This was my Dad's favorite song by his favorite band. I remember him tapping his feet to the tune and just getting really happy anytime it came on. This song holds a special place in my heart because of that. Thanks for reacting to it!

@marctoad Год назад

For kids of a certain age, this has to be the most Dad song of all time. I mean this in the most positive way.

@georgemcnair3647 Год назад

This was one of my granny's favorite songs...she jumped on the rock and roll bandwagon really early, much to my grandpa's horror. I remember my grandpa had recently died about this time and this was one of the songs that brought her out of her (justifiable) depression at that point.

@RyanHeafner Год назад

@stephensmith3111 Год назад

Your Dad has (had? condolences if so) excellent taste. Dire Straits is widely recognized for Mark Knopfler's top tier guitar playing and their drumming/rhythm section and rightly so . But give some love for the trebly (Farfisia?) organ and the more subtle lower opening riff (Hammond organ?) that lays down the firm foundation. =//=OldDudesStillRock

@notdoneyet7785 Год назад

Telegraph Road and. Romeo & juliet are both masterpieces. Way more than just pop or rock, poetry and history and anguish and love with great melodies and playing of course.

Live at The Alchemy probably the best live performance of i have ever seen definitely needs to be seen by you and anyone else as a matter of fact

@JRoss707 Год назад

Dire Straights was kind of the definition of a blue collar working band. They were truly a working class English band dedicated mainly to the club circuit and small venues throughout much of their career. They didn’t hit it big until fairly late in their existence, and then they blew up meteorically, reaching heights of some of the biggest acts in U.K. music history. But they didn’t seem to let their meteoric fame go to their heads which is what I really admired about them.

@ernestallison9880 Год назад

For me, watching the sports clips and listening to the verses, it was just persevering through all our little bumps and falls we go through our life but through dedication and work, we find a way to succeed and get by. In the end, it's just the walk through life that we all deal with. There are a lot of great Dire Straits songs to listen to though. Some have been mentioned but I like "Lady Writer" "Ride Across the River" "Why Worry" "Your Latest Trick"(live version) "Industrial Disease" and "Down to the Waterline"

@huwjennings2695 Год назад

"Single-handed Sailor' has always been a favourite, "Wild West End," "Communique," "On Every Street," "My Parties", etc.

@brettkenschaft4239 Год назад

Romeo and Juliet!!

Not just with Dire Straits, Mark Knoffler played on Jimmy Nails "Big River" & also you should also hear him do the Last Post for Soldiers.

@paulg123 Год назад

I used this CD to show off my stereo system to everyone. Recorded completely digitally, which at the time for a Pop/Rock album was rare, it's still one of the best recordings I've ever heard. The entire album is a classic, with a wide range of sounds and themes. It's hard to explain, but hearing the sound quality of this disc in 1985 was truly breathtaking.

@jasonfirewalker3595 Год назад

Brothers in Arms was a really great album. I remember being blown away at how crisp and clear that recording was. I used to fall asleep to it in my giant 1970's style headphones and wake up with my ears on fire.

@paulg123 Год назад

@@jasonfirewalker3595 Understandable! Now considering I am a real fan of vinyl, and I prefer the warmer, more natural sound of vinyl, I can always appreciate a truly amazing digital recording. I too wore out my headphones, not only on Brothers in Arms, but also on Donald Fagen's 'The Nightfly'.

Mark Knopfler made a a record with Emmy Lou Harris in 2006 entitled All the Roadrunning that is very good. Must listens from that record: Love and Happiness and All the Roadrunning. Both songs showcase these artist's voices perfectly and how well they are together. I will NEVER forget when Dire Straits stormed onto the scene in 1977, the voice and his guitar was so different than anything out there at the time....the sound was an instant addiction! Thank you DS for the 6 studio albums you left us. Great reaction guys, TY.

"Sailing to Philadelphia" is a great little song, full of spirit and hope, and if you catch "evening with Mark Knopfler" version, you'll get a bit of a feel for his personality, and how he just became even better as a musician as he aged.

@angelskunk2206 Год назад

This has always been such a “feel good” song for me and all of the old sports bloopers make me giggle every time 😆 Another video that’s fun to watch is Paul Simon’s Me and Julio Down By The Schoolyard. It has several stars in it including Big Daddy Kane, Biz Markie, John Madden & Mickie Mantle. I hope you guys will check it out sometime.

I was recently listening to this song for memory sake. About 2/3 in I started crying my heart because this is one of hundreds of songs that my mom and my grandfather would play on their radios for me when I was a kid. This song is so beautiful that it will put you in such a good mood, make you want to dance, and if you’re as soft as I am it will send you to tears. Time flies by so fast

So much better than the one in their original reaction which wasn't even the whole song. And for future reference, any reaction of a Dire Straits song that they played in that concert, that will be the prime version to react to. The entire concert is epic.

@unclebobunclebob Год назад

Mark Knopfler wrote this song to celebrate the street buskers of London, hence the references to "Be-Bop-a-Lula" and "What'd I Say," two standards that might be part of a singer's repertoire in the mid-'80s. The music video shown in America took a different approach: it showed sports bloopers. Stephen R. Johnson, a recent graduate of USC Film School, was the director. It was Mark Knopfler's idea to put sports in it, which was intercut with live footage.

The song's about a busker in a subway. If you want to listen to more Dire Straits, I'd recommend "Romeo and Juliet", "Tunnel of Love", and "Telegraph Road", an for some of their earlier, darker stuff, "Six Blade Knife", "News", and "Where Do You Think You're Going". Since the band broken up, the lead singer/guitarist/songwriter Mark Knopfler has carried on as a solo artist - of his solo songs, I'd suggest "Baloney Again", "Song for Sony Liston", "I Dug Up a Diamond" (with Emmylou Harris), "Haul Away", "Don't Forget Your Hat", "Radio City Serenade", and "Dream of the Drowned Submariner".

The song is about a busker. "Here comes Johnny singing oldies, goldies, "Bee Bop a lula" "Baby What I Say"" Funnily enough, although this is the most popular version of the video, it's not the original. The original features a busker in a subway in the UK, "down in the tunnel try'na make it pay". Apparently Mark Knopfler spotted a young busker in a subway in London, facing the wall trying to get some reverb on his guitar. The original cover for the single has that image on it.

It’s about a musician busking in the street trying to find a path to fame and fortune. He’s out there doing the things, putting in the work, doing the walk of life. He’s got that hustle. “Here comes Johnny singing oldies, goldies, be-bop-alula baby, “What’d I Say?” Here comes Johnny singing “I Got A Woman,” down in the tunnel trynna make it pay. He got the action, he got the motion, oh yeah, the boy can play. Dedication, devotion, turning all the nighttime into the day. He do the song about the good lovin’ woman, he do the song about the knife. He do the walk, the walk of life, yeah he do the walk of life.

@eznix Год назад

The song is about a street musician trying to earn a living playing for money on the streets. Some marketing exec thought it would be fun to insert all the sports clips for the American market since we obviously can't understand a song about real life for a street musician. The original British video actually tells the story of the song.

@petervenkman69 Год назад

The song was largely about a guy singing songs in the London Underground (subway) and it made lots of references to classic songs that he would sing. While this is the most famous video for the song, this one was made more for the American market (you will notice that the sports were American sports, while this is a UK based band), the original video which is hard to find is more literal to the song and shows someone playing music in the London Underground.

@SG-js2qn Год назад

A common theme in songs by Dire Straits is looking back with nostalgia ... in this case romanticizing the music of 50s-60s era, and earlier. As wiki says... The singer mentioned in the lyrics, "Johnny," is said to perform "down in the tunnels, trying to make it pay," a reference to busking in the subway. The songs he plays are oldies, including "I Got a Woman," "Be-Bop-A-Lula," "What'd I Say," "My Sweet Lovin' Woman," and "Mack the Knife." He also plays talking blues.
