excellent riff in a decent song, ruined by shit lyrics.

>>86404837
>caring about the lyrics
Top pleb. The way it sounds is all that matters.

>>86404880
it sounds like: FAGS EAT MICROWAVE OVENS AND KITCHENS THEY DELIVERAYAYAYAYAY MOVE THESE FRIDGES YOU CUNT

>>86404837
It's a great rock riff that exemplifies and distills rock to the very essence that the song is about pleb

>>86404837
>Not getting it

>>86404950
MICROWAVE OVENS!

>The lead character in "Money for Nothing" is a guy who works in the hardware department in a television/custom kitchen/refrigerator/microwave appliance store. He's singing the song. I wrote the song when I was actually in the store. I borrowed a bit of paper and started to write the song down in the store. I wanted to use a lot of the language that the real guy actually used when I heard him, because it was more real...

>>86404950
CUSTOM KITCHENS!

DELIVARAYYY

you reckon vidya gaems will ever have graphics like these?

>>86405027

Wtf is this Russia?

MICROWAVE OVENS
CUSTOM KITCHENS
REFRIGERATORS

>>86404771
Fad and away their most overrated song but it's still great

>>86404909
No, it sounds like a good singing voice.

We gotta move these refrigerators
We gotta move these color teeveeeeeeeeees

>>86405141
it might as well be RHCP lyrics

"right into the tum did a whoop doop whoopa. big bopper comin' for the swip swoop swoopa!"

>>86405066
>They omit this verse on just about every radio station now.

do we have confirmation that they wrote the song about Motley Crue or did Sixx just make that shit up to feel important?

>>86405199
Well their singer has an annoying voice, so it doesn't matter either way. Dire Straits has other songs with less retarded lyrics if you care to listen.

Literally anytime I say "that's the way you do it" I say it like Knopfler says it in this song.

Fun fact: this song was banned from radio play for a while in Canada because 1 woman complained that people could be offended by the use of the word faggot. Even though she wasn't offended.

BEVERLY...
BEVERLY HILLBILLIES...

>>86405303
What a fucking cunt. Didn't they make a radio edit of the song anyway though? My local radio stations only play the edit that cuts out that verse.

The guys who made the music video formed a studio afterwards that later made ReBoot and all those shitty CGI Barbie movies

>>86405378
There is a single and album version of the song. The album version has that verse and a longer instrumental section.

>>86404837
It's almost like there's another meaning behind those lyrics...

ITT shit songs only held by on their music video or one line of lyrics?

>>86405066
>>86405091
>>86405119

>And he's up there, what's that?
>Hawaiian noises?
>Bangin' on the bongos like a chimpanzee

Was Mark Knopfler, dare I say it, /ourguy/?

>>86405479
Then wouldn't most radio stations back in the day have played the single version? As far as I understand they mostly played singles and still do today.

>>86405558
>>86405565
Knopfler wrote the song after a conversation he overheard at an appliance store. The manager or somebody was there and there was a tv playing some music video and he was remarking about the musicians in the video while simultaneously talking to his employees, hence "we got to move these refrigerators, we gotta move these color tvs."

We must further examine the prophecies of Knopflerdamus to see what else he got right.

They don't give a damn about any trumpet playin' band
It ain't what they call rock and roll

I'm more of a Sultans of Swing kind of guy.

So Far Away From Me is auditory /comfy/kino

Dire Straits was fucking shit. Mark Knopfler couldn't sing for ass, and their melodies and lyrics were mediocre.

@86405903
(you)

>>86405872
Agreed, that and Rome and Juliet. However, I just love Sultans of Swing a lot. Just such a good fucking song to ride my motorcycle with.

Haters gonna hate, faggot. Go listen to Sultans and tell me with a straight face they're shit. You'd be lying.

Fuck the Dire Straits are my dad's favourite band and I haven't listened to them for ages, thanks for the thread OP.

>>86404771
looks like they were infected by the computer virus. we need a human virus to infect the computer virus.

Dire Straits are pretty meh. Nothing terribly deep about their music or anything.

Go listen to Steely Dan or something.

>>86405964
Knopfler has a solo career. Still sells out arenas. The others don't really do much
>>86406253
stop giving him (You)s you fucking nigger, it's a difference of opinion. Anyone with any knowledge of musical theory knows he's wrong

>>86406253
>implying Sultans of Swing isn't boring as FUCK
>implying Mark Knopfler's pathetic "singing voice" isn't the perfect cure for insomnia
>implying they possess anything more than a basic technique easily perfected within six months of starting one's chosen instrument

Fucking YAWN.

>>86406434
Shit, I don't have any knowledge of music theory. I just like some Dire Straits songs. It has nothing to do with your knowledge of music. It never did. You either like it or you don't.

Here's some deep Straits for you Based anons.

>>86406510
of course you're 100% right, but saying things like "their melodies... ...are mediocre" is objectively untrue when they display a great deal of complexity and technical knowledge for mainstream rock music, especially in the context of the time when new wave was driving rock music into extremely simplistic territory
Dire Straits are great, dude's just baiting for (You)s so stop giving him them and listen to some of this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fU4Jb8ysEws
