Weird Al Yankovic Money For Nothing, Beverly Hillbillies
Money for Nothing, Beverly Hillbillies is a song by Weird Al Yankovic. It is a cover of Money for Nothing by Dire Straits with the lyrics replaced by those of the The Beverly Hillbillies theme song. The music video, which appeared as part of Yankovic s film UHF, is a parody of the Money for Nothing music video. The song features Dire Straits members Mark Knopfler on guitar and Guy Fletcher on synthesizer, Knopfler s one condition for allowing the parody. Jim West, Yankovic s own guitarist, had then practiced the song for weeks, and, as a result of that and of Knopfler having played it for a couple of years and being much more relaxed with it, West s version sounded more like the original version.
