The Special Request of Mark Knopfler
Mark Knopfler, the lead singer, and guitarist for Dire Straits, granted Yankovic permission to parody the song. However, only Knopfler himself performs the guitar line on the track.
Furthermore, Yankovic’s song was forced to release his parody as Money for Nothing/Beverly Hillbillies. The singer has been very open about his displeasure with the released title.
We had to name that song Money for Nothing — slash — Beverly Hillbillies — asterisk because the lawyers said that was the only name that could be used.

Making A Request Before Making Fun of Them
Weird Al Yankovic reigns supreme in the world of musical comedy. Tenacious D, The Lonely Island, and Garfunkel and Oates have all achieved fame by combining music and humor in the decades since the singer’s breakout hit My Bologna. On the other hand, Yankovic is unique in that roughly half of his music catalog is parodies. On one occasion, the original artist insisted on participating in his parody version.
According to fair-use laws, Yankovic is not required to obtain the original artists’ rights before creating his parodies. However, since the start of his career, the singer has personally requested permission. In most cases, the artists are delighted to give Yankovic their approval. After all, for music stars, a Weird Al parody has become a rite of passage.
