Yes brother, he said it. It was the 80s when people spoke the truth and got along well. Gen X.
This was in 1985, and it was written from the point of view of 2 delivery men watching MTV at an electronics shop... Back in the 80's, MTV played a lot of artists that wore makeup and looked feminine and glam - artists like Prince... Culture Club ... Motley Crue... Ratt ... Kiss... etc. That was why the conversation included the word 'fa++++' to describe these artist that had their videos on air... What most people didn't know was that artists were not making the money or getting their own jet airplanes... The record labels made the money and did not give the artists a decent royalty rate, so many artists and bands saw themselves in debt while making million$ for their corporate bosses.
Don't be afraid of the word. They are an English band and that word has been defined in English common law for 600 years. It's a bundle of firewood sticks 36" long and 25" around. At the time this song came out in the UK it was a slang term for both a homosexual and for someone wimpy and unmanly. And it had been slang for a cigarette for several decades before that.
@@richdiddens4059well said sir
Cigarettes 🚬 are still called fags in Australia and yes from the English!
In later live versions, they substituted the word; queenie.
@@richdiddens4059 Don't forget about Mr. Brains faggots, which are delicious, and for some reason impossible to find in the colonies.
That beautiful high voice you hear in the background is "Sting" from the famous band "The Police" .
Sting has a more extended role on the extended play album version.
When you have more of "Dire Straits"
on your Channel, lead singer Mark Knopler also has some duets with a favorite female singer of mine, Emmylou Harris! Their version of "Red Dress Girl" , Live, is absolutely worth watching!
THANK YOU!
yes ! Thank You !
@@wdaisygirl 👌😊
It’s interesting how many people think this song is the first song to be played on MTV. They don’t stop to think that MTV had to get going before people would sing about it. By the way the first song on MTV was “Video Killed the Radio Star “.
The Buggles.
Hardly anyone remembers them any longer.
It was the first song to be played on MTV Europe which launched a few years after MTV in the US, so for many it was indeed the first song they heard played on MTV.
In Europe it was the first song to be played on MTV
Really?? Love that song!!! Wow, what a one to open on.
I still remember the day when this video premiered on MTV. This was the early stages of computer animation & we had never seen anything like it before. It was groundbreaking. The term CGI didn't exist in our vocabulary yet. This song was a massive hit - played on MTV & the radio stations constantly. 38 years later & it is still one of my favorites. The opening guitar riff is iconic, everyone knows it. As soon as the beat drops, you have to get up & dance, it's the law - LOL! The first line "I want my, I want my MTV" was sung by Sting, lead singer from the rock trio, The Police.
Dire Straits are a great British rock band from the 70's-90's. Mark Knopfler is one of the best guitarists around. They have had so many hits including "Walk Of Life", "Brothers In Arms", "Telegraph Road", "Romeo & Juliet", "Private Investigations", "Twisting By The Pool", "So Far Away" etc. They don't have a bad song.
Sultans of Swing!
Love Over Gold, Portobello Belle, Lady Writer, Communique, Solid Rock...it just goes on. :)
Mark Knopfler wrote this song after overhearing 2 delivery men in a store in New York talking about what they saw on the TV's that were all tuned to MTV, Mark wrote down what he heard and turned it into this song, it's a blue collar workers view of rock stars. He also wanted the guitar to sound like ZZ Top since they were very popular on MTV at the time. The bands shown in the video are fictional.
Ahhh the 80’s. A simpler time of big hair, stiletto heels and blue eyeshadow. A land before internet drama existed and where men wearing makeup still wanted to be known as men. A decade with Archie Bunker, The Jefferson’s and Good Times on our TV’s. Back then folks in general were far less offended by pretty much everything and nobody really sat around telling thousands of strangers their opinion about it all. I sure miss those days!! Thanks for taking me down memory lane, AB!! ❤
You looked great in that blue eye shadow.
The intro of this song blew my speakers out in my truck back in the day. I couldn't help but trun the radio up full blast when this song came on! The 80's were best
True statement 😊
That's what he said! 😂 This song came out during the time that we weren't so sensitive!
💯❤️🔥
One of the best rock guitar intros ever!
I love that you got the movers slant. I have seen others react to this song and have no idea why there are cartoon movers on the video. Great reaction. Thank you
I've always loved this song. But one of my favorite memories of it was when my dad and I were driving home on a rural dirt road, in an old 80's Chevy truck with speakers that had no bass.
This song came on the radio and he turned it up full blast, and stomped on the gas pedal as that awesome intro started. We were flying down the dirt road, and that crunchy guitar notes had so much clarity and was so loud that I couldn't hear anything else. I couldn't even hear myself. It was awesome. Lol
Early 80's .... yeah they said that
If you hear it now in the US that word is edited out and if you don’t know better you don’t miss it. You can still get the original but you need to check it out.
Yep, he definitely said the F word….everyone wasn’t so damn sensitive back in the day 🤣
The line is from the perspective of a working class guy delivering appliances. That sort of person would definitely have used that word to refer to some of the glam rockers at the time. Even in the '80s it was meant to be.. not shocking exactly, but enough to put you off.
that guitar intro demonstrates you don't need heavy distortion to come in like a WMD
one of the hardest riffs ever
I was 3 years old in my baby play pen and this is the earliest memory of music/music video/CGI I have. My older sister was watching MTV and I was in the living room with her. The guitar riff is still 🔥🔥
This was the cutting edge of computer graphics back in 1985.
Yup. Which is funny when you consider the conspiracy therosits trying to convince us that the Moon Landing in 1969 was also CGI. :)
The singer in the band was in an electronic warehouse and was listening to the workers watching MTV on the wall while moving appliances and saying all these things and how they were feeling at the time, this is back in the 80's times were different, at some point they took the song off the radio because of the F word, but eventually because so many people wanted to listen the song they started playing it again on certain radio stations.....but it was all because of what the workers were saying and that was put into the song!
This song was written about Motley Crue. He was in a store that sold TVs and they were all playing Motley Crue. That was the song's inspiration.
So the story that Mark Knopfler said he overheard store guys talking and wrote a song about it was wrong.
@@chrischar9428Knopfler was in the store, the tv screens were all playing Motley Crue on MTV.
@@leannmiller7153 fine. But it's about what the workers said.
@@chrischar9428I don't quite comprehend what you're argument is here- about the conversation two Sear's employees were having that Mark Knopfler overheard. Are you saying this never happened, and is just an urban legend? If so, I don't see how you could draw that conclusion when Knopfler himself stated this in a 1986 Rolling Stone magazine interview that this was the impetus for 'Money For Nothing' indeed
@@Britton_Thompson I'm saying it wasn't motley crue in the store
*39 years later, still a banger!*
This was the first music video to use CGI. Holds up pretty well for being the original.
yeah doesn't look much different from Minecraft or Roblox lol.
If you haven't seen them do Sultans of Swing - LIVE -from the Alchemy tour....it's time! Unbelievable virtuosity, passion, and fun.
I liked that they got Sting to sing on this song. I just never understood why they didn't have him in the video.
Those graphics were state of the art back in the day.
The 80s is crazy. I could not stop laughing 😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Can confirm. It was crazy and we had no clue how crazy it was.
I've been a fan of theirs from the start, got to see them in concert once, one of the favorite experiences of my life.
I think being a rock star would be a very hard job! It not only takes a lot of practice but you have to travel all the time, sometimes while practicing! Fabulous reaction!
I was around for 6 years in the 80s, this music video is one of my earliest memories, the block men were like WOW back then
Back in the day (I’m 70) casual homophobia was mainstream as was misogyny. Some things have changed for the better.
How true.
It's worth noting of course that the casual homophobia was not Mark Knopfler's but the delivery guys' he overheard spouting off in the New York electrical appliance store who inadvertently provided many of the lyrics. Back then the term wasn't considered quite as offensive in the UK as it apparently was in the US (at least outside of the gay community) and when Mark learned how upsetting it was for people he immediately stopped singing it during live performances, substituting alternatives such as "queenie", "mother" and "mothertrucker". This happened not long after the Brothers in Album was released because the "F word" wasn't included during the band's performance at Live Aid just a few months later.
It is somewhat strange that this particular word so often results in a major reaction from people who haven't the song before yet so many other songs are littered with profanity, most notably in both rock and rap music. The extent of misogyny in those forms of music are far more extreme now than they were "back in the day".
That's an iconic guitar lick of the 80's. Who didn't know what song was coming hearing that?! Excellent song and so fun!
I like this song and Cover of the Rolling Stone, by Dr. Hook. Both of these songs have a similar feel.
First reaction I’ve seen that’s done the opening riff true justice
I'm convinced the way that guitar comes to life at the start inspired Terry Pratchett to write "Soul Music".
In 85 I had an MG Midget with a pioneer system. A couple of 6×9's right behind the seats and (for the day) I rocked this song!
Love your reaction to this amazing recording. You’re comments are spot on, if you read the comments below they’re all correct about where the song came from regarding the shop assistants complaining about working for a living!! All of the words including the F word was actually said in the shop on the day, Knopfler wrote down the whole conversation whilst he was there. It was actually back in 1985!! Check out Brothers in Arms and So Far Away all from the Brothers in Arms album. Mark Knopfler the lead guitarist is one of the best ever, when Prince was asked by a journalist what it’s like to be the best guitarist his answer……….’I don’t know, go and ask Mark Knopfler’!! Classic!!
This was one of the first videos ever played on MTV back in the 80s and another thing the voice singing in beginning I want my MTV is none other than Sting from the group the Police
In the mid-80'ies me and my buddy built our own speakers, and when we tested them the first time, this was the song we chose. It was so loud, we noticed mid-song that the neighbor was banging on the window to get us to turn the music down, we couldn't hear a word he said, but the meaning was clear enough
They say " find a job you love and you'll never work a day in your life". 🎸
Dire Straits were passionate about technology in the music industry and went to great pengths to ensure their studio sessions were immaculate.
Mark and his guitar = perfection 🤩❤️
Mark Knopfler (the lead singer) said in an interview that he wasn't trying to be offensive by using the "f-word". He was just using a word that was acceptable (though marginally so) at the time. Most radio stations played the short version that cut that verse. A lot of the androgynous musicians in the early/mid 1980s were prevalent on MTV. Too many people now are triggered by things that were considered innocuous in the past.
We had the BEST music in the 80's!!
5:00 when this came out some people did criticise the lyrics, but quite a few of the lines are literally what a storeman was saying, it was the actual viewpoint of a real guy doing the job. He hardly ever sings it like that live, says "mother trucker" or something instead
You do need to understand the occurrences that brought on the writing of this song. As already stated dude was in a store that sold appliances. MTV was plastered on every TV on the TV wall. The appliance workers were talking and making comments on MTV and the contents there on. Their discussion led him to write this song and the lyrics. Thanks for the great reaction.
Yes, the 80’s were crazy! I know from experience 🤣🤣
Mark insisted on playing his part for Weird Al's parody "Money For Nothing/Beverly Hillbillies."
Try "Walk of Life" from Dire Straits too.
Mark was in a store shopping and sales people were standing around watching a video and these were some of the comments they made. He took them and made a song out of it.😂
Sting from the band The Police sings the "I want my M-TV".
brother i am calling shredding melting from now on bc that term is HARD AS FUCK
Released in 1985. This song was written about Motley Crue!!! 🤘🤘🎶🎼🎵🎸🎤🥁🎧🎹🔥🔥🔥🤘🤘🤘
True! When Knopfler was in the store all the tv’s were playing Motley Crue on MTV
When I was a kid, I had a babysitter that wanted to watch MTV and she would let me watch if I didn’t rat. I remember this video and Take on Me blew my young mind.
Was around in the 80's & remember them well. The F-Word is actually directed at one spicific person, Boy George & his band Culture Club. To give you an idea how flamboyant he was. During one of the Queen of England's royal events, he rolled up in Cinderella's magical coach wearing clothing that made the queen's royal outfit look downright, boring. All of the English press turned their eyes & cameras on him ignoring the Queens event. The following day Boy George was on the front pages, not the Queen. Do believe some of the managing editors in London papers got a call from the royal palace over that.
It was the 80's dog. The F word was just something said. Man, I loved the 80's.
Written by Mark Knopfler and Sting. Knopfler is on guitar 🎸 and lead vocals. Sting is on backing vocals . The Dire Straits with Sting performance 🎭 live was on Live Aid in July, 1985.
The chords are the same as from the song Synchronicity 2, written by Sting.
1985 was the same year Sting recorded his 1st solo album and sang backing vocals on the Phil Collins song Take Me Home 🏡. No wonder Sting was busy as a bee 🐝! L 🤣L
This is when MTV only played music videos. After this song you heard and saw, everywhere, I want my MTV !
Yes that is what he said. Its said he had to clean it up when he plays live.
This is such a great song, I remember when this one came out on MTV, such a great video! ❤❤ wow! I haven’t seen this video for sooo long!!😂
Thanks AB for all of your great reactions!!
I love it, Dire Straits classic...Peace👍☝️😌
This song launched MTV Europe
i am totally against censorship in all forms. if you were to hear this song on the radio today, that whole verse with the "F" word would be removed, which i think is a shame. how can we see how far we have come without knowing where we have been?
That was when MTV was what it stood for, music television 24/7. So many bands that would have been left unheard got there music out to the world. Then like all things it went to crap with stupid reality shows and rarely any music. Thank God 4 UA-cam.
We called anyone that made us mad that name back in the day. It had nothing to do with sexual preference. ❤😊
Such a great song to dance to.
7:48 high af 46 yr old, appreciated this little rant lol
I remember once seeing something saying that this music video was the very first music video that played on MTV when it first aired in Europe or something.
Go CHIEFS KINGDOM!!! I live 25 min from the stadium LOL This was my song when I was 15 OMG loved it!!!!
Love Sting singing also.
Knopfler escribe cosas cotidianas,un día en una tienda de electrodomésticos,con la televisión puesta en la tienda con la MTV , escuchó la conversación de un trabajador veterano con el novato...y era eso,tocas un instrumento musical, tienes éxito y tienes todo con el mínimo esfuerzo... es completamente irónica
This was the first music video I watched when we hooked up to cable!!!!! Yes the 80’s were wild
Jajajaja, ese riff de entrada es del diablo!
He's poking fun with it...Somebody ALWAYS has some cut down...some disrespect on some level...its like breaking the fourth wall CALLING OUT THE OBVIOUS..like who gives AF about being gay, or a Rock Star?? THEY'RE JEALOUS! lol
They respect the hustle
This song was making fun of MTV. A lot of the commercials on the channel were for the things they mentioned in this song.
Check out Ride Across the River Live in Sydney 1986, has a really cool call and response between the guitar and a flute.
Love Dire Strait. Sting in the background is crazy.. He had a lot to say. We were there for it. Yes! We were wild! No cameras though
A lot of the lyrics were things that Mark Knophler heard appliance store employees say while a music video was playing. He basically wrote everything down and turned it into a song.
Next Dire Straits should be Walk of Life.🤠
this was by far one of my favorite videos.
Those days - guys were called that word just if they had long hair. Makeup, artistic clothing. That was enough to be called gay and in a Derogatory way.
I seen a meme that said my friend used his stimulus money to buy chickens- he got his money for nothing and his chick's for free lol😂😂
The guitar in the video just sold for $688,000
7:17 not gonna lie: i do like the research-oriented mind😁🤣
Also check out brothers in arms live
Fun fact: Dire Straits actually asked Vince Gill if he wanted to be their guitarist, back before Vince finally made a name for himself.
But Vince declined... Vince briefly talks about it in one of his live performances of his song "Oklahoma Boarder Line".
Weird Al Yankovic parody "Money For Nothing/Beverly Hillbillies"
Dance with me, ya'll!!!!!!❤❤
lol oh my I thought i heard what I heard and then your face -
top line
One of the greatest guitar riffs ever written and it’s in a song about microwaves and refrigerators.
In the same vein, check out Joe Walsh, “ Life’s Been Good.”
Walk of Life
The Actress/Model was filmed in eastern Europe - Czechoslovakia, if I recall correctly. The producer couldn't get an actual model, so hired an escort to do the role. She was lobbying to go full nude, but the producer talked her down.
At least while the camera was rolling.
Dire straits Sultans of Swing. Find an extended version.
Love you AB, But,,, Love you more for having Elvis hang out with you💜
🍊🍊🍊🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️
If my memory is right the F word you didn't like had a different meaning back then. It just meant he was a pretty boy, not really a gay slur
Dire straight....sultans of swing next
Check out the 1985 live version
Sting sings the chorus as they are really good friends even today
Faggott was nowhere near as offensive in the UK as is was in the States. It's an ancient word meaning firewood
And fags for cigarettes in Australia 🇦🇺 🙃 I can't remember why. You ask for a fag you are not handed a lgbt+ person😂 just a ciggie!
