has the rocker hair too, as astro-physicist! :D (It's just a bit greyer nowadays tho...)
I loved your face when you heard that first riff!! It matched ours
when it first came out. The U.K. contributed hugely to the music
industry. Back in the day, it was called “the British Invasion “
which, of course, was started by the Fab Four. You’ll be getting
a lot of suggestions so enjoy…and I’ll be watching. Peace
These guys are unique, one of those bands that’s instantly recognizable, good shit bro
One of thee best damn riffs ever.
Dire Straits with Mark Knopfler,,, always a treat. Sting sang the background vocals on this one.
Their sound is so iconic. I always thought that they were from America when I was young, but they're a British band.
He is now 74 but can still play the best
That guitar sound still gives me goosebumps
I've probably heard that intro riff a thousand times, and it still gives me goosebumps every time, ha
Live was spiritual back in the 80’s when we were in high school.
Fun Fact: Not only is Mark an incredible guitar player, who finger plucks, he is also actually left-handed but plays with his right hand 😉. When you're ready to enjoy some more of Dire's Straits' amazing musicianship and Mark's outstanding guitar playing and musical composition, check out "Telegraph Road" (a masterpiece) and "Once Upon a Time in the West," both from Alchemy Live.
Working vs. Playing music
Money for nothing
"Walk Of Life" should be the next one you do from these guys.
In this song, Marek satirizes the music industry through the eyes of a storekeeper in an electrical appliance store, whom he overheard and directly used the phrases used by him in the stanzas and chorus.
Dire Straits is an incredibly versatile band. Next time try "Calling Elvis" from their 1992 "On the Night" live album.
It's good that so many of us old geezers are telling you what the inside scoop on oldies but goodies are all about.
Knopfler over heard a discussion between 2 workers in a white goods store and MTV was playing on a tv in the store and they were moaning that playing in a band wasnt a proper job as they had to install fridges, TVs etc...thats where the lyrics come from.
The other voice is Sting.
What is a white goods store?
@@stanleymyrick4068 Pretty sure it is British slang for an appliance store as most appliances are white.
@@stanleymyrick4068It's what they call the group of things that are found in kitchens primarily eg. washing machines, tumble dryers, kettles etc.
@@stevew7719 Thanks
Your explanation was much better than mine. Thanks.
One of the best opening Riffs ever i reckon
This came out when I was 5.
I’ve got such a vivid memory of my dad being so impressed because at that age, on first listen, I knew who was doing the “I want my mtvvvvvv”
The things you randomly remember 😂
Sultan of Swing was released in 1978, I was 23. Money for nothing was the premire song for MTV when it shows began.
Romeo and Juliet is an amazing Dire Srtaits tune
Yes
Private investigations or telegraph road next please 🙏
Telegraph Road live Alchemy is my favorite DS. I worry that Molly Boy will be impatient with the slow intro and build, but I think he will eargasm on the outtro explosion between drums and guitar and piano.
Both of these definitely
Two lovely choices! I’d also love Industrial Disease, which has a similar sound and lyrics that tickle me.
I love you so much!!! I live in Tulsa Oklahoma I'm a 67 year old female who loves to watch you enjoy our music. Here in Oklahoma we have had some of the best bands come from here. Keep jamming to some of the best music ever made. It's probably why you hearing it today. Just think how blown your mind would be if you could have been there than. My husband played with some of the best bands in the day. His favorite band is between The Who or Ozzie. Do you want other genres to listen to? If so we will send you music you have not even heard of, mind blowing music. I asked you on another comment asking you to play a song from Beth Hart singing "I'd rather go blind" playing with Joe Bonamassa this WILL blow your mind. You want Jazz she's sooo good. Thanks for reading this. A fan of yours!!!
Love the band, Mark Knopfler and his playing and the reaction. If you want more Dire Straits, i recommend "One World" "Brothers in Arms" "Industrial Disease" "Romeo and Juliet" "Tunnel of Love" "Your Latest Trick" "On Every Street". A couple of those are just personal favorites but there are a LOT of great DS tunes. You almost cant go wrong with them. Happy reacting!
Now you’re experiencing what the 80’s were about!😎
Definitely a classic, pretty sure this was when MTV first started airing music videos too
At that time ALL THEY DID was music videos, all day, every day. No crappy reality programming, just music videos.
this video was revolutionary high tech when it came out. We were blown away by it!
Computer animation has come a long way from intersecting plains to modeling
Declan, it was a real joy to watch your face when you heard the opening iconic riff for the first time. Glad you're becoming a Dire Straits fan.
We're hearing a conversation between these kitchen installers, talking about how easy money being a rock star is.
Telegraph road live. Talk about chills.
This was just after MTV first came out, back when they still played music videos 😢
The full album version has a much longer intro build up with Sting and ending bit too.
Good choice 👍
Check out” Tunnel of Love” live from Wembley 1985- 16 mins of pure DS bliss!
I remember hearing back in the day that ZZ Top inspired the guitar sound. Mark heard the Top and asked what kind of pickup they were using.
He listed to strangers talking about the videos, and musicians in general.
Then he wrote the song.
Thanks Mark.
The anthem of a generation.
It's because you are not used to simple lyrics, they are working as movers, and they look at those rock stars and they are envious, easy life and easy money.
Mark over heard 2 workers at a store talking and wrote down their conversation as insperation for this song.
So Far Away is my favorite Dire Straits song.
The singing at the start "I want my MTV" was Sting
To further your Dire Straits journey, it's got to be the alchemy live version of Telegraph Road, a total tour de force from the whole band. It's long, but by God, you don't want it to end!
One of the first songs on mtv, music videos, 1981!
PLEASED TO BE HERE.❤😂
I’m sketchy on the details now but this video was the first 100% digitally animated thing as of that time. It was considered remarkable in its own right.
Brothers in Arms may be the most famous Dire Straits Song, but the Money for Nothing intro is definitely their signature lick, and always will be.
I think Sultans of Swing is their biggest, but you are so correct about this being their most significant lick. It's also an tone on the guitar that hasn't been replicated even by Mark Knopfler, because he FORGOT what settings he used 🤣!
I don't even know Brothers in Arms, never heard it. Sultans of Swing and Money for Nothing were huge hits. Two of the biggest of that generation. You could not avoid hearing them everywhere.
My man's about to discover that Sting was once cool!
As others have said, Telegraph Road - Alchemy live.
If you liked the outro of Sultans of Swing you'll definitely dig this one. It's in my opinion even better, though both are incredibel.
"...it's still a good Soooong"
Hah! Love it
That build up...
Then when the riff comes in... your hooked by the time the drums hit🤘🏽😎
Grand Funk Railroad
“Inside Looking Out” the live version
I mentioned this as well on one of his videos from the other day - I think he'd really enjoy it!
For sure. Grand Funk railroad is from Flint Mi. One of the best things to come out of Flint in my opinion
Best riff of all time coming out of a song about household appliances, what a legend mark knopfler is
That 'riff' took dIRE sTRAITS to world attention.
The rest is history. 🇦🇺
The song idea came from Mark being in a Home Appliance Store and listening to the salesmen all talking about the TVs all tuned to MTV and the Artists performing.
It's the opening of this song, cranked to 11, to test any audio system.
The harmonising/backing vox are the fabulous Sting
Pcrimson1 c'mon now , your a subscriber, you know we have to let Molly dive into everything, old..new..heavy..light. sure dire straits isn't for everyone...but for someone who hasn't heard it before... this is a classic.
You've got a great attitude young man.... and a great appreciation of great music. Stick in for 50k,
Ok Molly Boy youve gotta hear me out. I know you've never been to a concert before, but there are three youtubers (Bernth, Charles Berthoud, and Ola Englund) that are going on tour together across europe, and they are going to play in london. They are all true masters if their instruments, Bernth and Ola on guitar and Charles on bass. I think that you would absolutely love to see them, and you would be 100% mind blown at what they can do with their instruments. Please look into getting tickets, and even if you don't, at least check out their channels. It's worth it, trust me.
What's their channel called?
@@MollyBoyTV just search their names. I've seen some of Charles Berthoud and he is amazing! Have not heard of the other 2 though.
@@MollyBoyTV Charles Berthoud - The best bass CZcamsr I've ever seen, a true virtuoso
Bernth - A guitarist who is a master of shredding and technique, yet still manages to excell in songwriting and feel
Ola Englund - I don't actually watch many of his videos, but I know from his reputation that he is a wonderful content creator that focuses mainly on metal.
@@MollyBoyTVBtw the tickets go on sale tomorrow and the tour starts in January next year, in case you haven't looked it up already
@MollyBoyTV yo wah gwan Molly lad bro, you got to check out Silverchair song called Tomorrow ( there are two official music videos to react to ) There's Silverchair song called Tomorrow (the Australian or Aussie version) and the second Official music video by Silverchair song called Tomorrow is the U.S. version) and the third video, which is not official, is called Silverchair Tomorrow live MTV Awards 1995 (which is really the live performance video).
Also react to Three Days Grace song called Just Like You (react to the official music video to this song)
Beck song called Loser (react to to the official music video)
Everlast Song called what it's like (react to the official music video)
The lyrics are basically saying that we have to sell televisions, but if you’re a rock star you a a millionaire:)
Told ya, best intro to a song ever
I was born in the early 70's in Southern California and this English band became my favorite of all space and time. Don't sleep on their older stuff either. "Tunnel of Love" studio version has my favorite guitar solo at the end. "Single Handed Sailor" has amazing guitar work. "Wild West End" is just plain cool. "Skate Away" is just plain fun. "Where Do You Think You're Going" is another favorite. And if you want to listen to a song that is really a MOVIE in your head, listen to "Telegraph Road."
The song is written from the standpoint of construction workers lamenting at the easy life of rock stars, not realizing maybe how much struggle it takes for rock stars to get to be stars.
exactly. and this song has been on the radio from conception . who are you "the incredible kimmy schmidt"
@@drfunkology8164 I had to google Kimmy Schmidt. But I'm not a big sitcom watcher. More into dramas :-)
Not construction workers, it was one obnoxious appliance store salesman
@AndyLawlor I suppose the more proper term, at least here in the USA where I am, would be "appliance installers." Generally construction workers build the frame of a house or building and then appliance installers install appliances into the frame. I dashed that off during his live demo and didn't edit it afterward as I figured it was close enough, a working man outside of the music industry amused or annoyed by the work of a rock star.
Yeah, it might seem like money for nothing, but it can be an extremely precarious career. Just look how utterly full the “where are they now” category is.
After being picked up from dance lessons my Mum would try and time her acceleration with the drum build up and then she would floor it to the guitar solo. Coolest song ever
