Dire Straits - Sultans of Swing lyrics

[holdingfast7]

My favorite song i think! Its awesome.. can listen over and over :)

[hunt3erz53]

Once in Dublin they played and almost started a riot because they played a bunch of new stuuf WAY back in 83'

[AcesHigh7575]

This is how a guitar is supposed to be played.

[gtarno]

man, i'm trying to sing this song but i can't hahaha

[smolville]

That's what happens when your country won't let you search off shore sites to

find the lyrics to a song. Lets drop kick SOPA and PIPA.

[123496lol]

nice guitarre riff

[pricanskater95]

Here's an idea: if you know you messed up on doing the lyrics, why don't you go back and edit the video for the mistakes, then repost it?

[DaLtOn278]

Amazing solo at the end!!! This is yet another amazing song by Dire Straits!!

[Mamnia93]

One of the very few songs where I think the solo could last longer.

[Guitarplaya103]

i love all 70s and 80s hard rock van halen. queensryche, ac/dc, def leppard

but i love this song dire straits is killer

[nevertouchmyaviatorz]

[jeppe1208]

[MoPar7055]

Would you classify this song as mildly decent, marginally adequate or somewhat acceptable?

[Tubbs3695]

I am more of a classic rock guy but i love this song. =)

[MutantForm]

Dire straits are classic 70's rock dumbfuck

[spetnaz012]

[dynelol]

They were so fucking smart to add this to GH5.

[MoPar7055]

smarter than Einstein's general theory of relativity?

[dynelol]

Yes.

[MoPar7055]

Smarter then Quantum physics? Smarter then Newtons invention of Calculus at the age of 19? Smarter then the mysterious Quantum Theory of Gravity that would be the answer to the whole universe but still lies undiscovered?

[DaLtOn278]

That is a fabulous song especially the amazing solo at the end !! Rock on brothers!

The guitar work is so clean .... amazing song.

[dynelol]

That's why I think Jimi Hendrix is overrated...his stuff doesn't sound very clean.

[kjkj74]

@dynelol i like hendrix, he was sloppy like jimmy page but a hell of a guitarist

[aglarnim]

@kjkj74 ha i would hardly call page sloppy haha

[ShinigamiXV]

[kjkj74]

SAY NO TO YOUTUBE CENSORSHIP

Some bands are starting to be cut out of youtube : Nirvana, Led Zeppelin, Lynyrd Skynyrd amongst others .This can´t go on.

Copy and put this in your channel if you´re against the youtube censorship.( This isn´t an atempt of revolution lol but this bullshit can´t go on)

copy and paste in your channel

[BernardoGamingMusic]

i dont think ur right... the bands work hard to do music and ur listening it for free... they need to get payed

[kjkj74]

true musicians work because they need to do music. true musicians only care about perfection never about money.

true musicians get money from concerts.

[BernardoGamingMusic]

good point, but its the law... start a ryout to change the law xD and if eventually the law changed, many musicians would quite, cuz theire not true musicians and comercial musicians ;)

[klikko2]

Why don't you give some reasons why it can't go on, instead of just saying it can't?

[kjkj74]

fuck you! if you dont understand why its because youre a fucking moron! i bet youre a capitalist christian... fuck you

[CALLDACOPS999]

i needed this thanks :D

[davie4monster]

The motion disturbs the eye and it takes a long time to sort things out. And then you are late starting to sing.

[ZeppelinBigFan]

That's not a problem to me..... Great video!!!

[davie4monster]

the words comming from the side make it hard to sing to.

[imonic1]

wicked song this better than some new music

[brenden403]

this is better than all new music, I think

[whiteexpress94]

the word "sultans" is actually the plural form of the word "sultan".it means king.so it's the KING OF SWING!!

[clutchoconnor]

really. i thought it was about raisins

[whiteexpress94]

its in Malay.google it...

[whiteexpress94]

or is it indonesian???but the point is that sultan means king...

[clutchoconnor]

yeah, i know. it was a joke. you are obviously far too anally retentive to appreciate it

[yarienkimarche]

The word "sultan" is not malay or indonesian,

it's a word from the ottoman empire, so it's

turkish

[xtii]

Cool!

[ChasinBoppola]

[xl13lx]
