I was an audiophile in those days. The most amazing thing hearing Mark Knopfler guitar on a really good system — expensive stuff especially speakers were required. No crappy compressed CDs — pure analog. Maybe some new high-res lossless 192kHz digital might work but haven’t set that up yet to compare. If you’ve never heard it properly, the pick of a guitar string sounds completely different and “real” compared to what we are used to now.
And then one day you find
10 years have got behind you
No one told you when to run
You missed the starting gun

Gawd, I’m old.
Lal la la I can’t hear you
In denial all the way.
We gotta move these expired gum-mies
We gotta move these I-R-Kayayyyyyys
@ItalianScallion Did MTV ever figure out they were being mocked?
@ItalianScallion
Money for nothin’
And the IRKs for free
@blaineg @ItalianScallion
MTV made huge money being mocked, so they were fine with it
Opting to be the lone serious comment here, I have to say that the title song is perhaps the most perfect song ever written.

@haydesigner I’d never seen it with that video. excellent. Hard to argue with your “most perfect” vote.
Another excellent one — one of my favorites 1982-83. Also deep lyrics. And of course course amazing guitar.

@pmarin this is a live version from 1983. Also shortened. This one is a Dolby Atmos version.
