@kdigiorgio no point in wasting a good tune is there?

That's Jeff Beck playing guitar on that track.

This song is so hauntingly beautiful. It made you really appreciate the life of a Stripper or Private Dancer. Thanks Tina.

Eventually, lyrics goes in same style.
In "Love over gold" it goes: "
It takes love over gold and mind over matter to do what you do that you must"
In Private dancer it goes: "I'm your private dancer, a dancer for money
I'll do what you want me to do
I'm your private dancer, a dancer for money
And any old music will do.
For me Love over Gold sounds like "Private Dancer pt.2." LoG is much darker and sadder...

Dire Straits without Mark Knopfler. You wouldn't think it was possible, but they really made it work. Of course Tina's great vocals and Jeff Becks solo complete the track. Mark never played or sang on the official / released version.

The sax solo is sick!!!

Já pensaram que, às vezes, basta uma canção que se goste muito para sorrir? E como sorrir muitas vezes com pequenas coisas melhora o nosso dia-a-dia?
Que a próxima semana seja a sorrir, para ser bastante melhor que as anteriores. Bem precisamos dessa melhoria... Relembrar como a vida é bela! Esta canção deixa-me a sorrir.
Portugal loves you, Tina!

@2442Random Well.. I made an error... Mark said that "there is a version I worked up, it's slower, moodier, more Laidbackreflective. A quiet portrait, but I don't think people need to hear that now" - that in itself says a lot about the man)...

blogs/blog-on-the-tracks/28395 17/The-Mark-Knopfler-Interview Here's the original interview, but there's nothing of Mark's thoughts on Private Dancer... So, I can't be sure of my last posts facts. Them might be Mark's thoughts or blogwriters opinions...
@ripper1975
If you really like this particular one, listen to the Dire Straights song "Love Over Gold".
The chorus of this song is the bridge of the that song. Had Mark not written both, he'd have sued himself! :)
