Le censuraron una canción a este pavo por meter la palabra faggot, creo recordar.
Controversy Dire Straits - "Money for Nothing"

The singer, or more properly the first-person narrating character, refers to a musician "banging on the bongos like a chimpanzee" and another female musician "stickin' in the camera" (adding that "we could have some fun"), describes a singer as "that little faggot with the earring and the make-up," and bemoans that these artists get "money for nothing and chicks for free." These lyrics were criticized as being sexist, racist, and homophobic, and in some later releases of the song the lyrics were edited for airplay; "faggot" for example is often replaced with "mother" (itself a shortened version of "motherfucker").
When the song is included in rotation as part of a music feed played in stores or restaurants, "faggot" is usually edited.[citation needed] The entire second verse was edited out, for shortened length and to remove objectionable content, for radio and video airplay. This edited version, as on the 7" vinyl single, is the one included in the compilation albums Sultans of Swing: The Very Best of Dire Straits and Money for Nothing and also the single disc version of the 2005 compilation The Best of Dire Straits & Mark Knopfler: Private Investigations. (However, in the U.S., the Warner Brothers 7" single did not edit out the offending word or verse. The double disc version of The Best of Dire Straits & Mark Knopfler: Private Investigations includes the full-length, studio version of the song found on the CD of Brothers In Arms).
In a late 1985 interview in Rolling Stone magazine, Knopfler expressed mixed feelings on the controversy:
I got an objection from the editor of a gay newspaper in London - he actually said it was below the belt. Apart from the fact that there are stupid gay people as well as stupid other people, it suggests that maybe you can't let it have so many meanings - you have to be direct. In fact, I'm still in two minds as to whether it's a good idea to write songs that aren't in the first person, to take on other characters. The singer in "Money for Nothing" is a real ignoramus, hard hat mentality - somebody who sees everything in financial terms. I mean, this guy has a grudging respect for rock stars. He sees it in terms of, well, that's not working and yet the guy's rich: that's a good scam. He isn't sneering.[4]
Dire Straits often performed the song in live concerts and when on tour, where the second verse was included but usually altered slightly. For the band's July 10 1985 concert (televised in the United Kingdom on The Tube on Channel 4 in January 1986[5]), Knopfler replaced the word "faggot" with "Queenie" (in this context also a term that implies homosexuality):
"See the little Queenie got the earring and the make-up" and "That little Queenie got his own jet airplane, he’s got a helicopter, he’s millionaire."
Mötley Crüe bassist Nikki Sixx, in an interview with Blender Magazine, claimed that the song is actually about his band's excessive lifestyle, and that he heard the clerks in the store were commenting on Mötley Crüe videos shown on the in-store television sets.[6]

Supression
In January 2011, the Canadian Broadcast Standards Council (CBSC) ruled that the unedited version of the song was unacceptable for air play on private Canadian radio stations, as it breached the Canadian Association of Broadcasters' (CAB) Code of Ethics and their Equitable Portrayal Code.[7][8] The CBSC concluded that "like other racially driven words in the English language, 'faggot' is one that, even if entirely or marginally acceptable in earlier days, is no longer so."[7] The CBSC's proceedings came in response to a radio listener's Ruling Request stemming from a playing of the song by CHOZ-FM in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, which in turn followed the radio listener's dissatisfaction with the radio station's reply to their complaint about a gay slur in the lyrics.[7][9] Not all stations abided by this ruling; at least two stations, CIRK-FM in Edmonton[10] and CFRQ-FM in Halifax,[11] played the unedited version of "Money for Nothing" repeatedly for one hour out of protest. The CBC-owned Galaxie also continues to play the song.[12][13] On January 21, 2011, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) asked the CBSC for a review on the ban, in response to the public outcry against the CBSC's actions (The CRTC reportedly received over 250 complaints erroneously sent to them, instead of the CBSC.); the regulator requested the CBSC to appoint a nationwide panel to review the case, as the decision on the ban was reviewed by a regional panel for the Maritimes and Newfoundland.[14]
Uncle Meat rebuznó:Dire Straits no inventan nada nuevo, la voz del calvo es de pena, gustan a catetos, algunos temas se estiran más de la cuenta y resultan un poco amorfos
Tankian rebuznó:Y esa es otra. Borra la puntuación del caimán de los cojones del disco del barbas, que no tiene criterio ninguno, y la del que le puso un siete y algo también. Y tú ya podrías haberlo votado, pedazo de mierda vieja.
Cannabis rebuznó:Serás cabrón! Claro, como el Boss no las estira y tiene un vozarrón que ni Juan Diego Florez
Uncle Meat rebuznó:Peazo disco, tú.
Desmond Humes rebuznó:Aún recuerdo el ruido de mis huevecillos cuando se cayeron al suelo escuchando por primera vez este disco.
Uncle Meat rebuznó:devolvieron el trono al rock en los pestosos años 80.
Tankian rebuznó:Y esa es otra. Borra la puntuación del caimán de los cojones del disco del barbas, que no tiene criterio ninguno, y la del que le puso un siete y algo también. Y tú ya podrías haberlo votado, pedazo de mierda vieja.
caracaiman< rebuznó:Pido por favor que no se tenga en cuenta el disco de la semana pasada, me niego a que un disco con una sola puntuación puesta a última hora esté al lado del mismísimo Beethoven.
Sabes que únicamente el tiroriroré se mea en la discografía de U2, viejo.Uncle Meat rebuznó:
