Awareness of self separates humans from animals: I think therefore I am. This song twists that idea into delicious satire. It's the monkey watching the man watching the monkey at the zoo. This is art imitating life.
Mark Knopfler wrote this one from the perspective of a blue-collar worker:
"...that ain't workin' that's the way you do it
You play the guitar on the MTV"
"Maybe get a blister on your little finger
Maybe get a blister on your thumb"
The lyrics were (1985 song) called out as being racist, sexist and homophobic. That falsetto "I want my MTV" is Sting. Superb guitar and drums by the Sultans of Swing.
