Dire Straits - The Bug (Official Music Video)

[@PedroAmaral16]

What a great song from an exceptional band! Too bad many people don't even know Dire Straits!

[@danielhutchinson7115]

Exceptional ????? MASSIVE SHIT KICKIN THUMP THE VERY UNDERSTATE SAVE WHEN THE WOGG IT BLOODY UP SOME.!!!!!

[@qwertyuiopanaza]

Who doesnt know them

[@atlucas1]

​@@qwertyuiopanaza Sure they peaked at different times but they're both famous British bands I think The Who would know them.

[@MIKECNW]

And what the hell makes you such an expert?

Who do you say?

This was posted on my dad's 80th birthday!!! I lost him in May of that year. He lived 80 yrs of being the bug/windshield - ball/Louisville Slugger more toward the 1st's than the second.....nobody would have ever know it from him or the amazing life he led! God Bless him.... a hard act to follow!!!

[@davidcurtis7547]

Good Son you are . I miss my dad as well . Cheers mate

[@J90JAM]

Is there any Dire Straits song that doesn't get you tapping your feet!? Love it!

[@blackpeter70]

Probably Brothers In Arms. Not really a toe-tapper. Good in Miami Vice, though.

[@jesseemullen]

Why Worry, Private Investigations, Hand In Hand, and On Every Street are more contemplative than toe tapping :)

[@blackpeter70]

@@jesseemullen Depends. If you've taken some kind of amphetamine, even Brian Eno will get you dancin'! 😵

Well, I knew Knopfler was a fan of Formula 1 and CART, but I wasn't expecting IROC and NASCAR footage in a Dire Straits video :) 🏁

[@jochenstein886]

Weiß bin jetzt 52 aber ne bessere Musik als dire straits nie gehört

[@newdamage5945]

I was a the age of these kids in this video when this album came out and my parents were huge Dire Straits/Knopfler fans so I literally grew up listening to their albums and my mom loved this tune. Two of the first albums I ever listened to were Brothers in Arms and On Every Street. Miss these days but glad I was raised on this music!!!!!!!!

[@noeyes6151]

My mum made, yes made, me watch totp when i was about 5 till about 8 after which i just watched it,she, said i was good for culture, years later, there's something in that👍

I am a fan of DS and MK for long time and I watched this video just now! We listened to this song/album in 90s while driving on the roads in Iran not knowing much about lyrics or meaning of the songs.

[@MartineR12]

this music is pure pure bliss.. damn, I wish I was born much earlier.. Greetings from Slovakia, love you

[@johnnynorrisjr.39]

Greetings from America, love you too :D

[@billwardlow6364]

I raced 'local' stock cars for a long time, and a long time ago. When my wife and I first heard this song, just after it was released, we just KNEW it was about racing about a minute in. It captures, for us, the real feel of being involved and racing on a Saturday night. The rhythym is perfect for driving a short track with the song playing in my head. I can never forget this piece of music. Thanks forever, Mark.

[@willschoenstein9650]

Mark is an Incredible Songwriter & Musician, Guys like Him don't come around very often 🎸😎✌️👍

[@00963ale]

Life described in a song!!

[@Geek37664]

I was 12 or 13 when I first heard the cover by Mary Chapin-Carpenter and it was a favorite of mine through my young life. I had been a Dire Straits fan since I was a kid because Brothers in Arms just set the world aflame. Sadly, On Every Street didn’t have that same impact. Fast forward to 2017 and I’m listening to the radio program Flashback (hosted by Matt Pinfield) and he plays “Calling Elvis” because it was the 40th anniversary of Elvis’s death. So, I pull up the album On Every Street and I came across The Bug and I never knew one of my favorite bands were originators of one of my favorite songs. I was happy to found this fact out as an adult, a nice surprise to say the least.

[@andyfrizz4143]

I love this song and all Dire Straits's song and then I think that the best will remain the best

[@Juan-xg4kr]

It is true that the first songs on the list and listened to are always others that we already know, but no, today I listened to it about 20 times in a row thinking, realizing that a great song came out, for me the first. No kidding, listening while I write, the worst? I don't want to hate her Sorry for my lousy english

[@denishelmerparedescruzado9392]

Used to dance this hit in the early 90s on summer time along with my friends. Great memories

[@Naux9418]

Well it's a strange old game - you learn it slow One step forward and it's back to go You're standing on the throttle You're standing on the brakes In the groove 'til you make a mistake Sometimes you're the windshield Sometimes you're the bug Sometimes it all comes together baby Sometimes you're a fool in love Sometimes you're the louisville slugger baby Sometimes you're the ball Sometimes it all comes together baby Sometimes you're going lose it all You gotta know happy - you gotta know glad Because you're gonna know lonely And you're gonna know bad When you're rippin' and a ridin' And you're coming on strong You start slippin' and slidin' And it all goes wrong because Sometimes you're the windshield Sometimes you're the bug Sometimes it all comes together baby Sometimes you're a fool in love Sometimes you're the louisville slugger baby Sometimes you're the ball Sometimes it all comes together baby Sometimes you're going lose it all One day you got the glory One day you got none One day you're a diamond And then you're a stone Everything can change in the blink of an eye So let the good times roll Before we say goodbye, because Sometimes you're the windshield Sometimes you're the bug Sometimes it all comes together baby Sometimes you're a fool in love Sometimes you're the louisville slugger baby Sometimes you're the ball Sometimes it all comes together baby Sometimes you're going lose it all

[@esmikelfive]

I was just learning how to play the way Mark plays fingerstlye and it reminded me a lot of this song. Sweet Mark's guitar picking, it's unique.

[@karensmith2502]

Be pretty hard to do copy. He was self taught.didn’t copy anyone himself. Purists cringe at his style but you can’t deny his greatness. Don’t copy anyone, develop your own unique style.

[@JCStorm76]

Should have been a hit

[@tinajaneoxnam.8866]

colemann76 . Yeah .

[@farmerned6]

everyone bought the Album back in 91 , less so the singles, which were mainly bought by tweens then, and Dire Straits were "old men" on a comeback by then

[@IndigoJo]

I think Mary Chapin Carpenter's version was a country hit. (I heard that before I heard this version and I like it a lot better! Paul Franklin is on both.)

[@barrettwbenton]

Even better than a "hit"…the entire album was amazing. Bought it just as it came out.

[@GabrielErnestoCabral]

It was MTV time, if they said you were old, that's it. Even with that, DS sold out the last tour.

[@billswinford1026]

An amazing honky tonk two step song! #roots

And Mary Chapin Carpenter nailed a country version of this song.

I can’t think of any other songs with a mix of organ, baritone sax, and pedal steel in existence, and hey if this is the only one then others might do well to follow suit. To top it off, the steel is played by none other than the great Paul Franklin!

A primeira vez que vi este clip foi em 1995 em um programa na tv a cabo (não foi MTV), pensei que fosse clip novo de um possível álbum recente, pois ainda não tinha escutado o álbum on every street inteiro, só em 1999 que eu tive o prazer de conhecer o VHS “The Vídeos” que um amigo tem até hj (Relíquia) aí então vi que foi gravado em 1991, top esse clip
