This is not the original video of this song. The video of the sports action is great, but has nothing to do with the story line in the song. I have seen the original in which "Johnny" looks like he is playing "1950s" rock-n-Roll in the London Tubes. Anyone know where we can find the original? Thanks.
For me, Gizzardpin, this is one of the ALL TIME GREAT videos !!!!!!!!!!! Makes me feel good just to watch it. Because it's a great video and it also goes back to a "better, easier, happier" way of life in our history !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FABULOUS on all fronts.
@fairportfan2 ..the original is a boring video of a guy playing his guitar next to a tunnel..this is sooo much better..and also got sense with the lyrics
@fairportfan2 the other video is sooo european boring..that is not even easy to find it cuz nobody wants to upload it ....they did this kind of video cuz the singer loved the diversity of sports in the usa ...that was he said in rock magazine
As much as I really love Dire Straits, I have to admit that Walk Of Life is that rarist of things - a CHEERFUL Dire Straits song! Here in the UK, fans ate it up: it reached number 2 in the charts, the highest Dire Straits ever went on home turf.
LOVE IT!!

@jeanmanuel77 You are joking, right?
The original video is about what the song is about; this thing is just lame.
I guess they figured that USAians were too dense to appreciate the original and did this.
Apparently they were right.
