Controversial lyrics. Endless touring cycles. Classic riffs. Weird Al Yankovic. Episode 4 of Careless Whispod has all of this and more as Gary and Jeremy discuss the smash hit single Money For Nothing by Dire Straits. The lads get talking about the track's amazing chart performance, the revolutionary video, certain lyrical content that caused backlash, Weird Al's brilliant parody of the song, messing with the space time continuum, a possible career in advertising and much more.
