Guitar George... he knows ALL the chords... he's strictly rhythm, he doesn't make it cry or sing... which is followed by Knopfler making HIS OWN guitar cry and sing in this song. Finishes off with sarcasm about them announcing their moniker WE ARE THE SULTANS OF SWING... despite the band having done nothing sultan-worthy.

Matthew - exactly. The lyrics are almost just a literary device to keep the melody moving. Each character in the band he describes gives him an opportunity to throw in some really tasty guitar licks to riff off of the character's theme, and still manages to keep the underlying melody going. It is sheer genius from a creative as well as technical standpoint. I remember hearing this song a bunch of times as a younger guy and getting too hung up on the lyrics, so much that I completely missed the entire point... the guitar is doing the singing.

Jamel ~ You asked about the “style”, the genre of this song... first of all, it’s a great question... when the song first came out in the late 70’s, it was unique then, too. At the time, Top 40 radio was playing hard rock, progressive rock, R&B, mellow easy listening, and disco was still breathing... But when “Sultans” came out, it was SO different from everything else; and perhaps that’s part of the reason why it caught the ears of so many listeners; it was unique, and a breath of fresh air. But, part of it (IMO) was also due to the guitar virtuosity of Mark Knopfler on this song (which he also wrote and sings) that really perked up people’s ears. Not only is Knopfler an incredibly tasteful guitar player ( he’s on my list of my top five favorite guitar players, and he can give me chills by playing just one note) but he also has incredible TONE, not a hard, crunchy, distorted rock sound, but clear as a bell with just the hint of an edge. “Sultans” is still hard to categorize, which is why your question is so valid, though if I were forced to label it into any one style/category, I suppose that it now fits into the too wide and too generic category of “classic rock”, (insert eye-rolling emoji here) which just sorta seems to lump a bunch of stuff together from that era of the 60’s and 70’s, whether the songs are of similar styles or not. If you get a chance, listen to the song again, but focus in on just Knopfler’s guitar playing, (both rhythm and solo), and the tone he gets, and you can hear how very tasteful he is with what he chooses to play. His guitar playing never “crowds” his vocal; he chooses the spaces between lyrical phrases to play riffs and segments. A final suggestion... if you want to hear how truly soulful and haunting his guitar work is, listen to Dire Straits’ “Brothers In Arm’s”. If the guitar playing in that song doesn’t give you chills, then, well, you’re just not able to be moved by any music. 😉🙏

Donny, thank you for this informative explanation and plugging in your own opinions on this song, and the band in general. I recently started collecting vinyls and I'm starting with the classics before I catch up to the newer artists. I was given "Brothers in arms" and "On every street" along with a few other records from my dad's friend to get my collection rolling, and I didn't really know what to make of Dire Straits so I really appreciate your insight because it has inspired me to give them an honest listen. I enjoy this guy's reactions, but it would be really great if you would start your own KZitem channel to go into the history of various artists of your time to introduce them to newbies like me. I'd be the first to subscribe! Thank you again uncle Donny lol

Mark Knopfler plays finger style guitar. That's what makes his sound so unique. You can tell when he chooses to pluck the chord tones all at once instead of strumming.

Dire Straits was very ecletic group. As a former radio DJ I can tell you that they don't fit into any genre. You should listen to "Brother's In Arms" by them on the album of the same name which is easily one of my favorite all time albums. Mark Knopfler, lead singer and guitarist also wrote most of the music for The Princess Bride.

Besides The Princess Bride, one of my all time favorite movies, there are many more. He has over 20 albums, including collaborations, and soundtracks, as a solo artist. He's also a guest on over 150 other albums or pieces. Mark and his keyboardist are the ones that are playing on Money For Nothing/Beverly Hillbillies by Weird Al Yankovic. It was their only stipulation for letting Weird Al do the parody. Credit is also given to Sting, who wrote the original song in the first place.

Dire Straits is in a category all it's own. Not many, if any, even resemble them. Loving me some Dire Straits! Great reaction, Jamel. 🎶🗣🎸🎶

Thomas.E. Jensen my 22 yr old son recently told me that I was right and his music was crap, I indoctrinated him on this kind of music for a long time, I shared one of Jamal’s vlogs and he saw the light. He even deleted his Twitter, Instagram and Facebook thank God.

Millenials are in their late 20s to mid-30s. This was our parent's music. Boomers are a okay if you ask me as they showed us these sweet tunes. I grew up on classic rock. I'm 36, among the older of the millenials. The youngest ones are 25.

This song IS a movie of every bar band you’ve seen on “Friday” night... Guitar George who can only afford an old guitar, Harry who has a daytime job.
