Making Nice Curtains is a 1986 song parodying Dire Straits' 1985 hit "Money For Nothing" and generally criticises the Yuppie culture of the 80s. The song title comes from a fake album cover seen in the video. During the video, there are scenes were cars perform tricks and stunts in a car park. The footage for this came from an advertisement for the Vauxhall car company around the time this episode was made. Higher performance versions of their Astra and Cavalier models (as shown in the video) were considered to be "Yuppie" vehicles.
