@BettyK1958 Swear words are good and as long as they are used in the right context. you are right about how there are a lot of crap songs out today but the beautiful thing about music is that what is good or not is your own personal opinion. and god doesnt exist.
@alpasel3003 before I say this, I will respect you by saying that you have the right to your opinion. now, this is a fuckin great song, it won a Grammy, and mark knopfler is the greatest singer/song writer/guitarist of all time. why would you dislike it in even the most insignificant way?
If you know anything about Mark you will know he is a songwriter and writes about life. This song was written after he came to America and passed a major electrical outlet with wall to wall TV's all tuned to the MTV station, when a gruff delivery guy came in and the lyrics in despute here are the comments the delivery guy made about all the acts he saw on the MTV. Mark sat down in the shop and wrote the lyrics there and then in the store.
yah really eh? especially when he did the song with elton john on more than one occasion....everyone whos angry with this song can fuck right off...you giving the word more negative power than it originated....buch o fags!
some of my best friends are gay, they wern't offended at all, so what the fuck is up with these people complaining, its a song from 25 years ago, dont like it, shut up
@over9000gamin funny how the chicks for free part wasn't complained about. But then again, women don't play the victim card anywhere near as much as the faggots do.
And yes this arose just from one complaint, musta been a faggot of course. AH how the world is being ruled by hyper sensitive groups like blacks, faggots and jews LOL
@dlaps2000 Ever notice in countries even with a tiny Jew minority, there is so much political correctness? Meanwhile in Israel, they want to kick out illegal immigrants LOL
I guess the CBSC is going to have to ban John Lennon's "Give Peace A Chance". That will be the day I pack up and move somewhere that uses common sense... like Iraq.
Well about 99% of Canada doesn't like the censoring of this song. In fact, it was one person who called in to a Newfoundland radio station and complained about it. Local radio stations have protested against the CBSC ruling as well as a general intrest from the public to not ban or censor it.
People marrying them now join the ranks of the cultist pedophile hiding within the Catholic church, and other various corpo-TV evanglicals that work to fulfill lucifers sick and twisted vision. These false prophets are here. Which is why sane parents who love and care for what is left of our childrens morale future, aren't buying into the whole "everything will be better" media mafia con game and are homes schooling their children.
All those F-bombs at the TO pooh parade opened alot of eye's.
I'm Canadian and I have heard this song many times on radio or at a dance and I never heard the word faggot in the song or queenie until someone bitched and brought it to my attention. This song is from the 70's right? Why start now with getting banned from the radio because some guy had a bitch fit. I still like the song.
@BettyK1958 it's from 80's actually, but there's no difference, fagot was fully socially acceptable in that time, and now it seems society is moving to Orvel's '84 and this could be the first step
damn, the pure essence of R'N'R banned !!! where this world is going? I mean, what has happened in CANADA yesterday (not China, Iraq or somewhere like that) is a SHAME !
I'm Canadian, I think we're going backwards with censorship all because some found the word offensive. Next the Gov't will be telling you the words you are allow to say, text or you will be fined or jailed.
Well, I never thought I'd say this but, as of January 13th 2011 I am ASHAMED to say I'm Canadian. Ashamed to be a part of the same country that is taking part in banning art in any form. Ashamed to be part of a country whose government INSISTS they know what's right for ME! A government that even entertains the thought of removing "offensive" words from classic pieces of work such as "faggot" from "Money for Nothing" or "nigger" from "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" is doomed to fail.
@aldude99 sad sad day and im a newfie. god only knows what song they will attack next. bad enough to be censored on the radio but if wanted to play in public will end in the same result.
@aldude99 the most nuts part of all of this is that this song has been playing on the fucking radio for 25 YEARS - a quarter century - and someone says something now????? LMAO
@aldude99 Before you know it Canada will be like Russia where God forbid we picked our nose and we get in trouble for that. Where does the government get off telling us how to live,what to do or not so,what song should be played or not. The songs that are out today with swear words in them should be banned from the radio. They are all crap songs.
Their commie-like campaign are here and it will continue till critics are shut up, discredited, and silenced. They control all media, run the military in the US and Canada, politicks, and entertainment from music to movies, and now our schools. But, they are part of the plan for global government, so it's not about rights, or offences, it's about redefining truth and censoring all critics so that the militant homosexual community can be comfortable in their lifestyle with being disturbed.
This song is no longer allowed on Canadian radio airwaves because it contains the word faggot in the lyrics. They can play the song but only the edited version.
This really pisses me off, not only because i grew up listening to this song but every day Canada is becoming more and more like China with the censorship policy that my (!) government is slowly and quietly implementing. Sad. Just sad
HOMOPHOBIC GAYS GOT THAT WRONG SRY LOL DONT KNOW THE TERM FOR GAYS WHO DONT LIKE STRAIGHT PEOPLE sry did,nt know i was shouting songs and lyrics leave it
if you over analise every lyric on every song ever im sure u could come up with all sort of chit but all u chip on there shoulder gay people ,,Are looking for it .grow up and learn to live with people who are not gay stop being homaphobic to straight people
I thought the lyric went "That little faggot got his own jet airplane/That little faggot he's a millionare" tha fuck is up with this queeny bullshit???
is it just me or is he NOT using a wah pedal here? I remember him saying once he forgot that he used a wah pedal in this song when he did weird al's version. Either way, what a sweet version...more true to the original than most of the other live versions....not a complaint, just an observation :) MK rocks!
Ok let's face it, Dire straits is band from U.K. but WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED WITH AMERICA...After great history of rock and roll, blues, jazz, comes some disney bitch and she becomes more popular then some bands that cannot be replayed anymore
@guitarplayerk11 I know, trash is usa's origin, but these new generations listen to rap shit and disney stars, i bet more that 80% percent of generation born in second half of 90's doesn't know about deep purple,zzs, bb king, jimmi and others
@MrHeavysteel Actually, I'm 14, and I prefer Clasic Rock, Thrash, and Power Metal over rap and alternative. Look at my list of favorite artists on my page. My favorite guitarist is Eric Clapton, and my favorite band is AC/DC.
The reason why they put that verse in the song is because the fashion back then was basically find women's clothing and wear it. They're not trying to be offensive, they're making fun of the people who make fun of them.
This was my uncles favorite song. It's hard to believe he's been gone for 6 and a half years. I miss him dearly, you still remain my hero uncle d. wish you were still here, but i know your in a better place now.
It's just a bunch of left wing douchbags saying that faggot is an "intolerant word" and should not be allowed. So the assholes replaced the lyrics with queeny. What the fuck is wrong with this nation if you can't even exersise your freedom of speech anymore? I'm not homophobic but I'm just saying that people should be allowed to express themselves freely without getting harrased by the media or anybody else for that matter.
@sabbath5678 Good comment, but don't say that it is left wing douchebags who are calling faggot an "intolerable word" if anything, it's nut jobs who stand far to the right as well as religious groups and those who want to censor everything they don't like. befor you go accusing the left, learn about the right.
@sabbath5678 And now this song is banned from the airwaves in Canada, just because one person took offense to the word "faggot." The word "faggot" isn't even being used in that context in this song. Just blows my mind.
