As a Pole i worked 2 years in Nissan factory in Washington and ever weekend i visited Newcastle so Why Aye Man will stay with me to the end of my life.
Me dad passed away 4 years ago yesterday. He was the epitome of a Geordie lad. A hard worker. Family first. The phrase Wye Aye Man will always make me smile and remember. Mark Knopfler, Jimmy Nail, these men brought my dad home when he listened. I'll be forever grateful for their music.
Im from the deepest south, well southampton to be exact., and i love geordies. Mark knopfler plays and sings a great tribute to all geordie folk. R i p to your beloved dad.
Proud to be a Geordie even though I haven't lived in Newcastle area for a quite a few years, I'll always be a Geordie and proud of my working class heritage. Love everything Mark Knopler does.
This song my husband so loved. He'll sing along, out loud with pride, for he too was a GORDIE from Newcastle. Our children would hear him play Mark everyday and sang along with there Dar. Wonderful memories. Thank you Mark.
Whey aye! I just have to say I’m so bloody glad I’m a Geordie! Geordies are, IMO, the salt of the earth, straightforward, honest, kind, the one you would like to be by your side in a time of need. I’ve lived away for a number of years but I’m very glad to be back. I also think our artists do not get the recognition they deserve. Jimmy Nail, brilliant, Lindisfarne, ignored by local radio stations and so many others. I love where I live. :)
It takes me back to being a kid in the early 80s when my mum would let me stay up and watch Auf Weidersen pet with her! I actually ended up becoming a sparky in thé construction industry. Cheers Barry! 🤣
I never went abroad for work myself, but lots of my pals did in just such circumstances as this song describes. It is just so true to life. I think this song is a true "Folk Song" in the sense that it truly captures a time and social history of Geordieland. It isn't heard anywhere near enough on mainstream media.
That's why I'm glad it's still on UA-cam for us all to enjoy. Incidentally, the CD single of 'Why Aye Man' and it's parent album 'The Ragpicker's Dream' (which I have copies of myself) are still available to buy at a very reasonable price from such online retailers as Amazon and Ebay, if you are interested.
You know that mark is one of the best lyricist in the 🇬🇧...( probably the world 🌎) and without a doubt one of the best guitarists in the world of rock and roll.... And to add to that ..this gentleman is of a o.a.p.age and still kicking the arse out of today's best so called rockstars... A classic artist.
"Tonight we'll drink the old town dry. Keep 'wor spirit levels high." "Nay more work on Maggie's farm. Haddaway down the autobahn." Why hasn't Mark Knopfler been made the poet laureate? The bloke's a poetic genius!
I distinctly remember buying the original CD single of 'Why Aye Man' (as well as it's parent album 'The Ragpicker's Dream') on it's release in 2001. It's easily one of Mark's best solo tracks. Needless to say, I also love his extensive work with Dire Straits. Incidentally, this main title theme tune to 'Auf Wiedersehen Pet' Series Three also features cast members Jimmy Nail (Oz) and Tim Healy (Dennis) on prominent backing vocals.
It's a Mark Knopfler solo single, not a Dire Straits hit. His old group Dire Straits officially split in 1995, but this song wasn't released until six years later.
This wonderful and unique artist deserves the Noble prize in literature, no doubt. His songs are never banal. He always talks about the real life, the love, the hard and humble works, the war, the disperates, the hope for change, the unemployment and the work as a social redemption, the prevarications of powerful people, the positive and negative aspects of the celebrities, the cynicism of the show business, the economic, social and politic distortions of the modern society, the effects and the crisis of the capitalism ecc. ecc. and all this with precise references historical, social, geographics, literary, cultural and social customs in beautiful and poetic lyrics. God bless Mark Knopfler.
I couldn't agree more, but I think Mark Knopfler's journalism degree is probably a big help in his writing of song lyrics. He is also a former reporter for 'The Yorkshire Evening Post'.
9000 views for the song like this? cmon, where is the music industry goin? this song deserves atleast a million view. RIP real music. love u Mark!! always
Ddrsdd D I agree 100% and the fact that there are so many people who still appreciate good music and comment on a social media platform when we are all old school people who appreciate real music speaks volumns. The sheer fact that we all still love MK today indicates how awesome he is and the legacy of real music he's given us...so far. This crap music in the charts/online/wherever won't be around in 20 or 30 years time like this is x
This promo video was actually included on the DVD and VHS releases of 'Auf Wiedersehen Pet' Series Three and appears after the last episode's closing credits in order to promote both the 'Why Aye Man' single and it's album 'The Ragpicker's Dream'.
I can be down, need a lift - whatever, this tracks ticks all the boxes. For a southerner it also is something that makes me proud of the North where there are some of the best people in the U.K.!
My Granddad left Cornwall to Work in Germany back in the day I know its a different neck of the woods, still reminds me of him, catchy as hell as well.
My dad had to work away after they shut his shipyard down on the Tyne the northeast as a hole had it tough during during the 70s80s with the mass loss of industry but we're still here and strong and proud as ever wey aye man
A man who is proud of where he's from, who happens to be one of the best rock composer/musicians. Genius, it made me feel proud to be Geordie... I dunno why I'm from the East Midlands!
I love this song. It encapsulates the original story of Auf Wiedersehen, Pet. It's fundamentally Dennis's theme song because it's about him loving Newcastle but being in love with Dagma.
"Why Aye Man" We had no way of staying afloat We had to leave on the ferry boat Economic refugees On the run to germany We had the back of maggie's hand Times were tough in geordieland We got wor tools and working gear And humped it all from newcastle to here Why aye man, why aye, why aye man Why aye man, why aye, why aye man We're the nomad tribes, travelling boys In the dust and dirt and the racket and the noise Drills and hammers, diggers and picks Mixing concrete, laying bricks There's english, irish, scots, the lot United nation's what we've got Brickies, chippies, every trade German building, british-made Why aye man, why aye, why aye man Why aye man, why aye, why aye man Nae more work on maggie's farm Hadaway down the autobahn Mine's a portacabin bed Or a bunk in a nissen hut instead There's plenty deutschmarks here to earn And german tarts are wunderschoen German beer is chemical-free Germany's alreet with me Sometimes I miss my river tyne But you're my pretty fraulein Tonight we'll drink the old town dry Keep wor spirit levels high Why aye man, why aye, why aye man Why aye man, why aye, why aye man
Mark Knopfler is one of those artists who demand expressions from "A" to "Z" from dictionaries, describing his entire trajectory of success, respect, dedication and donation to world music and art. Vocation is not enough without LOVE and he has already proved that he has plenty left, because we can feel it in his songs His talent is consolidated and eternalized by all generations, which is an extraordinary feat and a great pride for music and all of us, its fans. Single and multiple artist in attributes and qualities, among all, only one was missing; he is undeniably INCOMPARABLE! Mark Knopfler has it all, it's just unparalleled. May we all have such a positive and loving vibration transmitted by the special and enlightened being that is Mark Knopfler 🎇👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
My dad woke me up by playing this song at highest volume. Later I asked him which song he played this morning, but he couldn’t recall. Then he suggested this one, but for some reason I couldn’t admit that I diged it. Haha.
@@Baris504 Margaret Thatcher had nothing but contempt for industry in the North of England and Scotland. That's what that means. The back of maggie's hand. Evil woman.
Infrastructure replacing battles and wars, connection to life, electricity and transport leading to education and health care and better housing, this is the way, why aye man?✌️❤️🇬🇧
This shows how Mark knopfler is up there with the greatest song writers. Not only did he capture the essence of the series this was used for, it covers the whole show period.
I have been out of Britain since 1975 and I went a bit further than Germany - to Africa - you can take the boy out of Geordieland but you canna take the Geordie out the boy!
One of the best... He was a master in laid back music... Many try copy... But no one.. Maybe mark knopfler can sound like him and play it... But jj.. Was a true legend ❤
Thanks Mark, I escaped the back of Maggies hand, and ran to Germany, your songs and albums kept me determined, Unt ich was eine soldaten (Britischer) the haunting melodies and lyrics were a great balance to being in a place not home, yet was to become so.... thanks
Not usual in Mark's solo career (in which I'm often a big fan of the lyrics but the music much less so), here music and lyrics are a perfect blend. I love singing it to myself, especially because of my "love" for all things German. "Les Boys" comes to mind, too.
i worked a bricklayer in the mid-90. It´s true, we did have a plenty of british construction workers everywhere. And hell, they were not good. Thery were EXCELLENT. Even we could learn a lot from them. True workers with passion and ethics.
I was an international student at Newcastle University and I came to love the Geordies. There was one guy on my course who had such a thick Geordie accent that I honestly did not understand a word he said at first. But it grew on me. And though this was 15 years ago the North East is still a place I long for. The Tyne, the coastline, the (few) shipyards... Whenever I see a bunch of Geordies in line at the airport, the lads in their back and white jerseys, the lasses in their pink temperature-independent almost-nothings, my heart leaps and I just want to jump into that plane.
This is the first time I've listened to this properly. I love it. I'm going to add it to a playlist alongside Springsteen's The Ghost of Tom Joad and Dylan's Ballad of Hollis Brown
Politics should always solv people's problems but..... not always so!!. Thatcherism an example critically composed/sung by Mark in this beautiful song..🌹🎶❣️
As a Pole i worked 2 years in Nissan factory in Washington and ever weekend i visited Newcastle so Why Aye Man will stay with me to the end of my life.
Why Aye!
Why Aye, Man! 💪
I don't care where he was born or brought up, the man is brilliant!
Weegies and Geordies. Brothers in arms. Mark was born in Glasgow but raised as a Blyth lad. From a proud weegie. Why aye

I love that Tim Healy and Jimmy Nail provided some of the backing vocals on this. Cracking track
I didn’t know this. That’s great. Tim Healy is actually a great singer 👍
Cracking track from a Cracking show 👏 👌 👍
Now you have told me that I can hear both Jimmy Nail and Tim Healy. Fabulous, suits AUF wiedersen brilliant.
Yes, I noticed that the first time I heard it. Great touch.
And of course Why Aye Man was the Auf Weidersehn Pet theme tune. Oz also mentions he's listening to MK in the show.
Proud to be a Geordie even though I haven't lived in Newcastle area for a quite a few years, I'll always be a Geordie and proud of my working class heritage. Love everything Mark Knopler does.
"Man I miss my River Tyne" such a profound sentence for any Geordie who is away from Newcastle 😀
I miss the River Humber ! Born in Cleethorpes but lived in South Africa last 44 years !

Big rivalry between Sunderland natives (Macams) and Newcastlers (Geordies) apparently.
That's "Mackems", I am from Sunderland. We are all included in the generic species of "Geordies" though!

That sweet little catchy guitar riff he plays throughout is pure quality, classic Knof twang.
Such a brilliant catchy iconic guitar riff, this guy is a special talent on the guitar who makes me smirk with his twangy guitar style.
I can certainly detect a very strong Hank Marvin influence in Mark's brilliant guitar playing. The Shadows music was a big influence on him.
One of his best songs. when the guitar lead comes, it's simply crazy how it reaches us deep
"Why Aye Man"
We had no way of staying afloat
We had to leave on the ferry boat
Economic refugees
On the run to germany
We had the back of maggie's hand
Times were tough in geordieland
We got wor tools and working gear
And humped it all from newcastle to here
Why aye man, why aye, why aye man
Why aye man, why aye, why aye man
We're the nomad tribes, travelling boys
In the dust and dirt and the racket and the noise
Drills and hammers, diggers and picks
Mixing concrete, laying bricks
There's english, irish, scots, the lot
United nation's what we've got
Brickies, chippies, every trade
German building, british-made
Why aye man, why aye, why aye man
Why aye man, why aye, why aye man
Nae more work on maggie's farm
Hadaway down the autobahn
Mine's a portacabin bed
Or a bunk in a nissen hut instead
There's plenty deutschmarks here to earn
And german tarts are wunderschoen
German beer is chemical-free
Germany's alreet with me
Sometimes I miss my river tyne
But you're my pretty fraulein
Tonight we'll drink the old town dry
Keep wor spirit levels high
Why aye man, why aye, why aye man
Why aye man, why aye, why aye man
