You rock dude. Thanks for the uncensored version, unlike other sissies who pussed out.

[@Otherrandomguy42]

Not sure how today's snowflakes that get offended over EVERYTHING would have survived the 70s and 80s.

[@FOGTOWNREC]

I’m 25 raised in this type of music they don’t make songs like they use to

Much respect for the ones who bring they're music to this time

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.

[@frasergray20]

in my opinion the opening solo is the greatest solo ever

[@Otherrandomguy42]

Best guitar riff in history for a song about microwave ovens. 😂😂

[@matthewfinger2381]

That guitar solo is one of the most epic things ever

[@doctordrakes]

[@Breddouson]

Waltuh...

[@user-uu4dv1zo5i]

SOMEONE TOLD ME ONE TIME THAT GUITAR RIFT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO PLAY AND TAKES A LOT OF SKILL .

[@GlogkYT]

Yeah awesome!, the way it's supposed to be!!.the original version.till, fucking liberals🖕🖕 started censorship everything!!.

[@TheWillvis]

I just heard it on the radio in the car I was like what. Wait till the cancel culture here's that

[@lehibounormand5197]

The original version is perfect, the censored version is too short, they cut 3/4 of this incredible guitar solo.

[@finlaymoulton8818]

One the most legendary guitar solos of all time

[@user-vy5ye5tb7f]

Your smoking crack🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@chemicalspore]

I have this album on Vinyl from 1988. Still sounds great

Great classic of the 80s. Sounds as good now as back in the day.

[@Sercicilio]

respect for your full version Marco! You sent me back to 80s. Thank you!

[@caraliny]

Guitar is classic, but also have to give credit to the drums- Amazing!!

[@night_crawler16-gg9xl]

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!😢😢

[@AHumanClay]

I've never paid attetion to the lyrics before, unless I started listenning and paying attention to the lyrics now. Excellent!

[@carlcr4425]

what are they about?

[@chris_note]

@@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.

[@Goon_Lagoon69420]

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

[@chris_note]

@oranggjooice8983 It was probably just a remark for how they felt about the guys getting paid to do what they like.

[@user-el8zv9hx6r]

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 KZbin 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. KZbin sucks

[@hannamaniacrailproductions5082]

Mark does such a good job with guitar solo's I love these songs!

[@Cursed_Helmet]

That intro guitar riff is kicking asss

[@jtrobbins67]

Solo on Sultans of swing is better!

[@cantorcarl]

Applause for not expurgating the lyrics.

[@roxieloot]

Amazing song. How times have changed and not for the better.

[@valerietrujillo4469]

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

[@vassilikibaizani1938]

Big chuck best version ever! Bravo!!!

[@jcubbies1903]

Always loved the guitar Intro

[@rosecorrea4335]

Imprecionante como essa música e esse solo de guitarra balança o corpo da gente pessoal 😂😂 só saudades 😊

[@Al-kb2xl]

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!

[@yerzhankurmanbay]

I only recently learned that second singer was Sting

[@Kepler170]

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.

[@portalguy2246]

@@yerzhankurmanbay damn it actually is him? I always thought he sounded like sting, but didn’t think that it was actually him

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.

[@crzjohn4275]

that guitar intro is why i learned to play. i had to make one do that.. i came close, the man's a master

[@TheRealYTIAN]

Yeah, the intro with Sting´s "I want my MTV".

[@UnwrittenSpade]

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
