I had never realize the lyrics there until about a month ago when I listened to it again. Maybe they bleeped it out when I listened as a kid. I half expected to see tons of hateful comments about it... so far nothing, but maybe they're blocked. Not sure. Not in agreement with the word used, nor condoning it. Just a bit shocked that was originally there, and hey, for keeping to the original lyrics it's bold for sure. Almost kinda inspires hope that not everyone in the world is overly offended at word usage.

Leo, I didn't expect you to leave the second verse as-is for obvious reasons, but you did, and I respect you for doing so.

This is totally going on my new riding music playlist... First song

[@TractorsChemer]

Nice.

[@shannongodbey7420]

This is brilliant! Thank you. 🤘 Another masterpiece

[@maeveevans362]

one of my fav songs! lol I love how he is one of the only ones who parody's my fav songs!

[@dioxfile42]

You are Army of a man only...Amazing....

[@ImRarelySerious]

I like the way you pronounce "refrigerator"

[@itfemail]

lol "refigiaters"

[@LaffeeTaffeeGG]

I forget this guy speaks completely broken Scandinavian english. He's got a legit American accent when he sings, then you watch his vlogs and he stares at the camera like ".... I dun know what the word is in English."

[@geoffxander7970]

He does a fantastic job covering songs in english.

[@ColKorn1965]

My grandmother said "fridgadator".

[@MsDawnKeyballs]

Seriously this dude's so good I even know his cheeky little outro songs where he's telling you to buy his songs online. and I sing every one of them proudly and I know exactly which one goes to which song

[@Mabels_Horizon]

I definitely need that coffee mug 😂👌🏻

[@NativeNewMexican]

Definitely defiantly.

[@Mabels_Horizon]

NativeNewMexican thanks, my phone autocorrected it that way for some reason 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@DENicholsAutoBravado]

@@Mabels_Horizon I've had some rad autocorrects lately like gastro becoming instantly gastrointestinologist.

[@mizzerychick1730]

There's one word in this song that triggers me. No, it isn't THAT word. It's 'refrig-ee-ator'. Jk, I dig the shit out of this. It's killer.

[@robertalopez4746]

Agreed

[@rogergoss6693]

every time...

[@BJMauck]

😂😂😂

[@jasonflynn4996]

I was dying when I heard that, lol

[@mender4253]

I think it was done that way because to sing the word might not have sounded . good . and popped poorly . just my thoughts

[@indigo771]

As a teen in the MTV era this hits all the notes and then some...this song saturated MTV in the 80s they played it every 2 hours, like clockwork. Classic and Leo shreds it all and smashes it together into a metal-plated banger....

[@ALong-fo5so]

I like it. I don’t usually enjoy covers of this song. Reminds me of Knopfler too much. But this, this was good. Nice touch

[@genxlibertarian9656]

Thank you so much, brother. I grew up listening to Dire Straits, i was singing this shit at 5 yrs old. Also, thank you for not pussing out on the lyrics. Knoffler was quoted not too long ago saying it was meant to be satirical, not hateful. Righteous cover, man!

[@DShiflet01]

Knopfler also said he regrets ever choosing the word, and omits it himself from live performances.

[@bhg70]

@@DShiflet01 He "regrets" the controversy and that people don't understand how it was being used, and that he has to omit it in order to avoid hurting anyone's feelings. He doesn't regret being satirical of the attitudes of people who think making a living at music is easy.

[@DShiflet01]

@@bhg70 Literally NOBODY said he regrets "being satirical about people thinking making a living at music is easy" so that's nice, but...irrelevant? He DID say he regrets using that word, that he didn't think about what it meant, and that if he had it to do over he would not have used it.

[@bhg70]

Geez, dude, relax. I wasn't saying you (or anyone else) had said that. I simply added it as my own comment on what he wasn't regretting vs. what he was. Obviously I've read different interviews than you. Cheers.

[@christophersundblad2162]

I don't know why but this guy just showed up in my feed. How have I not heard of this guy. So awesome!!! He's my new favorite band... Even though it's not new and he's not really a band. Keep jammin!

So I'm not the only one who finds guitar picks in the fridge

[@thekrautist]

Where am I supposed to NOT find any?

[@GummiMe]

Well the fridge eats everything, I usually find my camera or phone in there too xD

[@serpentinesecrets6771]

I've metal guitar picks that I hope don't find their way into my microwave

[@Avram42]

Wait, how else do you not ensure they burst into flames when you shred?

[@Fedaykin8]

Everywhere, literally everywhere. Cats don't help either... ;)

[@johnatkins3368]

OMG!!! That breakdown, solo's, and another breakdown! WOW!

[@hk47meatbag16]

Damn this is bad ass. Love it. Subbed. Keep doing what your doing Leo.
