Weird Al Yankovic - Money For Nothing/Beverly Hillbillies (1989)

Beverly

Beverly Hillbillies

Huh, now lookie here people
Listen to my story
A little story 'bout a man named Jed
You know something?
That poor mountaineer
They say he barely kept his family fed

Now, let me tell you
One day he was shootin'
Old Jed was shootin' at some food
When all of a sudden right up from the ground, there
Well, there came a bubblin' crude

Oil that is Well, maybe you call it black gold or Texas tea
He gonna move next to Mr. Drysdale And be a Beverly hillbilly...

Mark Knopfler of Dire Straits had one condition to allow Yankovic to use the song as a parody, that he personally be allowed to play guitar.
