Dire Straits V Sting
Yes, I’m geeking out on the 80s here. But it was good times. A theory on SongMeanings.net suggests that Sting’s “Don’t stand so close to me” and “Money for Nothing” were closely linked.
Which rings true if you hum out the following lyrics in your head:
“I want my…I want my…I want my MTV”
&
“Don’t stand…Don’t stand…Don’t stand so close to me”
Phew. Now you know.
