This song is all about the age of new technology. According to Wikipedia, the song is written from the view point of two working class men that are commenting on what they see in the music videos they’re watching. They’re basically saying that the singers and people on MTV don’t have to work very hard compared to what they do (install appliances). They make fun of the MTV people and specifically one guy, saying he’s a millionaire and wearing ear rings/ makeup. The song talks about installing microwave ovens, custom kitchen deliveries, refrigerators, cameras, and color TVs. Household appliances that weren’t readily available to regular working people are now affordable and common among most citizens. In the older days, people used to watch videos on MTV all day because that’s all that was on that channel. Instead of videos all day now there are shows and movies.
