Barry from Sauquoit, NyPer: on Billboard's Top 100 chart on September 15th, 1985.Then again, these are people who move microwave ovens for a living, so presumably not the quickest rats in the maze. (Fun Fact: NYC has both more lawyers, absolute number, and more lawyers per capita than any other city in the world, including DC, San Francisco, Boston, the Hague, London, &c.) I woulda lawyered up so fast it would make your head spin. How is it possible that the guys that Mark Knopfler heard yapping about in that appliance store in New York never heard their own convo coming back as the lyrics of THE NUMBER 1 SONG on the charts? Smartalek from BostonHere is what I want to know:.I never was a fan Tricky Dick so this was just another dried piece of timber that burns. It was climbing the charts but Nixon administration didn't like what it was insinuating so they called the record company to quit promoting the song. One of the early songs that was a commentary on the Vietnam Conflict. Terry Kirkman wrote Requiem for the Masses. The Association, one of the biggest sunshine pop groups of the 1960s ran into the disfavor with the Nixon Administration. But here in the states we have had indirect censorship too. The BBC has censored songs because they have perceived references to drugs or brand name products. But given that Canada shares a sovereign head with the UK that does not surprise me. This is the first that I have heard about the CBC censorship. James Russell from Apex, NcIt is good that bureaucratic systems are constantly on the vigil trying to protect our sensibilities.Dt from Perdido Beach"money for nothing-and your chicks for free" great line! Awesome drum lead in and guitar.Travler from West-by-god"Look at that Mama, she got it.sticking in the we could have some fun"!!! They quit showing that part of the Video with the up close crotch shot !!!.Dave from Qld Australia It would have been so easy for Mark to edit the word "fa-ot" with "Gay guy" as it fits easily into the song if it had been such an issue back then.oh well still love the song and the music.Breddeley from UsaWho's voice is "howling" on the song? I guessed Sting but not sure.
#You and me go fishing in the dark music video free
Those places are the same as that den of theives, when they put a price on God's free gifts. Look at all of the things that people sell. God's temple was made to be like a buissness. People make non living trees, called stores. God, who made somthing needs to be in our mind, giving the somthing that God made, to others. Money that comes from nothing is being used to buy that which is somthing.
Artie Whitefox from Southern California Money is nothing.We are not nothing, needing to be money, for others.
Money will be seen as the useless nothing that it is, when God's gifts are used up. Artie Whitefox from UsaMoney is nothing.It was like a big advertisement for them." Videos were getting a bit boring, they needed some waking up. The characters we created were made of televisions, and they were slagging off television. Said Barron: "The song is damning to MTV in a way. Knopfler agreed (in part because he didn't have to appear in it), and Barron hired a UK production company called Rushes to work on it. Barron says that Knopfler wasn't into the idea, but his girlfriend - an American - was at the pitch and loved the idea.
Steve Barron was dispatched to do the video, and charged with the task of convincing Mark Knopfler, who hated videos, to do one that was groundbreaking. The song ended up sounding like an indictment of MTV, but Les Garland, who ran the network, made it clear that they loved the song and were flattered by it - hearing "I Want My MTV" on the radio was fantastic publicity even if there were some unfavorable implications in the lyrics. Mark Knopfler took the directive to write an "MTVable song" quite literally, using the network's tagline in the lyrics. Their answer was: write a hit song and let one of the top directors make a video. In the book I Want My MTV, various people who worked at the network explain that Dire Straits' manager asked the network what they could do to get on the network and break through in America.
