Honestly this might be the greatest opening guitar riff ever. It’s so incredibly catchy and fun.

@michaellueneburg2261 Год назад

I agree completely. I've loved it since the first time I heard it. After learning to play the guitar myself and then learning to play this song, I realized how different that riff actually is! It's all the notes and moments that he doesn't play, when any 'normal' guitar player naturally wants to hit the strings that makes the riff as amazing as it is! Great comment!

@petervenkman69 8 месяцев назад

The song was not written by Sting, but he was given a writing credit because Mark Knopfler used a very small portion of melody from "Don't Stand So Close To Me" (The "I want my MTV part") - the reason why was a joke. You see the police did a promo for MTV where they said "I want my MTV" - so getting Sting to sing it to his own melody was funny. It was also a fortunate accident, Dire Straits were recording the record in Monserrat and Mark said "It would be really great if we could get Sting to sing on this" and apparently some surfers that were there said, oh he's on holiday here just down the beach.

@eknapp49 Год назад

A fun item. When Weird Al wanted to do a parody of this song, he asked Mark Knopfler for permission. He always does that even though he doesn’t have to legally. Mark Knopfler said yes as long as he could play on the song.

You got it in one sentence: "It just makes you want to dance." Lol. From someone who was young at the time this was played in clubs, that's exactly what this song is about. We didn't exactly analyze the lyrics, we just hurled ourselves at the dance floor and randomly sang/yelled the words we understood while flailing around and enjoying adult beverages. It brings back fond memories and I'll still crank it up if I hear it, but it's not necessarily on any of my playlists these days. 🤣

You can dance and sing along to many Dire Straits songs pretty much immediately, and can later appreciate the incredible instrumentation and unique sound the band produced.

@remmymafia3889 3 месяца назад

Beth? This song was poking fun at the then just beginning of the MTV station ('80), where everything was about getting professionally done video, to go with a hopeful hit song in the regular MTV rotation. Knopler is an incredible guitarist, who is a true student of the instrument, and as such he knows there's so many minimally talented guitarists in groups that hit it big. He's done work with all genres of music-jazz, country etc.

Great reaction and analysis. I've always found Mark Knopfler's vocal style to be really compelling. It may not be very technical, but it definitely lends itself to storytelling and that was always the point of their songs. Not to mention that he's a brilliant songwriter and one of the greatest guitarists of all time. Incidentally, Sting got a writing credit on this one because the melody of the "I want my MTV" part that he sang was borrowed from the Police song, Don't Stand So Close to Me.

And yes, the Sting work (he got a writing credit) came when he was hanging out with Dire Straits in Monserrat where they were recording it.

There's a story behind the phrase "I want my MTV". It was the catchphrase of the MTV marketingstrategy. When they started, MTV was only offered on local cable networks, but not nationwide. So, they came up with this catchphrase, got celebrities to advertise it, and they got viewers to call their cable networks and tell them "I want my MTV". This strategy worked, elevating MTV to a national entity and later a global entity.

When I first heard this as a kid, I was growing up in a blue collar town where a lot of people who discounted the value of a music education, but I was in my school marching band, playing drums, and I knew how tough making music was. I knew that I wasn't good, but I knew enough to know what good musicianship sounds like. What I love about this song is that the narrator of the song is written from the perspective of the dismissive people I knew existed, and you talking about Knopfler's vocals makes sense - it's supposed to sound common and uneducated. The lyrics explain how "easy" it is to make music and become famous, while Knopfler's guitar tells an entirely different story. The "I Want My MTV" part was sung by Sting on the original album recording, and is sung in the same cadence and note pattern as "Don't Stand So Close To Me" - which had already been a big hit on MTV at the time. Great song... thanks for looking into it! From that same era, you should consider checking out some Genesis - I'd suggest giving "Turn It On Again" a listen. The miracle that is taking a song in 13/4 and making it an iconic pop song groove is something to behold.

While this live version is fun, it is way different than the studio version. It's loose and improvised and elements are missing. But Mark Knopfler is indeed a genius composing and performing and his guitar playing can be hauntingly mesmerizing. As others have mentioned, he wrote the score for a major motion picture called "Local Hero", set in Northern Scotland. His main theme for the movie is incredibly beautiful, and he used old Scottish folk melodies and styles as inspiration. It is only instrumental, but you really must listen to it, even if it's not for your reaction videos: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6pR1cVgk7Is.html (Going Home-Wild Theme- from "Local Hero " motion picture- Mark Knopfler) This video has incredibly wonderful still shots of Northern Scotland married to the poignant and moving music.

He's actually singing in the voice of a character in this song: someone who is distinctly not him, and who I think he views as being thick and crude. I could be wrong, but the dopiness of his voice is put on a little here to fit that character. In other songs, he actually sings (as opposed to this pitched speaking), and has a less dopey, though still a somewhat broad, if idiosyncratic, northern accent.

@coinneachmaclellan3121 Год назад

I think that his commentary style of singing is particularly effective in that it contrasts with the enjoyable quality of the music so that you're much more aware of the content of the lyrics and that while you're enjoying the song you're being made aware of the dark side of the music industry that has enabled you to be a 'consumer' of the music experience in the first place.
