Dire Straits - Tunnel of Love Music Video

[MrIceman001]

My excelent music taste bring me here.

[ozzyhead73]

WHY THE HELL ARENT THESE GUYS IN THE ROCK N ROLL HALL OF FAME??????? not only are they not in it, theyve never even been nominated to get in!!!! theyve sold around 150 MILLION records world wide, and mark knopfler is widely considered to be 1 of the greatest guitarists of all time but theyre not in!!! but people like DARLENE LOVE, JACKSON BROWNE, and THE SUGAR HILL GANG get in???? what the fuck is that????? at least people like us on here recognize good music though!!! LONG LIVE REAL MUSIC!!

[MrTriumph2]

brings back so many memories terific group

[srdjankovic]

cathartic solo

[riotjavelin]

I'll enjoy this song 'till I die! And I shall make my son, grandson, etc listen to it too!

[DaveTomasetti]

5:56 A-W-E-S-O-M-E solo, simply A-W-E-S-O-M-E, so full of passion and feeling, a Knopfler's Trademark

[kashron007]

now that's what i call MUSIC :)

[cheesynounou]

The video is pretty strange, but love the music.

[juninhohyuuga]

best song of all time. really.¹²³(world)

[evi230790]

memories of 2008 to the mountain with full volume of this song playing..

[fakyas]

thumb 2012



[RFWUSA]

best song of all time. really.

[designerclothes2u]

I'm high on this song!

[MultiTroll84]

It annoys me this is below Bruce Springsteen's same titled song in Youtube. It's not that The Boss isn't ace, love his music. But the share quality of this song should put it before the other one!!!

[ulakuizia]

I'm jealous to all those who lived through these times...!! Love Straits, PERIOD

[tetrabud]

2:22 ben affleck :P

[KokoBWary]

Astounding solo work from start to finish..

[FrogSpatula42]

David Knopfler IS a tall man.

[TimtotheTam]

@FrogSpatula42 Yeah, except David Knopfler is not in the video, he quit the band a year before this song was even made.

[avgray]

And the big wheel keeps on turning! Classic Dire Straits this one. So many anthems of their time, in much the way as Queen?

[FrogSpatula42]

@avgray Better than queen, I think.

[Aquill0]

Dammit, as much as I love Dire Straits, I can't help finding this video hilarious for all the wrong reasons. The sight of Mark bobbing up and down in the back of a slowly revolving car at 0:57 kills me each time.

[thecaproni100]

Is that Leslie Ash ? in the Video ..?

Very strange .. the video doesn't seem to go with the song .. But it IS Their video , so they must of been happy with it !! : )

[theking]

@thecaproni100 Oh yes, that's Leslie Ash all right.

[Manuz1234]

No, azarel888, the replay, replay, replay bit is 5:58 - 8:04. Best part of the solo is at the start, I think.

[freebirdhis]

I'm glad none of my idiot boyfriends have not had the intelligence to take the time to love this song with me. It's too good anyways and I will love it all top my dam self.

[azarel888]

6:25 - 8:04

replay,replay,replay...

[musicequalhappiness]

i agree that their videos are bit crap altho i still like the parts with the 3 of them performing with light effects and all that, it changes from their live videos ;) do like me, JUST DONT WATCH, it'was the 80s give them a break, enjoy the music, that's what we're here for after all, right?

[forzamilan34]

dire straits sempre i migliori

[SuperMegaMusicMaster]

THIS IS BEASTLY! I LOVE IT!!!!!! total potential for lifetime classic... party on! -9D

[Nordzumu]

The Dire Straits: One of the best bands ever with the probably shittiest clips.

[seraphima91]

Yeah. I didn't know who Mark Knopfler was until I read Douglas Adams "So long, and thanks for all the fish".

[jessicademange096815]

o yeah



[willjenks8]

*band

[willjenks8]

@valky I'm 26 and dire straits are best bank to grace the planet,mr knopfler is a genius,he's inspired me to learn how to play

[valkythealky]

So many Dire Straits songs bring out emotions in you... quality band whether it is Brothers in Arms or songs like this. Don't want to sound like an old grandad but you do feel there was better quality music in the "old days".

[Pdaevnlies]

25 people are deaf and were assessing the song by the video. :D

[Bradman99notout]

Favourite song of all time.  Period. Nothing comes close to their live performance at Wembley Arena in '85 or on BBC's Whistle Test (both performance are thankfully featured on You Tube). However, words cannot do justice to how truly AWFUL this video is! 'From the sublime to the ridiculous is only a step...'

[shanehenning26]

great song

[aledav79]

La canción le da mil vueltas al vídeo. Una de las mejores de DIRE STRAITS

[ddclaws]

my father wants this on his funeral.. im glad i like this song

[TheVodKanockers]

I guess director of video was chimpanzee

[TheVodKanockers]

Music is great but video is just stupid.

[thealexray]

Possibly the most literal music video ever made.

[twinserotics]

legendary TJ in oficial a gentleman with richard gere 1981

[velanapontinha]

How anyone can not like this song still boggles my mind

[ShohaTheGreat]

one of the only songs on earth that make you rock and calm at the same time

[PepitoGritos1]

A los que no les guste... Vayan a un otorrino, que con suerte y terapia, su oído se puede salvar.

[MrSamurai54]

grandisssssiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimmm­mmmmmmmmmmmmiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii­iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

[kredno]

The best song ever on the worst video clip....

[paweulung71]

waoooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwww­wwwwwwwwww



[Al3ss1084]

Quei 22 che hanno cliccato su "non mi piace" credo siano sordi!!

[Bonnman100]

song = amazing, mind blowing, life altering

video = what?

[svanz340]

Il brano è bellissimo ma i video non sapevano ancora come si facevano!

[marks1979efc]

Unbeleavable song, just awesome! cheers Dire Straits !!

[huskvarsm]

Great then great now high production values these boys are total pros there is nothing out there that can touch their level of musicianship no fake guitars or drum machines here just guys at the top of their game awesome.

[mrchuk]

"Mark Knopfler has an extraordinary ability to make a Schecter Custom Stratocaster hoot and sing like angels on a Saturday night, exhausted from being good all week and needing a stiff beer."

* Adams' Description of the guitar on the Dire Straits track "Tunnel of Love"

[moluscoguitar]

why just 1 000 000 views?? what fuck is going on in the world??

[SmartWarthog]

@moluscoguitar Justin Bieber

[moluscoguitar]

@SmartWarthog ahahahahaha probably.. end of the world is coming

[jippiejojippiejee]

When I was 17 i was dressed in army boots, my pants in my boots, a army jacket full of Iron maiden emblemata and... Dire Straits.. wtf these guys... its electricity

[kazbaz2011]

I remember this song from "An Officer and a Gentleman"! Love Dire Straits - amazing.

[Babsy972]

I was born in the 70's and I LOOOOVE this music! Dire Straits is my favourite band.. Mark Knopfler is a genius on the guitar!.. A week doesn't go past that I don't listen to DS.. it's my drug...

[MegaBoyStyle]

At 22 the ignorant who do not understand anything about music is not like this video. People who do not like the best music ever, that this.

[simoojouama]

i am so in deep love with this music , we are blessed for having ya Dair straits !

[bientran]

i wish Mark would play this song again.

[jerry150686]

Damn, I'm so proud being born in the 80's and been "educated" with those 70's and 80's timeless absolute hits! dIRE sTRAITS FTW !!

[destin1334]

21 i don't like? how it is possible?

[blindlife213]

This generation needs more music like this. Today's music has no soul, no feelings behind it. They're just there for the fame. This is why I play guitar. I'm gonna add my 1% to help bring the world back to a time of great music like this.

[Nurekok]

So easy to blow my mind... Love u DS

[Nurekok]

WOW. Yea! . what just happened? ..... Oh yeah i just had my brains blown by Dire Straits.

[venkyrockss2010]

Absolute masterpiece! Should have been born in the 80's. No words for this song. The video is so trippy as well. <3 Dire straits and Mark!

[soleitequila]

I love this song. Amo esta canción, me recuerda mis tiempos de la Universidad, me recuerda a mis buenas amigas, noches mágicas cerca del volcán Popocatépetl.

[Varislav1996]

Why aren't there more reactions of classic?

[WINTERS467]

PUEA YO LLEVO 30 AÑOS ESCUCHANDO ESTO Y NO ME CANSO

[soleitequila]

@WINTERS467

YA SOMOS DOS, YO LLEVO 33 AÑOS ESCUCHANDO A DIRE STRAITS Y SU "TÚNEL DEL AMOR" (Y NO ME CANSO).

[Thom176]

good old Dire Straits

[cheiguer]

listen to the end of the song the guitar since 7 years icant stop listen to it just great.

[oddroy23]

No words needed

[shanehenning26]

great song

[DevaXfish]

when we were kids...................

[ShohaTheGreat]

one of the best songs i ever heard

[groutdave]

This video is a piece of trash, but a good example of early MTV style

[ASteveVaiFan]

@groutdave There is something beautiful though about how relevant Dire Straits music videos are. They reflect exactly what's being said. It seems new videos just have women taking their clothes off or guys trying to be cool. Maybe it's because new music isn't about ANYTHING so it's hard to be relevant. But I digress...the point is that there is something to be liked about these old videos despite how primative they are.

[ticktacktacktick1]

My Favorite song of all things :)))

[Lukas7778]

questa canzone mi è sempre piaciuta così tanto che ho imparato il testo a memoria!

just like me she was a victim of the night...

like the spanish city to me... when we were kids...

e che meraviglia l'assolo finale col pianoforte che entra via via...

[JoeCoyer]

I absolutely love this song, and absolutely hate this video. Talk about missing the whole spirit and feel of the song.

[vitux76]

_____________ The HISTORY of MUSIC !!!*_________

[browser067]

They should regroup & tour again, all the other artists do, they would sell out every concert.

[cookieman38111]

How primitve and hokey videos were in 1980!!!

[vysehrad]

And ladies and gentlemen, on the piano... ROY BITTAN!!!

[MrPetermcguire]

I feel the same way - how could have I missed this fantastic composition especially since it was on the Officer and a Gentleman ( which I quickly ordered on Netflix) thanks Chae

Does anyone know which live version Knopfler broke his E string on this song - and does the final note ( an E I think ) seem out of tune in the Live at the BBC version ?

[Romyality]

I don't really like their music videos, but I ADORE their songs! :D

[Stickmodee]

Brings back great memories. If only my ex wife wasn't in them!!!!!!!!!!! Even that evil bitch can't ruin this song!!!

[MrPomdownunder]

@Stickmodee You were married to Leslie Ash ?

[Stickmodee]

@MrPomdownunder No, No, lol. My evil ex was in my memories from when I first heard this song, not the video. I'm sure Leslie Ash is a very nice woman!

[manesubaru]

5:59 comença el millor solo que he escoltat mai. Em transporta als millors moments de la meva vida, i això sempre li agraïre al MARK. Sempre teu Knoffler

[Raisin2girl]

Stupendo l'assolo finale.

Stupenda canzone.

[teedough20]

i wonder who the 19 fuck sticks are who dislike this song! no fucking idea!

[Manudave1970]

Jesus This is pure class !!

[Tdsan26]

This has to be one of the most mind blowing songs in the world, once you hear it, you're not the same again just rocks the crap out of you and calms you at the same time, that's the magic of Dire Straits. They are the only band that can make you feel that way. Period.

[Tpviper]

@Tdsan26 you are so right,i grew up with this,was 17 at the time but even now means so much to me,true life events unfolded to this,simply mind blowing as you say............

[floydkhalid]

give mark a documentary page and he,ll sing it like his any other song.. arguably one of the best "singer + guitarist "

[Kwhale727]

@Tdsan26 heh 69th like

[intertonyblue]

@Tdsan26 true words

[marcuswormy]

This is a classic what a song awsome it dont get any better than this.proberly the best driving tune ever

[angelchez]

Love this song, reminds me of day trips to the Spanish City in Whitley Bay when I was a kid

[Woesteinvuir]

The song is incredible, with one of the greatest guitar solos of all time. I truly consider it one of the greatest love songs ever written.

That said, the video is fucking awful.

[SandmanOz]

This album my mum used to play over & over on our long road trips. Ah memories, what a great track

[vintagezigg]

This song is the 80s to me. So touching. Mark's Masterpiece .

[kikesev]

what a fucking awesome song, sorry for the bad words but its AMAZING.

[mikae86]

" THIS IS MUSIC "

[nunonirvana37]

Girl you look so pretty to me, like you always did

Like the spanish city to me, when we were kids!

This is Heaven!

[Rosspect22]

19 people havent been through the tunnel

[Laterracalda]

What great music! So many years have gone by and this music is still fantastic!

[dannymartindelfin1]

the song is fucking awsome but the video is fucked up XD

[withnail555]

@dannymartindelfin1 It's actually pretty good for the 80s!

[MasssTR]

@dannymartindelfin1 no i love the video

[0248959]

love it at 5:58

[banshee5555]

6:39 Leslie Ash.

[yinon500]

great song!!!!!!!

[linkizelda1]

THE VIDEOCLIPS ARE SO, SO, SO, SO... SO DIRE STRAITS :)

[leewalterstx]

One of my favorite songs ever! I'm curious about the video however. This isn't the one I remember seeing way back then. The one I remember started with a Carousel wheel, and there was a lot of footage of a guy and girl running through Paris (I think?) The final solo starts with Mark looking at his reflection in the water. Not sure what happened to that video, but it matched the song WAY better than this video.

[PowerThirteen]

@leewalterstx Is this the one you remember? v=TWX5yXMqxeA

[Beatriceranieri]

the video sucks but the song rocks

[shanehenning26]

great song

[natalie1111111able]

The director for the video needs shooting with a very large bullet. This is comedy at its best but dire straits really do deserve better! Still, it made me laugh hysterically which was enjoyable :)

[DrexXxlord]

Even though the piece is brilliant, the problem with the video takes the lyrics way to serious. Sorry, I'm the biggest Dire Straits fan, but these lyrics just can't be expressed by just putting together visualized parts of them.

The video itself has no subtance, sorry to say that :(

[myboybovice]

@DrexXxlord well you gotta realize this is the 80s, you didn't really see anything that had a story, that all started when michael jackson was doing his music videos and really started actually when he was white

[dennis74]

@DrexXxlord Agreed. :)

I kinda enjoy bad taste 80's videos like this one, though ... dunno why.

And the video is (of course) really _really_ bad.

[nairadit]

@DrexXxlord Let's be honest, when this song was made it was all about the song, now videos have become more glamorous ...

just scroll down read comments and hear the song, or still better, browse something else

[dennis74]

5:59 and forward ranks right up there with the best music ever made.

One of their best pieces for sure.

Oh, and the video rocks. :)

[Adelin261]

Many Thanks

[freethoughtmusic]

One of the greatest, most tasteful, brilliantly put together guitar solos of all time to go with one of the greatest pieces of understated keyboard virtuosity ever recorded on a popular song.

[yair1010]

Pitbull, Justin Beiber and Lady Gaga could learn a thing or two from this!!!!!!!

THIS IS HOW YOU CREATE PURE MUSIC!!!!!

[riotjavelin]

This solo is just amazing, it calms me instantly.

Peace :)

[Adelin261]

Is there someone who can tell me what XD means?

Thank You

[EdwardJamesCastSly]

@Adelin261 uh... ok, XD is the attempt of producing a little face...  being D the open mouth and X very hardly shutted eyes... im assuming thats an real question

[ROBSONPEART]

a melhor do dire com certeza, está entre as dez dos ´´utimos 30anos

[TheMussoliniano]

amazing!

[nisekisser11]

i like this video it really gives a rusch when in the midle of the song,the gitaar starts and give a single show .when thats happend y always turn my radio at max level,cant help it,it really gets me.beye Rob.

[albe71ful]

L'assolo di chitarra dal minuto 6 in poi è praticamente da BRIVIDI!!!!!!!!

[SunFlower3Happy]

Musical Magic.

Hot Hit.

Great Listening to this Terrific Tune.

Vibrant Video.

Best Brilliant Band.

LOVE.

[sandyland212]

I have never heard this song EVER in my life until my husband bought me the Greatest Hits (Sultans of Swing always being a favorite song) when I heard this song WOW! Just an amazing composition, amazing guitar, bass, lyrics, just EVERYTHING about it touched my very soul. Thank you Dire Straits for your music, all of it!

[ciarraibuzz]

@sandyland212 I could not agree more. It has a touching, delectable nature.

[007madsurfer]

@sandyland212 Amen :)

[excelbolt]

@sandyland212 don`t forget piano too

[ozzyhead73]

@sandyland212 it was the same for me!!! i always loved dire straits but never heard this till bout 5 years ago and when i heard it i was like, THIS IS FRIGGIN AWESOME!!!! and how bout the guitar solo at the end!!! i wish they would do 1 more tour together with the classic lineup!!!! i would wait for days in line to get tix for that!! take care!!!!

[tricky707]

Great track, reminds me of my youth.. Happy Days :)

[ciarraibuzz]

@tricky707 I have heard this song forever and I am as amazed as you if I haven't heard it for a while and then hear it again. It is so touching. Peace.

[zelenko1234]

Best ending ever!!!

[chuccia]

dal minuto 00.00 al 08.04 si sente il miglior pezzo del brano

[shanehenning26]

great song

[megamarcin]

2:07 pre- lady gaga ?

[7747jc]

My all-time favorite by D.S.

[Knopflergiallorosso]

the "song" 

[cbae55555]

This song was playing on the jukebox at TJs at the end of An Officer and a Gentleman when Paula says goodbye to Zach for what she thought was the last time.

[TheNell44]

@cbae55555 That film is just one of my faves.Watched it recently....so dated now, but still hits the spot!!

[Kauwhaka]

@cbae55555 Glad I'm not the only one who noticed that. I saw that film many years ago now, and the one scene I still remember is the jukebox playing Tunnel of Love. Especially the classic guitar solo at the end!

[GarethWonfor]

@cbae55555 - Great film - like top gun without the jets/budget....not such a good advert for the US Naval air force though ; )

[SpotCreature]

Whoever said they dislike this song i have a couple words for you " eat my BOOMSTICK"

[lumeriam]

What kind of fools hated them? I hope its just the video they were primitive then. Imagine, it is not the band's fault they hired a new beginner video company.

[lumeriam]

3 guys making THAT MUSIC. WOW, I LOVE DIRE STRAITS.

[SimonDolan]

Is this a really clever classic video or just a crap video? The song is great by the way.

[lumeriam]

@SimonDolan Early MTV was funny huh? The bands were told they had to get involved it was the future of music...they hated it for the most part.

[d4videf]

they caught the essence of being dangerously in love!

[RodneyWR10]

i dont care if i dont agree im gay..bt im gone fuck those 12 people..THE HARD WAY..doggy style

[MrElvenbrother]

2:58... Drebin!
