Lyrics:
You get a shiver in the dark
It’s raining in the park but meantime
South of the river you stop and you hold everything
A band is blowing Dixie double four time
You feel all right when you hear that music ring
You step inside but you don’t see too many faces
Coming in out of the rain to hear the jazz go down
Too much competition too many other places
But not too many horns can make that sound
Way on downsouth way on downsouth London town
You check out Guitar George he knows all the chords
Mind he’s strictly rhythm he doesn’t want to make it cry or sing
And an old guitar is all he can afford
When he gets up under the lights to play his thing
And Harry doesn’t mind if he doesn’t make the scene
He’s got a daytime job he’s doing alright
He can play honky tonk just like anything
Saving it up for Friday night
With the Sultans with the Sultans of Swing
And a crowd of young boys they’re fooling around in the corner
Drunk and dressed in their best brown baggies and their platform soles
They don’t give a damn about any trumpet playing band
It ain’t what they call rock and roll
And the Sultans played Creole
And then the man he steps right up to the microphone
And says at last just as the time bell rings
‘Thank you goodnight now it’s time to go home’
and he makes it fast with one more thing
‘We are the Sultans of Swing'

Mark Knopfler is one of the greatest guitarists of all time, in my opinion.
I never get tired of listening to this solo.
Yea I totally agree his skills are unique and unmatched
It's a shame the video cuts the majority of the second (and best) solo out.
@@tehcyde I know, right
@@tehcyde Really.
he's a great guitarist in the most untechnical and unsophisticated sense. i.e. if you're incapable of exploring guitar into the technical realms like metal and jazz, then it is incredibly easy to see why you think he can be such a candidate for one of the goats
Who's listening in 2024!?❤
Me & you
Me right now)
Who's listening in 3782??
I'll leasing to this masterclass until I die
👍🏼
I had forgotten how good Dire Straits were - this is pure musical genius
right. such an awesome groove the get in.
Yes he’s awesome; like his guitarplaying and voice

Absolutely phenomenal ❤️
50 years of stage presence without any big frills, jumping around or showmanship. Pure brilliant music that I can listen to every day
The Sultans of Swing has got to be one the best all-time songs of our lives!
It is
It really is along with a few others and some tom petty songs bob dylan etc for me
No doubt
Realmente é das melhores
Top demais!!!
I played this song in the middle of the night,,, ,, my father came and slapped me coz the volume was goddam low...
haha .. good one bro !!!!!
😂😂 you made my night 😂😂😂
Hahahahahhahaah
AWESOME
rkneetez singh ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ haha!
I’m 84 and play this constantly.
I'm a guitarist I've played this song with my brother though my bro was the lead guitarist
Oh my uncle is 84s too but he is in his wheelchair
@@jacshaariselamat9186 teach him how to walk noob 🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐😫😫
I should learn guitar once I finish my degree. No time at the moment. So annoying.
I'm 80 and love this stuff, then and now.
Mark Knopfler is a criminally underrated guitarist, musician, and virtuoso. That solo is top 5 all time in my opinion.
I agree with you man🤟🤟🤟 and he’s my favourite artist too!
Shame they fade it out in this video!
he do not like fame at all. he is a monk of music
Dude, the whole song is a solo. It's in the top 3 man
Not sure he's underrated. Isn't he acknowledged as a virtuoso?
There's something about this song... I don't want it to end.
It's a masterpiece, nothing I have heard quite captures exactly what I feel like when I listen to it
captivating,, I am 50 years old now...you wouldn't believe the feelings we get when the track was first realesed in my younger years.
I'm envious of that.
Seldom do I have that feeling for songs released nowadays.
Classic rock seems to still be the best genre.
Just swing.
You are a person of class
Mark Knopfler - one of the greatest guitarists of all time!!! Incredible
I agree. What astonishes me is how he was underrated as a player. This guy had it all and I will always consider him a genius. His talent is so unique and to me, no one can convince me that he’s not one of the best to ever play a guitar.
he has music sense and those big stage balls y'know
The bassist holds it all together like magic
The 20,000 70s song that was a head of its time lol
Tudo muito harmónico. Ouça a bateria : perfeita! Todos perfeitos, inclusive a voz do Mark.
This song never ends. It keeps playing inside your head for hours.
And that's a good thing ;)
One of my all time favorites
ใช่, ผมก็รู้สึกเช่นนั้น
@@user-vc2ys2wf5l😂🎉
ikr
You can tell how good someone is at anything by how effortlessly they do something difficult. Mark makes it look easy. Genius!
46 years later, if you’re watching this, you’re a legend.
I'm a legend love this song
Spinge ancora ❤
I´ll give it a like in 46 years from now. I´ll be 79 by then. I hope to live that long. matter of fact, ill give you the like because i don´t know if I´ll be here by then. HAHAHAHA
not only watching, my jam band is learning it, sweet bass line for me!
Right here with you. This song bit me in the summer of 1979...I'll be 63 in 2 days and I'm still lovin' this piece of music.
I was listening to this in 78 when it was on the radio. I'm 71 now and still in Love with it!
Me too 71' !
Moving on with my morning Ishialgya pain !
But only in the early spring.
When it gets warmer I am OK .
Esses caras tinham uma pegada boa de guitarra... Não entendeu! Aciona o tradutor kk Hasta la vista baby.. Calm my back no spinking inglês
I’m 75 and still love it
I’m 19 and I love this 🔥❤️❤️❤️
Im only 18 and this is my favorite song right now.
I love how the guitar solo feels so clean and not over the top it really fits with the calm vibe of the song
Well said!
Just masterful right?!
this is so true!
I turn it as loud as it goes
Without pick.
We love a good beefy tune
Mark knoplers guitar skills bring me to tears.
Plays some of the most beautiful melodies.
I dont think he gets the credit he deserves.
He gets a lot of credit. Anyone who knows anything about electric guitar players usually consider him to be one of the best at it.
Their collaborative "Neck & Neck" was definitively bona fide. Why Chet Atkins didn't bestow C.G.P.-status upon Mark Knopfler (& certain other notables)...we'll just never know...
Oh he does
Y'all gotta stop asking who is still listening. This is timeless
frrrr
Thank you for saying this.

yeah, but who is still listening in 2024
Definitely
Simply one of the best songs I've ever heard.
Must have listened over 1000 times driving in my car never gets old
IT'S TRUE.

Keep it up
Hi, I'm 58 and I was 12 when I first heard it. I've been a Mark fan ever since!
I am 67 years old and I still love it
Swing on, Vern!
Желаю вспомнить этот момент в 102, дядя!
not everyone can play guitar AND sing like that, mark has a talent
search up john butler funky tonight... he's got bloody talent
no offence to mark he's a great guitarist but he is only playing chords when he is singing
The problem with singing and playing is not about the chords, it's all abouth RYTHM.
The right hand is what matters.
If you pay attention, John Butler is always fingering a fast and repeated pattern when he's singing, except for a slower riff at some point. Nothing different than what Mark Knopfler is doing. They're both great musicians. Talent? I'd say it's more about practice till perfection.
Also, Mark is left-handed but his right hand is incredible.
Peace.
Ethan Tomlinson I don't think you understand how hard sultans of swing is to play
Ethan Tomlinson why I am allowed to say that
Ethan Tomlinson why I am allowed to say that
Their first album is a masterpiece.
Preach!
Music doesn't get better than this. Timeless classic.
My grandfather always played this song for me. he would sit me down and tell me "son, the era may be over, but the song will live forever." Now that he's passed, this song means so much more to me now. i miss you grandpa
He was right
Thanks for reminding me!
My grandkids are about the right age.
I'm on it!
He was right. Music from this era, Dire Straits, Warren Zevon, Gordon Lightfoot, John Prine, etc, just hits differently.
When you produce a sound this good, it crosses continents races and generations. People who live well after I die will enjoy this just as much. That's the power of a class band.
ABSOLUTELY, CLASS WILL OUT.

That is my defence, apart from an army band lyre, against an Amish condemnation of music as ‘Dionisiac’: Nietzsche uses the term to mean “ecstatic nutter”. What you are describing is why we can be proud of our commitment to it - ‘Apollonian’: the rational considered *mind*

@@dpnapes5424In just 6 months?
I don’t know how Mark Knopfler can play like this. No pick used gives the most soothing sound.
Imagine how solid the skin is on that thumb
I hate playing with a plectrum
The drummer in the back just vibing is so funny to me
My parents were in their teens when they had me, so I was raised on 70s Classic Rock vinyl. My dad cherished his collection, pampered it, lol. I remember laying on the living room floor feeling the vibrations from the speakers. It never ceases to amaze me the emotions that can be triggered by a song. Dad passed 3 months ago at only 67. This song will forever elicit waves of precious memories for this girl.
Sorry for the passing of your dad, He will be smiling down on you for playing his fav songs , Your dad had great taste in music .
From another 67 year old - I agree! Those were the times of real music. Remember your dad through his songs
Вибрации акустики!!!!🔊🔊🔊👍👍👍
I am sincerely regretful for your loss. But it's wonderful that you told this story. I'm a solid baby boomer. I'm 63. There was so much wonderful music during the time that I grew up. And this is part of it bless you and again I'm sorry for your loss
My Condolences on the passing of Your Dad. He sounded like a Pretty Cool Dude! 🕊❤️🎸 🌹
As I become older the more i appreciate this song, calling it a masterpiece would be an understatement
1000% in agreement with you and 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍....and going on...
Fantastic!!! I fully agree
Excellent guitar play accompanied by an excellent bassline that you can hear punch through the mix.
There really isn't anything to dislike about the song.

67 here. Our generation got the best music. There will never be any better.
Gotta get some beers. This is the old blues rock ❤❤❤
one of my favorites and still listen to it at 73 years of age. I really miss all the deceased friends.
Pour one out for all them 🥃
Greetings from Greece
I hear you brother.

Y es la nostalgia que nos trae a todos 😢 nos recuerda los años pasados con esa gente que nos fue acompañando en la vida

Who’s listening April 2024?
Time travellers only

Knoffler kicks ass. Best guitarist and vocals
Can never get tired of this great song. Have been hearing it for 45 years
👍
Loud of course
El ritmo es unico
Agree. Can't stop playing whenever I can 🎶🎶🎶.
Vivid memory of the first time I heard this. Same Pink Floyd’s Pigs 👍👍
My dad loved this band, he played it a million times it seemed. He died last week, and now this song is one of the memories I have and keep with me.
Miss you dad! Thanks for the memories!
😎😎😎😎
It's bitter sweet how a song can make you feel someone you love close to you or bring back a memory. Sorry for your loss.
Rip bro ❤️❤️❤️
sorry for your loss
Miss you too son. I'll be waiting here for you. Take your time, don't rush, but when it is time we will listen to records again - Love you more than you can ever understand, Dad
Best era of music industry ever
Listening in April 2024...classic tune..
The definition of authenticity. One of the greatest songs ever written!
Love this song too❤️
I agree 👍
Listen "Signos" of Soda Stereo
My dad took us for a summer camp in 1994 when me and my brother were 11-12 years old and we drove from Newcastle in the UK to Blackpool, then Wales and then to London and he played this song constantly, arguably the best summer of my life. Now whenever I hear it, I think of that trip.

This has to be one of the coolest songs ever created. There's just something about it that's magical and will never go out of style.
Magic❤❤❤❤❤

It's my favourite song of all time and I have never been able to analyse it like you have just done. Thank you. By the way (and I know your answer to this) does it really really hack you off when DJ's and anyone else playing this song (including people uploading it to youtube) fade it out way way too early?

When music was grand. Classic
40 YEARS later after first hearing this song, and it's one of the few that causes me to pause and listen...no matter what I'm doing. Holy cow, one of the best songs ever, any genre.

It was November 18, 1978, my birthday, and I thought I would give myself a gift. I went into a record store looking for something country-type, the manager told me that they didn't have anything like that, while I was looking for something that caught my attention, They played Sultans of Swing by Dire Straits, immediately upon hearing it I said to myself, “I want it”, I love it, from that day to date I have followed and bought everything that Mark Knopfler has done, his way of playing the guitar fascinates me, his style is immediately recognizable, it is unique.
💯
My birthday is the 28th! I was born in 02 though
Mine is the 16th.
Я тоже 18 ноября родилась 1978 года🎉
One day before the Miracle In The Meadowlands
All the way from Africa. Amazing guitar work
I worked thru High School , at a Gulf Service Station, in Ohio ! I worked the night shift , till closing! WMMS, was King of Fm radio! The location was fantastic for activity! The Corral, Agoura, Coliseum, Flats , Vic's , Lincoln Park, Pioneer and of course the Log Cabin .There was a list that went on forever! The service bays, became my concert hall acoustics , Mind blower speakers and DIRE STRAITS! Every time I hear this song , I get taken back , 17 , with a Harley and a smile ! Mark is by
far under rated !
I am eighty years old and I still love this. It is one of my favourite numbers.
Para la buena música no hay edades ,a mi me encanta con 58 y a mi hijo también de 26
Good for you, man! Good taste is immortal. xx
I'm 39 years old and it's my favourite song of all time.
I'm 52. I met this song when I was 16. I still dreams of playing guitar and drum like these sultans. This song still gives me the flow at the guitar climax.(from about 4:15)
DITTO ! And I'm 82 years old.
The lyrics, the sweeping playing, the voice… this is beyond an audial treasure
Mark knopfler is one of the most underrated guitarists of all time.
Legendary guitarist and able to do vocals at the same time.
I agree. Mark knopfler and Ximbinha
No he's not
I am 75 years old today and have lived through such great music! This is one of the BEST. M K' s solo is just the best!
Congratulations !! Greetings from Zaporozhye.🔭🐦
It was the best music, I think, will ever be. They had true talent. Now they let some board make the music. I have tinnitus (ringing ears) and I'm going deaf, but I probably would have anyway. I'd rather believe it's from all of the great loud music I danced to.😊
such great music can make life interesting, i have lived through too, wish you happiness in your life

The Best Song 2024
For years I've been complaining how radio stations keep cutting of the last solo on this track so I never get to hear the best part of this absolutely brilliant track - and now I find out DireStraitsVEVO does the same?! WTF? This track is missing the final (and best) minute - why on earth would you cut that off? The song was too awesome intact?
Because the videos are not uploaded with the enjoyment of listeners in mind. Pretty stupid.
Yeah, but still. It would've required extra effort to create this incomplete and inferior version. Why go to the trouble?
Calle Söderberg Yeah that's weird. I also noticed some of the riffs are a bit off tone.
Absolutely and completely agree Calle
The prodigy
Mark Knopfler sings duets with his guitar, there's no other way to explain it. Truly a genius songwriter and guitarist.
almost gilmour level...almost...
Realmente ele e sua guitarra se tornaram um só.
O cara é um lenda!

Ohhh I love that analogy.

This man is the sultan of guitar. One of the best in his game easily.
Of course
It's so nice to watch him play so beautifully again after so many years. I won't be leaving it so long next time.
after so many years, this song still freak out people until today. absolutely stunning.
Muito boa

My favorite song since 1977, greetings from Kassel, Germany😀
Mark Knopfler didn't make music, he simply opened his soul & let it out❤️🎤🎸
The most incredible song of all time. Remember this was the FIRST song released by Dire Straits, and you can listen a bilion times and never get tired!
True dat.

Thanks for the trivia question .. I didn’t know that
Wow, talk about hitting it out of the park first time at bat.
MONEY FOR NOTHING
Mark Knopfler is one of the greatest guitarists of all time, in my opinion.
Mark has to be one of the smoothest finger style guitarist to live
There is a difference between being able to play an instrument, and being able to make it instrument sing. Mark is one of the few that can bring out their voice.

I can't get over how great of a guitar player Mark Knopfler is, it's second nature to him, like the guitar is a part of his body. Incredible to witness.
I can't get over how these assholes cut off the guitar at the end of the song what the f***

Direr Straits. We've all been there!! ❤
Simplesmente fantástica.❤❤❤
I love how they're so relaxed, really enjoying what they are doing.. I will never tire of this song.
I'd be honored if some Dire Straits fans would take a quick listen to my acoustic piano & vocal YT performance of ON EVERY STREET in tribute to the genius songwriting of Mark Knopfler. Live acoustic with no autotune or digital editing. Peace and stay safe in the '020s.
The magic of grass
They're relaxed because they're not actually playing. They are syncing to the studio recording.
I remember when Dire Straits broke through the boring same old sounds on the radio in 1978 with sultans of swing. It was so refreshing and new. For the next many years they were always a comfort and perhaps inspiration at times. l still love their music.
That Stratocaster sound so sweet,hats of to the sound engineer ❤
How the hell did he write this song? Pure genius. Everything about this song is just perfect - vocal, lyrics, composition, recording, guitar & bass, drums, chord progression and even the title of the song "Sultans of Swing".
He walked into a dive bar in England, heard a band called the Sultans of Swing. Made an awesome song of it.
@Yeshuah757 He couldn't believe the audacity of the jazz band.. They were playing in a dive bar to an audience of 4 people.. I believe his exact words were something like "nobody playing in that band that night was a Sultan of anything let alone swing.." So the greatest rock and roll song ever written is basically making fun of a crappie dive bar jazz band with an ego complex..
I like the “quotations” he plays that kinda match the story ifya get me
One of the best songs ever written. Much more Knopfler is self taught and with no training. Incredible.
Absolute masterpiece! The love, joy, and skill that went into this is forever legendary!
My Dad passed away in February, and this song is my closest link to him. Every time I hear it in whatever pure form it is performed in, it makes me cry. I don't know why, but the line "He can play the honky-tonk like anything" reduces me to tears immediately.
This song is like a wine. The older it gets the better it sounds.❤❤
Definitely!
I think so too 😃🤩✋👍
You're absolutely right!
