Did anyone notice it? |

| paisley16 | i have two disagree....at the time, I read it as a dig on themselves and plenty of others -perhaps including Prince, but not specifically well-nigh him. Ask where they're going, they'll tell U – "Nowhere" |

Did anyone discover it? It's not obviously virtually Prince. The line could have been about whatever male pop/stone star of the 80's. A dude who wears makeup and and an earring? Prince? George Michael? Billy Idol? Motley Crue (or any number of pther heavy metal or hair bands)? Boy George? Who knows? I retrieve it's a bit of a stretch to say that that lyric is obviously nigh Prince. "New Power slide...." |

Sorry i should of said. Knopfler heard a guy in a tv store i twenty-four hour period, watching MTV. So mark jotted downward, or remembered, some of what the man was saying about the videos on MTV. Thats why the words have a dialogue sort of feel. |

Prince? George Michael? Billy Idol? Motley Crue (or any number of pther heavy metal or hair bands)? Male child George? Who knows? I think it's a bit of a stretch to say that that lyric is evidently about Prince. I reckon information technology is. Vocal came out in late 1984, he mentions "little", which is likewise a giveaway. and "...thats his own hair", as Prince'south pilus back so was wackier then anyone's. Its non a bitter social commentary of then MTV, only I just get the feeling someone would diss a femme black human being like Prince, moreso and then George Michael, Poisonous substance et all..... |

| thesexofit | sexxydancer said: Non familiar with the song-but where r they now?? The pb vocalist, Mark Knopfler disbanded the group after 1991's "on every street". He was dire straits. He wrote the songs, played guitar and sang on them of course. Infact, if you want to play the stupid "who'south more than pop" game, "brothers in artillery" outsold "majestic rain", but actually who cares? I can say this though, he is a fable on guitar. Prince is corking and all, but to play electrical, that well with no plectrum, is difficult as hell, well at least it is to an axeman like me. He is ane of the best of all time. I always find him very underated. As a songwriter (dylan influence is pretty big though, not that that is a bad thing) and of course, as a guitar thespian. Music mags detest the grouping for whatever reason. |

I told u, Marking wrote it about a guy he actually saw, in a tv shop, looking at MTV, and talking nearly certain acts. I have no idea virtually the next verse though which mentions..... ..."And he'due south upwards there, what's that ? Hawaiian noises ? Anyway, I remember Mark had to explain so a few people didn't get upset about the "faggot" comments etc.... |

So it just means homosexual in England? The lyrics are yet problematic if they were meant equally a diss... it still implies a negative connotation towards homosexuals... Yep, no 1 really fifty-fifty uses the discussion anymore in England. Non that I know of. Maybe they did back in the fourscore'due south? Anyway, the song is about a guy Mark saw, pretty much spied on, and copied what this person was saying about what he was watching, in the boob tube store. Its just some ignorant fool. Like the other verse.... ".....Bangin' on the bongoes like a chimpanzee" That line is even more problematic, and infact, i remember that poetry was banned past some radio stations or something similar that? |

I acknowledge, i was hasty in assuming the line was well-nigh Prince, as information technology could be adam ant or whomever, but hey, i dont think Prince is gay because of the "earrings" or whatsoever, if thats what ur thinking. I simply never gave information technology much thought. |

| padawan | The song is written from the perspective of the average working class male--specifically guys who "have to motility refrigerators and color tvs." The character scoffs at pretty boy rock stars (doesn't matter which one), claiming it's not real piece of work. The utilise of "faggot" is pitch perfect in context. Information technology's a great vocal. |

The use of "faggot" is pitch perfect in context. It'southward a neat song. Working course men, busting their backs for minimum wage, may have seen the 80's rock stars as "f"- this is my observation/intereption of the song, non my views (i dont use the discussion in the real world so i'm not typing it here). Knopflers song was a commentary on how the use of music videos -with the explosion of MTV 'put' the rock star in the living rooms of the average working Joe, who could see them earning"Money for Nothing", "that ain't working" i was listening to Dire Straits yesterday (the "low-cal" thread in GD put me in a nostalgic mood), this song was on the cd- freaky. One of my top 5 "straits" songs- brill seems that i was busy doing something shut to naught, but different than the day earlier |

It is offensive in england and anywhere else. I'm straight and i'm not comfy with hearing that. Although some might just use the word to edible bean sissy or punk or whatsoever. Your'll hear the word fag on 99% of hip hop albums. |

| muirdo | Mark Knopfler was from Whitley Bay. Fuck the funk - it's time to ditch the worn-out Vegas horns fills, choice up the geee-tar and finally ROCK THE MUTHA-FUCKER!! He hinted at this on Chaos, now it's time to stride up and fully DELIVER!! |

| Number23 | Oh, for fuck's sake. It's not a diss confronting whoever's wearing the make-upwardly and earings. It's a diss against the moronic, small-minded attitude of the straights dismissing this person who chooses to act like a 'faggot' - who is accurately described every bit reaping the rewards for being true to himself and acting like the aforementioned faggot. |
