When Dire Straits topped the charts
More music news. Dire Straits topped the Billboard charts on September 21, 1985, with Money for Nothing. Apparently, he wrote the track after hearing an employee at an electronics store making fun of MTV. The man's monologue was used for the song's lyrics!
Rather humble beginnings for a track that continues to inspire children of the 1980s to get down and boogie. Don't know what we're talking about? Ask your parents.
