Take me down from the ridge where the summer ends
And watch the city spread out just like a jet's flame

"Straights"

wtf are you shaming me for spelling now? Modding isn't enough? Suspensions aren't enough? we gotta GRAMMAR SHAME NOW!!!

Just kidding, thanks for letting me know, I just threw it up there because I wanted to hear the song more than anything didn't really check the spelling

When I hear that song, I cannot help but think of Walgreens.

I couldn't find the original ad.

bummer, would've liked to see it.

yea if I just wanna hear like one or two songs, if I'm going to go all the way to youtube to listen to them, I might as well copy and paste it here rq in case anyone else thought that song was a good idea, too, ya know?

I barely know their music, but the one song that everyone knows is so fucking good.
Whenever I hear it, it makes me wish I knew how to play guitar.
Dire Straits - Sultans of Swing

Yeah, that one too, but it's so "80's", not that that's a bad thing, mind you. I prefer Sultans.

The best Dire Straits song I ever heard was one their last live album.

Fuck yeah. My dad watched a lot of music TV, he liked stuff like Dire Straits, Elvis Costello, Eric Clapton etc. He wasn't a fuckin Bob Seger dad y'know lol

This is my favorite Dire Straits song. There's also a cover of this by the Killers, it gets the job done but the original is better:

There's also a live recording of Dire Straits doing Wonderful Tonight at a concert they had with Eric Clapton. I love these sappy-ass romantic ballads:

A good buddy of mine whom I used to play with every day had the Sultans of Swing as his ringtone for his boss, lmfao that lady would call him like 5 times a day or more with stuff while we were playing and that tune would just randomly burst out over the Mics over and over again, it was great
