Lyrics:
You get a shiver in the dark
It’s raining in the park but meantime
South of the river you stop and you hold everything
A band is blowing Dixie double four time
You feel all right when you hear that music ring
You step inside but you don’t see too many faces
Coming in out of the rain to hear the jazz go down
Too much competition too many other places
But not too many horns can make that sound
Way on downsouth way on downsouth London town
You check out Guitar George he knows all the chords
Mind he’s strictly rhythm he doesn’t want to make it cry or sing
And an old guitar is all he can afford
When he gets up under the lights to play his thing
And Harry doesn’t mind if he doesn’t make the scene
He’s got a daytime job he’s doing alright
He can play honky tonk just like anything
Saving it up for Friday night
With the Sultans with the Sultans of Swing
And a crowd of young boys they’re fooling around in the corner
Drunk and dressed in their best brown baggies and their platform soles
They don’t give a damn about any trumpet playing band
It ain’t what they call rock and roll
And the Sultans played Creole
And then the man he steps right up to the microphone
And says at last just as the time bell rings
‘Thank you goodnight now it’s time to go home’
and he makes it fast with one more thing
‘We are the Sultans of Swing'

It was November 18, 1978, my birthday, and I thought I would give myself a gift. I went into a record store looking for something country-type, the manager told me that they didn't have anything like that, while I was looking for something that caught my attention, They played Sultans of Swing by Dire Straits, immediately upon hearing it I said to myself, “I want it”, I love it, from that day to date I have followed and bought everything that Mark Knopfler has done, his way of playing the guitar fascinates me, his style is immediately recognizable, it is unique.

For years I've been complaining how radio stations keep cutting of the last solo on this track so I never get to hear the best part of this absolutely brilliant track - and now I find out DireStraitsVEVO does the same?! WTF? This track is missing the final (and best) minute - why on earth would you cut that off? The song was too awesome intact?

[@koengerts]

Because the videos are not uploaded with the enjoyment of listeners in mind. Pretty stupid.

[@CalleSoderberg]

Yeah, but still. It would've required extra effort to create this incomplete and inferior version. Why go to the trouble?

How the hell did he write this song? Pure genius. Everything about this song is just perfect - vocal, lyrics, composition, recording, guitar & bass, drums, chord progression and even the title of the song "Sultans of Swing".

[@Yeshuah757]

He walked into a dive bar in England, heard a band called the Sultans of Swing. Made an awesome song of it.

[@MarkLada]

​@Yeshuah757 He couldn't believe the audacity of the jazz band.. They were playing in a dive bar to an audience of 4 people.. I believe his exact words were something like "nobody playing in that band that night was a Sultan of anything let alone swing.." So the greatest rock and roll song ever written is basically making fun of a crappie dive bar jazz band with an ego complex..

[@Bonjevalien]

I like the “quotations” he plays that kinda match the story ifya get me

[@ushbay]

There is a difference between being able to play an instrument, and being able to make it instrument sing. Mark is one of the few that can bring out their voice.

I'm 50 now. I've been hearing this song since I was a little kid. I didn't realize for so many years that this song is a masterpiece. The guitar work is amazing and flawless. The vocal sound from Mark fits perfectly with the mood the instruments create. Having a band that tight behind the lead guitar work of Mark, makes it perfection. There's no repetitions in the song. It's a complete story from the start to the end.

I'm listening to this art for 40 years and IT still gives me a shiver- not just in the dark- THANK YOU MARK - ❤

Direr Straits. We've all been there!! ❤

Simplesmente fantástica.❤❤❤

[@JamesMyers-wn3ch]

Best ever guitar solo. Get mad when the radio cuts it off

[@StarreLabell]

One of the best guitar songs.

[@trashpanda314]

Mark Knopfler is a criminally underrated guitarist, musician, and virtuoso. That solo is top 5 all time in my opinion.

[@Djmasterchef643]

I agree with you man🤟🤟🤟 and he’s my favourite artist too!

[@polymodal259]

Shame they fade it out in this video!

[@riadhossain8649]

he do not like fame at all. he is a monk of music

[@obody-sl9np]

Dude, the whole song is a solo. It's in the top 3 man

[@guywilletts2804]

Not sure he's underrated. Isn't he acknowledged as a virtuoso?

[@CRYOUTpodcast]

This song is timeless. For 40 years I’ve heard DS and it still sounds brand new every time. As a musician, I can recognize the god status of these musicians. I think I’ll listen one more time. Other-worldly.

I can't get over how great of a guitar player Mark Knopfler is, it's second nature to him, like the guitar is a part of his body. Incredible to witness.

[@johnnolan4535]

I can't get over how these assholes cut off the guitar at the end of the song what the f***

The writing, the playing and the singing. Just incredible at which level the man does all three!

I don't know why but Mark's voice resembles Chris Martin's for me, first time listening Sultans of Swing I tought it was him lmao

You can tell just how good a guitarist he is, he makes it look so clean and effortless and deceptively easy.

I'd like to have the words to make a description for this music,but is impossible. The rhythms of guitars is so harmonic.And I love so much how this song can make me feel cheerful.

[@alquemik]

Exactly what I feel about this song! Today it came to my mind and wouldn't go away so I started singing it and it made my freaking day. I even got shivers on my spine just from humming the guitar solo :)

Mark Knopfler - one of the greatest guitarists of all time!!! Incredible

[@markbosnick8006]

I agree. What astonishes me is how he was underrated as a player. This guy had it all and I will always consider him a genius. His talent is so unique and to me, no one can convince me that he’s not one of the best to ever play a guitar.

[@Srpski_inat1984]

he has music sense and those big stage balls y'know

[@AndrewNutley-lf9uy]

Not one of the greatest. THE GREATEST!

It is not easy to have such great music now.

[@SENBARROW]

To anyone who is remembering their dad listening to this tune......much love!! Here’s to awesome dads!! Earliest childhood memories include hearing this song. Am a grown man these days but miss my father every day - we played this song at his funeral. I take so much comfort in reading comments & remembering good times & knowing there’s others out there who have the same feelings for this song & for their father. Peace out & love to all. 🙏

[@MrBlaktoe]

I was just saying to someone how I didn't think Dire Straits got the recognition they really deserved, but you can't deny the guitar chops of Mark Knopfler. Truly one of the greatest guitarists in the history of Rock, and he's really showing us why.

[@nancydelu4061]

Not the greatest guitarist by far, BUT ONE OF THE MOST CREATIVE REALLY GOOD GUITARIST.

[@dmitryowens]

As a hard rock/metal guitarist of 38 years, I can truly say that this song has some of greatest lead guitar work of all time. So smooth, melodic, soulful and expressive - it's just perfect, especially the second solo.
