Dire Straits, "Money For Nothing"
Misheard Lyrics:
I want my ON-TV
Original Lyrics:
I want my MTV
ON-TV was a pay-per-view movie channel (kind of a precursor of HBO) that was in existence during the early and mid 80's. It actually went under at about the same time this song came out, making the misheard lyric seem appropriate.
