Κυκλοφόρησε τον Ιούνιο του 1985 στο άλμπουμ Brothers in Arms
Το τραγούδι είναι για μια πραγματική συζήτηση ανθρώπων που εργάζοντα ως ντελίβερι και παραπονιούνταν για τη δουλειά τους.
Ο Mark έγραψε τους στίχους του τραγουδιού. Το βίντεο του Money For Nothing έχει μια πολύ ενδιαφέρουσα ιστορία πίσω του .
Η λογοκριμένη λέξη στη μουσική δεν χρειάζεται μια ιδιοφυΐα να την καταλάβει. Οι ρυθμοί και οι μελωδίες σε αυτό το τραγούδι είναι όλα σε σειρά, καθιστώντας το μια από τις μεγαλύτερες επιτυχίες.
Huh, now look at them yo-yos, that’s the way you do it
You play that guitar on the MTV
That ain’t workin’, that’s the way you do it
Money for nothin’ and your 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 got to install microwave ovens, custom kitchen deliveries
We got to move these refrigerators, we got to move these color TVs, ow
See the little faggot with the earring and the make up
Yeah, buddy, that’s his own hair
That little faggot got his own jet airplane
That little faggot, he’s a millionaire
We got to install microwave ovens, custom kitchen deliveries
We got to move these refrigerators, we got to move these color TVs
Huh
We got to install microwave ovens, custom kitchen deliveries
We got to move these refrigerators, we got to move these color TVs
Looky here, look out
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
And he’s up there, what’s that?
Hawaiian noises?
He’s bangin’ on the bongos like a chimpanzee
Oh, that ain’t workin’, that’s the way you do it
Get your money for nothin’, get your chicks for free
We got to install microwave ovens, custom kitchen deliveries
We got to move these refrigerators, we got to move these color TVs
Ow, ow ow ow
Listen here
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’, chicks for free
Get your money for nothin’ and your chicks for free
Ooh, that money for nothin’, chicks for free

Get your money for nothin’ (I want my, I want my)
And the chicks for free (I want my MTV)
Money for nothin’, chicks for free (I want my, I want my, I want my MTV)
Get your money for nothin’ (I want my, I want my)
