fuck "dub-step" build ups and drops, this riff is the ultimate into to any song!

[Isle41]

anyone know a video thats uncensored and with the video?

[regularperson7]

At the time faggot meant gay, homo. But it was used sarcastically in the song like yea I may have beaten that fag up in school but now he's a millionaire and I work for rooms to go

[Ionamckellar]

I don't give a fuck what yous all think of this song.. My dad loved theys guy! And after he died I still listen to this to cheer me up, and tbh? Fuck the haters at least he died with a sense of music.. Rip Clive mckellar forever loved and never forgotten !

[stitches611]

ahhh who cares no one likes em queers anywho, nah i dont got nothin against gays, just as long as they dont try coming on to me

[screechingcoxy]

this is the gayest song i've ever heard

[RawlerVideos]

@screechingcoxy then fuck off : ))

[jhmoonman]

Color tveeeeeee🎵🎶🎵🎶love it!!! (The original version )

[Ex77Thruxton]

I love the way that Knopfler is so busy playing the guitar (not drums) that he just talks. Epically casual.

[TheKingKiller11]

pk cette video serait censuré?

[cameronlykins]

All of you little faggots shut the fuck up. Who gives a shit if some queer gets offended.

[l4d2160]

Why should this be censored? I've heard other bands play worse.

[coywmoore]

@l4d2160 Yeah, Really I've heard a lot worse right here on YouTube !

[zeizee]

If i say someone is faggot, i dont mean that he's gay. Faggot dont mean you are gay. Faggot means you are asshole, son of a bitch, shithead etc. And why am i telling this??

[Caoshunter23]

The song is about a working class guy who's watching mtv and making fun of the guys that are dressed like chicks. It has nothing to do with gays. So when people say they get offended it makes me want to yell at them. They don't under stand what context the song is using. Plus the song one of the best guitar riff's of all time.

[coywmoore]

@Caoshunter23 Hell, People are offended by everything this day and time !!!

[emkyca]

i love dire straits thanks to my dad playing em while i grew up love pink floyd too :D

[Jmoneypimpndtown]

@emkyca one time when i was younger dad wouldnt let me be in the house he had this playing so loud. 

[wreno2004]

The meanest guitar rift of all time.

Mark Knopfler is genius.

[datpinkzeppelin]

I don't get why saying faggot like 2 3 times is bad, when people say these words all the time, just because someones gay doesn't mean they should go fucking touchy feely on us and ban words, bunch of bull shit

[MystikWizard]

@datpinkzeppelin

The problem is that calling a Gay person a "faggot" is the equivalent of calling a Black person a "Nigger". It is just inappropriate and something that isn't acceptable in every day language. Saying that other people use the term all the time is not an acceptable excuse, as that is something else that needs to change, and fortunately slowly is changing.

[fremmaddict]

@MystikWizard faggot



[MezzoForteAnonymousX]

@MystikWizard You're such a faggot..........

[MystikWizard]

@MezzoForteAnonymousX

What's your point? 

[Th3Professor]

@MystikWizard Blah blah blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah. We "white people" can't call a black person nigger , but they can call themselves nigger and then it's okay? Same thing with fags: heterosexuals can't call a fag a fag, because it's wrong. But fags can say fag to another fag, that's okay.

Seriously, what's the big deal? I'm not complaining about people calling me a nerd, neither do I think only nerds can call fellow geeks "nerds".

I say "life your own life" and stop caring what other people call you.

[MystikWizard]

@Th3Professor

I will say that I think you make too many assumptions with Blacks and Gays. I dare say that an overwhelming number of Black people object to the use of the term "Nigger" even within their own race. Same with Gays calling each other "Fag" (which is something I have never once found any Gay person to condone the term's use amongst one another).

Just because some people find its use acceptable within their class, don't assume that the majority does. I assure you, they don't.

[Th3Professor]

@MystikWizard Reappropriation.

That's all I got to say to that.

[HeyZeus096]

@datpinkzeppelin Faggot is just a bundle of sticks... Honestly these people.....

[NotYourAverageJoe321]

@datpinkzeppelin i know rappers like lil wayne and them say it atleast 5 times in all major songs and they actually mean it as faggot, like in discrminatory towards homosexuals and nobody cares when they say it, its ridiculous how ppl can get mad at dire straits for it

[garfieldwithissuez]

I don't get it, they use the word Faggot in the same way green day did 20 years later. and before that Mel Brooks in blazing saddles had the townspeople dropping the "N" word the same way, it is from the point of view of in ignorant person. It in fact not used in a hateful way but as satire.

[HipsterEatinShark]

TOPTACO, not really...lol. This came out in '84, dude.

[AZKMF]

@HipsterEatinShark and what is your fucking point? 84 is in the 80s

[HipsterEatinShark]

@AZKMF My fucking point? Do you know how much makeup Motley Crue wore in 84? (And '85, and '86, and '87)? Probably not, I'm guessing.

[jconner228]

@TeteFutuito asshole

[zerfer]

One of the best intro buildups in history

[backyardsounds]

THANK YOU FOR NOT BEING POLITICALLY CORRECT!!!

Seriously, thanks.

[Carcajou45]

C'est la meilleur version :)

[pchapman905]

How do people not understand that he's singing in CHARACTER?

[davidreefer]

what's most annoying is that the censorship completely ignores the context in the song. He's literally referring to himself as a faggot, from the persona of the kitchen delivery man.

[TeteFutuito]

I'm a faggot and I love this song.

[ICantTriforce]

@TeteFutuito fag

[TOPTACO]

This forced Motley Crue to stop wearing makeup in the 80s.

[stitches611]

@TOPTACO either that or the dude looks like a lady song, :)

[umumgot]

@TOPTACO i highly doubt that

[jordyyyyy3]

maby get a blister on your finger :P:P

[MezzoForteAnonymousX]

Nice!.

[bertcocaine]

Official statement from them:

'Still, the Panel concludes that, like other racially driven words in the English language, “faggot” is one that, even if entirely or marginally acceptable in earlier days, is no longer so.'

So 'faggot' is a RACIALLY driven word? How homophobic is it to suggest that homosexuals are a SEPARATE RACE!?

[janwalsh1000]

I love this song, to bad some people have to be stupid about the lyrics.

[a1wwwwww]

I want my money for nothin, fuck MTV.

[BADAMSBABE]

1:36 - the guitar is like "who's your daddy.."

[HurzMurz]

1:36 1:36 1:36 1:36 1:36

[adrianwaj]

I think the song's referring to David Geffen. Forgot where I heard it.

[KaptainKwasnik]

@adrianwaj I heard Motley Crue

[adrianwaj]

@KaptainKwasnik David's the little faggot at 2:50

[KaptainKwasnik]

@adrianwaj I hope you're right because I love Motley Crue!

[TurboDude9111]

Amazing song love the intro and lyrics. Blast this in my car.

[1danyol1]

this is ben bernanke's favorite song

[TheBlacksabbathfan9]

Haha the guitar has " F holes" lol oh btw I agrreyou fucking homes gotta lay off so what faggot, faggot faggot

[Badass58344]

I would just like to say one thing: GAYS NEED TO STFU AND STOP BEING ALL SENSITIVE AND SHIT, AND STOP GETTING GOOD MUSIC CENSORED JUST BECAUSE IT USES THE WORD 'FAGGOT'. BIG FUCKING DEAL. IDGAF IF YOU GUYS FUCK WITH OTHER GUYS, BUT WHEN YOU FUCK WITH MY MUSIC, I GET FUCKIN PISSED. ALLCAPS

[MissSmurfett1]

WHY SKIP THE INTRO , THE WHOLE SONG IS FUCKING COOL  , so why don't the person's who take the piss out this song go fuck off AND DO ONE

[josh18230]

UNBANNED FAGS

[nolantom63]

I remember hearing this song on a "Tempest " carnival ride at a county fair many years back .

[raysetiger285]

@263Shakeandbake how did you get that? I wouldent have called that?

[Dannyamir]

;-) the real thing, as created by MK, and how cool that Sting is backing up Mark's vocals.

[EvrCleeR]

COLOR TEEEVEEEEE fuck yeah!

[Hamyyz]

Skip to 1:30 to start the intro

[MyMalusi]

DE LA BOMBE



[zeizee]

@263shakeandbake so says nikki sixx, aint heard that from knopflers mouth though. Guess this song is about all of 80's glam metal bands, like rat, warrant and those.

[MrCharoff]

gay people? being sensitive about something? who the FUCK could have foreseen something like that?

[Parmenides480BC]

Thank god government censorship hasn't stopped ALL real versions of this song from existing.

[ClanKlan]

The guitar is so sharp I could shave with the notes

[EHXGUY]

Why does this sound an octave higher. Still good but WTF!

[TheAlmost96]

love th guitar intro <3 1:35 best intro ever

[CaitlynSmith8]

they play this version in edmonton on k97 you serious cant play it because it says faggot thats stupid

[Chrisgottschalk2]

Anyone else thought that youtube is pretty much this generation's equivalence to MTV? I mean let's face it, Facebook, Youtube, and texting are pretty much this generation's main fads.

5 years ago? Myspace. Major fad. One of the biggest fads of all time.

[kd4adv]

Richmond (VA) radio station WWLB / Liberty 98.9 cuts out the verse with the word "Faggot".

They also cut short "Sweet Home Alabama".

Faggot refers to a part of cigarette in UK slang. The society uses it as a non-related slur towards gays or just about anyone. 

[muh1h1]

cab someone give me a downloadlink? i know, i could download this from youtube, but the quality istn't good enough...

[Fe4Ver]

Eargasms

[urbuoymatt21]

Okay all the arguments are valid on both sides of this situation.... But is it just me or is this an argument that SHOULD have been made like 20 years ago??? I'm embarrased that some little f a g g o t in Newfoundland can write a letter(20 years late right) and have an awesome song censured.... F*#*ing political correctness

[Monkers52]

Apparently this guy wants his Mtv..

[foxeh123]

i like the "Dont stand so Close to me" reference

[valleyxox]

haha! they play the uncensored version in miami florida..i was listening to it in the car the other day with my mother.... xD

[neoursa]

Faggot version rules

[AlbertaJessie]

Even if it DID mean gay person, if they dont like the names they get called, perhaps they should crawl back into the closet where they belong.

[umalacha]

This song is about how the "regular working man" saw the rock star on MTV when it first came out. The "faggot" remarks are how he, the regular working man, perceived the rock star, with his long hair, make-up, earring(s), etc. The last verse is the regular man realizing he should have learned to play the guitar so that he could be making "money for nothing" and getting a "check for free" instead of busting his rump 40 hrs/wk for pay nowhere comparable to the rock star.

[umalacha]

@umalacha That's why the censoring of this song is so stupid.

[jeffhardy55]

Only Q104 of Halifax Nova Scotia Canada will play this version on the radio because that we do it out here

[PoopyMcSmelly]

holy shit i found a version that actually has good sound quality

[glue33090]

@PoopyMcSmelly haha yeah don't u hate all the shitty 240p ones?

[harano132]

awesomr

[antonisbob]

They should play this version on the Radio.

[Dracoa79]

@antonisbob

The local Classic Rock station where I live does play this version.

[Revan343]

@antonisbob They do. :)

[BulldogsRule12]

@antonisbob

Just heard it today on the radio totally uncensored. ; p Kudos to the station.

[antonisbob]

@BulldogsRule12

Nice! :D

[2112rushfanforever]

@antonisbob They played this version on my local radio station today. And it was awesome :)

[clscrock]

@antonisbob they do

[doodlecheesebug2]

@antonisbob If I ever become a radio DJ, I'll fulfil your wish and play this version of an all-time great song on the radio. :) *gives thumbs up*

[antonisbob]

@doodlecheesebug2

Groovy! Little did I know I even had 1 thumbs up, haha...

[alphabetagenciessuck]

@antonisbob They do play it on Rock 101 WROQ.

[CocteauDalighari]

@antonisbob @The height of its popularity (c. 1985), they did!

[cosita010793]

Dont see why ppl get mad if this song was to poke fun at the glam rock scene

[Aintfirsturlast]

and it has nothing to do w/ gays

[Aintfirsturlast]

Here are too young to realize that this song is is not about selling tv's... Or microwaves... All you posters are so young, and stupid

[Aintfirsturlast]

Read the comments. Realized that most people b

[HardRockRecords]

Really it doesn't make sense to ban this from radio . It's a joke , I have nothing against gay people but get a life , there are much better things to worry about than a stupid song. That's like saying we don't like music that gay people listen to , so that should be banned from the radio.

[samthedog123]

It's fucking gay you can't find this on c.d. Liberal p.c. Puss bags suck 7

[kingamer19]

I wish I had back my Mtv

[robfergusonjr]

Down with the gays! Tryin' to change the manly ways! One day you will pay!

[hurrimahoers]

@robfergusonjr A gay person is not trying to change "the manly ways", such a statement implies that every straight person is manly. Now, if you honestly think that every straight person is manly, then I dare you to actually watch MTV. The irony is that the gay community has a slang term for very big hair men, called "bears". No matter how you define what "manly" is, you'll be including both gay and straight people regardless.

[robfergusonjr]

@hurrimahoers INCORRECT! manly includes makin' love to women only ... chuckles.

[releitse88]

@robfergusonjr Continue thinking in your ignorant little bubble..

[rgallows]

Screw the CRTC!

[supernagro]

when this song was made faggot still meant gay person, nowadays it means undesirable cocky retard who thinks their way cooler than they are

[nitr0burn]

@supernagro: Don't assume your life experience is the same as everyone else you're just another ignorant prick.

[BlutHound]

Heard this song on the radio this moring fuckinging pissed that its censored, thnx for the uncensored song!

[Southparker100000000]

Fucking Canadian government, faggot doesn't mean gay person

[BaschOria]

@Southparker100000000 it actually does.

[KimRobinRisvi]

@BaschOria It means an Iggnorant Gay person that's way over his head of think that he's better than other's and are Beutifull cause he is gay. So it Technical dosen't mean all gay people

[Southparker100000000]

@BaschOria Since when? It's been a derogatory term synonymous with "asshole" wince the 60s.

[lukerjf12]

@Southparker100000000 blame the Gay Activist people they got the song censored

[Southparker100000000]

@lukerjf12 Actually it was the CBSC's over reaction to a single letter from an asshole hipster.

[twillyXD1]

@Southparker100000000

hehe... I think in this case it does but who cares!!! I think it exposes the type of people that work for the CRTC with the Canadian ban

[Southparker100000000]

@twillyXD1 I don't think in the song he was actually alluding to homosexuals. The song is sung from the perspective of an under appreciated cable man, and the word is used more as a direct insult to the alleged "singer on the MTV" than as a derogatory term against gay people. It's used more as a synonym for "jerk" in this context, and since any word to be offensive requires context, how could anybody but jerks and people who don't understand the song be offended by this?

[BulldogsRule12]

@Southparker100000000

Even if it did mean gay it should be someone's right to say what they want without censorship.

[mrzisawesome]

@Southparker100000000 it's unbanned now, the idiots at the crtc realized the error of their ways

[ontariobuds]

@Southparker100000000 hey relax, it's alright friend

"In January 2011, the Canadian Broadcast Standards Council (CBSC) ruled that the unedited version of the song was unacceptable for air play on private Canadian radio stations, as it breached the Canadian Association of Broadcasters' (CAB) Code of Ethics and their Equitable Portrayal Code"

[Str8Murder]

@Southparker100000000

Damn right. Know plenty of gay people who use faggot all the time and understand the difference. A faggot is... a faggot.

[smartguy301]

@Southparker100000000 its means a pile f sticks

[Mallet224]

See that little faggot with the earing and the makeup..

Long live Money for Nothing!

[ApocalyptZz]

Epic, thx for this amazing song!

[MrBuckwilliam]

most excellent :)
