This is a brilliant takeoff on the old Tennessee Ernie Ford song - I love it! (I can understand those who are not familiar with that old chestnut of a song not getting this song tho.)

I see a money theme.

Anyway, that was actually fun. I was like "what song is this? And how come I recognize it?". Then I was like "Ooohh yeeeaahhhh..Dire Straits."

I think this is a scream. For those of you truly offended, check out Big Daddy's take on Sgt. Pepper's.

I can't decide if this is supposed to be a satirical song or not.

I'm picturing some high school jazz students sitting around recording this.

why? why was this produced, why has it made it to RP? With so much good music and so little time, why Bill, why???

There is absolutely nothing of merit in this song. Time to switch to another channel for the rest of the day.

I agree with the poster who said this song needs to be put down.

Kill It.


While this cover is indefensible, the original lyric is intended to be satire about a narrow point of view held by a type of person, not a shallow homophobic stab.

This would be humorous to watch in a coffee shop. Did not need to be recorded.

Ugh. Every time you think it's over, it just keeps going.

Yep,

Kind of like listening to Weird Al, or Primus. Good for the humor, not for the musical content, but humor only takes it so far.

Unfortunately we're up to several dozen plays by now. Even a brilliant joke wears thin with repetition.

Not that I dislike this mind you but I'm having visions of a bunch of guys and gals wearing boots and hats, deer skin jackets with lots of long fringes, on the stage at Nashville at the Opry...... with Tennessee Ernie Ford as back-up singer.

Thank goodness!

This brightened an otherwise dark and cold early Saturday morning. I came to the comments, expecting all kinds of hatin'. Fortunately, it seems like the vast majority of folks have enough of a sense of humor to appreciate this.

My faith in humanity is restored.

Lets agree that Money for Nothin is what levered Dire Straits into the mainstream (and the very over mixed Industrial Disease). Big Daddy's version is kick. I look forward to hearing it again in about 6 months (not sooner please).

Very nice. Exceeds the original by far. Like the choral allusion too.
