Dire Straits - Money For Nothing (Phonogram)
The first half minute of this sounds nothing like Dire Straits, being full of bubbling synthesisers and falsetto vocals. Then Mark Knopfler gets going and it's back to the normal soporific stuff as he sings a truly tragic tale of rock stars who get "money for nothing and chicks for free". Is there anything more boring than pop stars writing about the endless trials and tribulations of being a pop star? (Yes actually. The whole country going bananas about Bruce Springsteen - Ed) (Chris Heath, Smash Hits, June 19, 1985)
