Get the nothing upstairs mug.Song by the British rock band Dire Straits. Famous for it's groundbreaking (at the time) music video, which used 3D animation - the first ever in any music video.
The song is about the music industry, and specifically about MTV being an easy way for people to make money. It's been sugested that Mark Knopfler (lead singer of Dire Straits) was unhappy that people could become famous and rich just by having a music video on MTV. A number of words in the lyrics used have been inferred as being directed at artists of the time.
As for the references to 'having to shift these microwave ovens', this was to do with the fact that Knopfler got the inspiration for the lyrics while in an appliance store. The TVs in the store were showing MTV. The shop assistant was quoted as saying that 'that ain't working', which is later used in the song.
The song features one of the best guitar riffs of all time, and is easily one of the best songs of the 80's (it was released in 1985). The song also features a cameo from lead singer of The Police, Sting. Sting sang the words 'I want my MTV' to the melody of 'Don't stand so close to me' (by The Police), and it can be heard at the start and end of the song.
Rolling Stone magazine state it as being the 94th greatest rock song of all time, along with a number of other songs by Dire Straits. Dire Straits are recognized as one of the best rock bands of all time, notable for songs such as 'Sultans of Swing' and 'Brothers in Arms'.

Get the Nithila mug.A word from Norse lore referring to an exceptionally vile, despicable person - a person completely without honour. Examples include murderers and oathbreakers. NOTE: "Nithing" is NOT a misspelling of "nothing." It's a totally different word. It's more likely to be used by Heathens (neoPagan followers of the Norse Gods and Goddesses) than by other groups, but it has been seen elsewhere.
I don't know why those nithings expect anyone to fall for their lies anymore, we all know they couldn't tell the truth if their lives depended on it.
