Heres the Wiki on the song...

The observations of the character included references to a musician "banging on the bongos like a chimpanzee" and a description of a singer as "that little ###### with the earring and the make-up", and lamenting that the artists got "money for nothing and chicks for free". These lyrics were widely criticised as sexist, racist and homophobic statements, and in some later releases of the song the lyrics were edited for airplay; "######" for example is often replaced with "mother" (itself a shortened version of another potentially offensive phrase in this context).
When the song is included in rotation as part of a music feed played in stores or restaurants, "######" is usually turned backwards.[citation needed] The entire second verse was edited out for content and length for radio and video airplay, and on the 7" single. This edited version is included in the compilation albums Sultans of Swing: The Very Best of Dire Straits and Money for Nothing.
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.[4] ” Mötley CrüeNikki 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.[5] bassist
