Great album. And who would guess it would pair so perfectly with Star Trek? lol

And THAT is the joy of literary music videos! The trick is to interpret the lyrics so that you’d almost believe it was written for the new context. YES!!!!!!!!

Have to admit the song didn’t inspire me.
So how would YOU create it? You build a literary song video on paper first.
Now look at them yo-yo’s that’s the way you do it
You play the guitar on the MTV - Spock with his lyre
That ain’t workin’ that’s the way you do it
Money for nothin’ and your chicks for free - Kirk and Mudd’s woman
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 - McCoy with someone’s hand????
Maybe get a blister on your thumb
We gotta install microwave ovens - food synthesizer
Custom kitchen deliveries
We gotta move these refrigerators - All Our Yesterdays snow
We gotta move these color TV’s - viewer on the bridge?

Mark Knopfler is one of the greatest guitar players ever.

Those are pretty good.
On the other hand, you can add this music to just about anything, and completely change the scenario.

The stanza of lyrics expunged from the “modern” version of Money For Nothing:
See the little faggot with the earring and the make-up
Yeah buddy that’s his own hair
That little faggot got his own jet airplane
That little faggot he’s a millionaire
You’ll never hear those lines if the song is played or downloaded today.

The Ritual / Ancient Battle / 2nd Kroykah
Volume Two, Original Television Soundtrack, Star Trek
The Doomsday Machine and Amok Time.
And I thought you were going to send us to Leonard Nimoy singing!

Could have sent you to William Shatner singing.
Slightly off topic, if you saw the last few episodes of 'Fringe', Anna Torv channels Leonard Nimoy so perfectly it's hilarious.

Actually, if you download from iTunes you’ll get those lyrics. But if the song is played on the radio they’re completely deleted.

I was kidding :)
I think Weird Al did that tune enough parody justice in “UHF”.
