Now look at them yo-yo's 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 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 gotta install microwave ovens
Custom kitchen deliveries
We gotta move these refrigerators
We gotta move these colour TV's

See the little faggot with the earring and the makeup
Yeah buddy that's his own hair
That little faggot got his own jet airplane
That little faggot he's a millionaire

We gotta install microwave ovesns
Custom kitchens deliveries
We gotta move these refrigerators
We gotta move these colour TV's

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 fun
And he's up there, what's that? Hawaiian noises?
Bangin' on the bongoes like a chimpanzee
That ain't workin' that's the way you do it
Get your money for nothin' get your chicks for free

We gotta install microwave ovens
Custom kitchen deliveries
We gotta move these refrigerators
We gotta move these colour TV's, Lord

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' and chicks for free

You just cant beat the 60's 70's and early 80's ROCK N ROLL God Blessed us all back then with Music that really had Heart Poured into it Miss being a Sound Engineer from those day's it was a Memorable Experience Tour Bus Runs and Early Rise for Set-Up and Sound Checks and late to Bed with a Good Joint and the Echo of the Tour Bus Engine purring me to I can still close my Eye's and Hear It, and Feel It, I can still remember Cruisin Hollywood Blvd and Sunset Strip going up and down the Blvd. when I wasn't on Tour, I had the Top Down Jammin And Cruisin nothing else like it, The Good Ole Day's WHEN MUSIC WAS A WAY OF LIFE I think the best of all was being able to go on Tour Overseas seeing other cultures of Life and There People so a Blessing to be able to reminisce on all of it is just knowing what I did I made a lot of People Happy !! and got to know them and can still call them My Friend's I still to this Day call some of them and write them God Bless all of Them and to many I can't R.I.P.

I’m 72 and can’t believe I didn’t go totally nuts over people back in the day that had this amazing kind of talent. They are more important to us then any politician that ever slithered into the government.

[douglasblaydes]

guys like Clapton and Knopfler are so clean in their playing - and that makes it outstanding!

[dougolson]

You gotta love Mark's playing style. So distinctive. When you hear it you know it's him .

[ThoughtorTwo]

This song has one of the best guitar and drum introductions. It really pumps you up.

[kathiequintel]

When you hear their music something in you changes, and it’s never the same! The wild call of the guitar 🎸

[AE]

This was one of the greatest concerts of all time, I remember watching this on tv as a child. (Live) Line up included; Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Status Quo to name a few. This started my love for music.

[rickyhamilton]

Two of the worlds premier guitarist’s playing with confidence and without a trace of competition!

[edwells]

Probably one the greatest Guitar Lead ins to any song. . .ever. . .two notes in and you know exactly what the song is and who's playing that guitar!

[laidsgpr]

Hey, this Mark Knofler is a master with the
guitar. Man he knows just how to rock the
crowds, and to really send them WILD !!
Keep goin' man !!!!

[gjovalinkukaj]

Grazie Ringo un grande uomo e un batterista di rara quantità per anni che porti alle !E i miti non muoiono mai ❤❤❤❤❤

[juanaltredo]

two legends, knopfler and clapton, despite being an 80s child Im just discovering how great dire straits were

[johnpoulsen]

What makes this video great is the music, the wind, the time of day, and the director of the video. Brilliant combo

[SheenaRea]

So refreshing to see the audience clapping and dancing, as opposed to holding up their f*cking cellphones en masse.

[jeffelm]

I've said for a long time, I think Mark Knopfler is one of the most underrated guitarists of all time, rhe man is brilliant... And with Clapton that's insane... Ultra cool 😎

[TheMobileHomestead]

Knopfler and Clapton ...two Jedi masters of the guitar

[jonathangreen]

I can't get enough of this song. It's the top 10 of all time!!

[nizamkrul]

He is a King..He is a Master..but also a very humble King and very humble Master..

He doesn't mind to be a sidekick or No.2 for his friends for many gigs and concerts like Mark Knopfler, George Harrison, John Lennon, BB King etc.

He is the Great ERIC CLAPTON !!!

[jhay]

you know you're badass when Eric C plays rythm for you
