<<<THE T⏳ME CAPSULE<<<

MONEY FOR NOTHING

Dire Straits

1985

U.K. - #4; U.S.A. - #1

Trivia:

Dire Straits was recording at Air Studios, located in Montserrat, West Indies when Sting of The Police, who was vacationing on the island, visited the studio. The two groups had toured together and Mark Knopfler invited him to sing on the song they were working on. That song was "Money For Nothing". Sting agreed to add his vocals to the track, incuding the famous intro "I want my MTV".
