Here comes johnny singing oldies, goldies
Be-bop-a-lua, baby what I say
Here comes johnny singing I gotta woman
Down in the tunnels, trying to make it pay
He got the action, he got the motion
Yeah, the boy can play
Dedication devotion
Turning all the night time into the day

He do the song about the sweet lovin woman
He do the song about the knife
He do the walk, he do the walk of life

Here comes johnny and hell tell you the story
Hand me down mu walkin shoes
Here come johnny with the power and the glory
Backbeat the talkin blues
He got the action, he got the motion
Yeah, the boy can play
Dedication devotion
Turning all the night time into the day

He do the song about the sweet lovin woman
He do the song about the knife
He do the walk, he do the walk of life

Here comes johnny singing oldies, goldies
Be-bop-a-lula, baby what I say
Here comes johnny singing I gotta woman
Down in the tunnels, trying to make it pay
He got the action, he got the motion
Yeah the boy can play
Decidation devotion
Turning all the night time into the day

And after all the violence and double talk
Theres just a song in the trouble and the strife
You do the walk, you do the walk of life

Dire Straits - Sultans of Swing - Video Clip and Lyrics

 
Sultans of Swing was on the Dire Straits first album which appeared in 1978. The Sultans of Swing single was in second place in the Billboard chart.

This is a grate song also a grate song like the the Brother in Arms the Money for Nothing, Brother in Arms, Walk of Life etc.

I really like this band. Unfortunately they are not together but Mark Knopfler several times makes very good concerts around in the world.
They were very young when they make this album. Basically it was the first. The guitar solos is very, very good and the lyrics is light and close to me. My feeling is same like I’m in the seaside in a sunny afternoon. I like the rock and blues mixture. They were the first band who makes this kind of music. I think Chris Rea and Bruce Springsteen are followers of the Dire Straits and Mark Knopfler .

You get a shiver in the dark
Its been raining in the park but meantime
South of the river you stop and you hold everything
A band is blowing dixie double four time
You feel all right when you hear that music ring

You step inside but you dont see too many faces
Coming in out of the rain to hear the jazz go down
Too much competition too many other places
But not too many horns can make that sound
Way on down south way on down south London town

You check out guitar gorge he knows all the chords
Mind he’s strictly rhythm he doesn’t want to make it cry or sing
And an old guitar is all he can afford
When he gets up under the lights to play his thing

And Harry doesn’t mind if he doesn’t make the scene
He’s got a daytime job he’s doing alright
He can play honky tonk just like anything
Saving it up for Friday night
With the sultans with the sultans of swing

And a crowd of young boys they’re fooling around in the corner
Drunk and dressed in their best brown baggies and their platform soles
They dont give a damn about any trumpet playing band
It aint what they call rock and roll
And the sultans played creole

And then the man he steps right up to the microphone
And says at last just as the time bell rings
thank you goodnight now its time to go home
And he makes it fast with one more thing
we are the sultans of swing

Dire Straits - Money for Nothing - Video Clip and Lyrics

The Money for Nothing tile’s music is maybe the most ironic song which I heard in the last twenty year. It is appeared in the Brothers in Arms album and also in the same titles single album. It has sold more than 25 billion pieces. So , I think I should tell some word about this music and video before I’ll show you.

When I heard this music I think that nothing changed in the last several years. The Dire Straits gibe at the musicians who is not better or delicious like the others from the street. Basically I think they don’t want to see in the stage bands or people who is not musicians. Some producer or somebody else make a “band” who make a new music which is on the top of the charts but after one year nobody will remember of this music.

So, if I understand correctly Mark Knopfler’s words from 1984, I can accept the Dire Straits over view. If you see the Dire Straits biography or Mark Knopfler biography and how many disc sold and sell in the markets and compared for example with Bross. Who remember Bross kind of band. Maybe some people who had some good story from this years and that’s all.

Today when you drive you car and listen a radio I am sure you can hear Mark Knopfler or Dire Straits and close nobody form their competitor. Basically I remember lot of things about the 80’s but beside the Dire Straits I don’t remember too much things.

So, back to Money for Nothing it is a very good song and If you like the 80’s rock music you should listen it and If you have a young musician you should learn what this music tell you. If you want to make a good music, it must come from your heart. Don’t copy any other people either other band. You should be independent and unique.

The Money for Nothing video clip (which was at first in a small disc) were made for gibe at MTV channel. The slogan of the channel was the famous sentence of the song in a time: I want my MTV. This was son funny and ironic.

These mist covered mountains
Are a home now for me
But my home is the lowlands
And always will be
Some day youll return to
Your valleys and your farms
And youll no longer burn
To be brothers in arms

Through these fields of destruction
Baptisms of fire
Ive watched all your suffering
As the battles raged higher
And though they did hurt me so bad
In the fear and alarm
You did not desert me
My brothers in arms

Theres so many different worlds
So many differents suns
And we have just one world
But we live in different ones

Now the suns gone to hell
And the moons riding high
Let me bid you farewell
Every man has to die
But its written in the starlight
And every line on your palm
Were fools to make war
On our brothers in arms
