Money for Nothing" is a song by the British rock band Dire Straits, the second track on their fifth studio album Brothers in Arms (1985). It was released as the album's second single on 28 June 1985 through Vertigo Records. The song's lyrics are written from the point of view of two working-class men watching music videos and commenting on what they see. The song features a guest appearance by Sting, who sings the signature falsetto introduction, background vocals and a backing chorus of "I want my MTV" set to the same notes as the chorus of the Police's hit "Don't Stand So Close To Me". The groundbreaking Steve Barron-directed music video, one of the first uses of computer-animated human characters, was the first to be aired on MTV Europe when the network launched on 1 August 1987.

Hi Stu It seems that my message is not reaching you on the chat screen. You said you were redoing the bass, but the reason was that the sound was distorted due to too much boosting. I went back to the original sound source and then boosted it moderately again. I think the E string sounds better now, what do you think?
Hi Stu I uploaded guitar track.. Hope you like it.
yoshikoba: Still trying to get that drummer so whenever you're ready with the guitar, that would be great! --AIA
stubass I've uploaded my first track for the Intro, let me know if you like it. I save a Mix, just volume change. Let me know if you like the track. I need to work on the Solo Synth on the intro and also the short Synth Bass track. I'll work on those this week.
Megasis: Thx for joining in. Looking forward to your part. No Rush!
