I’m 31, but my best friend was a bit older than me. This was her favorite song, many nights we spent drinking together pretending time didn’t exist. Id give anything for one more night in summer 2009.
Sultans o f swings, money or nothing and walk of life, these three songs of dire strait will be forever in my heart, as i remember my father usually tuning in in our local fm radio in my province in the Philippines every 4-6pm there is program of rocks song, and if this song was played he always shout at me and says turn it up the stereo and we both rock on! Thats nostalgia to me, i miss my father much now were separated i have my own family now, my mother and father they live together in our old home, we visits them every 3months, i hope they will live more longer!😢😢
@@carlcr4425 It's about two retail workers regretting their decisions and wishing to be rockstar on MTV, and the lead comments on the singers at parts of the song, while they complain about their jobs. It was actually based on a conversation one of the band members heard over 2 people.
the lyrics have the word "f ggot" in them. I had written this previously, and YT warned me that my comment was bullying and harassment, and deleted it. I guess it's all about that letter "a". So I can grow up with a mom who got in a lesbian relationship, and I got in fights, over and over, at times against multiple farm-boys, one time I was knocked unconscious and lost my front teeth... I loved her regardless of who she wanted to be in a relationship with... I stood up for a person's right to be in a homosexual relationship if they want to, and I did so at a time when it was NOT popular to do so... I, a straight person, stood up against an entire town of prejudicial people that felt the need to hurt people that were not straight, and I did so at the cost of actual physical harm, and at the cost being accepted by my peers, at a time when that acceptance is important... I can live my life as described, and someone who works at RUclips can JUDGE ME as someone that bullies and harrasses, THAT is what they call standing up for someone? You virtue-signalers are all poseurs. The lyrics are making fun of a meat-headed worker in a department store, who uses those words when speaking, ESPECIALLY when it hurts someone to hear it. RUclips sucks
And how much do you think dire straits get for all this?? Remember it was Prince George Michael Elton John who fought record labels no one has challenged MTV. That I know of. How many of us actually watch MTV or VH1. There is no music artists talent it's garbage
Wow, today I'm a week away from 38 years old and I finally learnt that this song is actually a conversation of an appliance store worker. The lyrics always confused me but I never bothered looking them up!
still here 1/2023...an I remember as clear as day when I heard this, the opening guitar solo blew my head off ...radio would have to edit the lyrics for today🤬 but I will always Love this song, the 80s had The Best❤🔥🔥
Todays PC culture sucks! I grew up, as I’m sure you did too, learning words have no power! My close friend in the military is gay and we def used the word fag but it wasn’t from a place of hate he never cared. We still talk and I asked him about it like did that bother you back then he was like hell no I ain’t some sissy. Hahaha
Check out the live song from Knebworth!! Unfortunately he sings the edited version but the music is incredible!! Mark Knoflel & Eric Clapton & a thrilled audience!!
Could you please extend further on that censorship issue? I'm intrigued since I am South American, I'm vaguely aware of these matters in your countries.
I recently heard that the writer of this song was in an appliance store when he overheard a delivery guy talking as he was looking at MTV on all the TVs lined up about how these guys (musicians) get money for nothing and that he (writer) actually got a pen and paper and leaned on microwaves as he wrote this-kool story.
You rock dude. Thanks for the uncensored version, unlike other sissies who pussed out.
Not sure how today's snowflakes that get offended over EVERYTHING would have survived the 70s and 80s.
Much respect for the ones who bring they're music to this time
Their
I’m 25 raised in this type of music they don’t make songs like they use to
Anyone in 2024
Hell yeah
❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Yep me
Yes yes !!! 👍🙂

드럼뒤에 오는 기타선율이 정말 멋진 곡 입니다. 축복이죠!!
Thank God!! A non-censored version !!!
Fuck correctly political
The artists' true vision, before the pinko thought police butchered it
Yeah awesome!, the way it's supposed to be!!.the original version.till, fucking liberals🖕🖕 started censorship everything!!.
I just heard it on the radio in the car I was like what. Wait till the cancel culture here's that
The original version is perfect, the censored version is too short, they cut 3/4 of this incredible guitar solo.
respect for your full version Marco! You sent me back to 80s. Thank you!
in my opinion the opening solo is the greatest solo ever
Best guitar riff in history for a song about microwave ovens. 😂😂

Great classic of the 80s. Sounds as good now as back in the day.
I have this album on Vinyl from 1988. Still sounds great
Wow 🤩
COOL BUT I HOPE THERE ARE NO SCRATCHES ON IT . THAT WOULD BE A TOTAL TRAGIC BUMMER - GREAT ALBUM !
1985
@@shannonlowe5602 got it in EIGHTY EIGHT
Mark does such a good job with guitar solo's I love these songs!
Guitar is classic, but also have to give credit to the drums- Amazing!!
One the most legendary guitar solos of all time
Your smoking crack🤣🤣🤣🤣
That guitar solo is one of the most epic things ever
💯
Waltuh...
SOMEONE TOLD ME ONE TIME THAT GUITAR RIFT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO PLAY AND TAKES A LOT OF SKILL .
@@user-uu4dv1zo5i Actually is!
Only Mark Knopfler can do it easy.A masterpiece .
I've never paid attetion to the lyrics before, unless I started listenning and paying attention to the lyrics now. Excellent!

@@chris_notedope, but what did the “f*ggot” had to do with the lyrics? Just asking.

That intro guitar riff is kicking asss
Solo on Sultans of swing is better!
Imprecionante como essa música e esse solo de guitarra balança o corpo da gente pessoal 😂😂 só saudades 😊
Always loved the guitar Intro
6:50 guitar solo ❤❤ splendid love Mark 🎉🎉
Amazing song. How times have changed and not for the better.
And how much do you think dire straits get for all this?? Remember it was Prince George Michael Elton John who fought record labels no one has challenged MTV. That I know of. How many of us actually watch MTV or VH1. There is no music artists talent it's garbage
Classic band with Scottish roots, awesome
.....and Jewish roots.

LOVE this song!!!!!!!!!!!! I loved MTV when it came out but by the mid-late 90s it began to get bad. VH1 was also good for a few years.
Boy these guys left impression on everyone forever.
Radio plays original all the time! Gotta love tx!
After 3 years learning English, finally I can say I understand this song 🎉😂❤
it’s a amazing song
that guitar intro is why i learned to play. i had to make one do that.. i came close, the man's a master
Wow, today I'm a week away from 38 years old and I finally learnt that this song is actually a conversation of an appliance store worker. The lyrics always confused me but I never bothered looking them up!
I only recently learned that second singer was Sting
thats half of it, the other half is about the rich literally not having to work a day in their life for their cash at all.
@@yerzhankurmanbay damn it actually is him? I always thought he sounded like sting, but didn’t think that it was actually him
@@portalguy2246 yes is him
Pay attention to the lyrics. Wtf? They’re there for a reason…
this song still kicks ass
Melhor legenda que já li, muito bem cronometrada.

Props Marco for not caving to political correctness. When this comes on the radio in Atlanta I turn it off because they censor it. You rock Bro!
Irony
