Definitely looks like he enjoys being buggered, and I say that as someone who used to listen to their music.

I mean, he sings like he has a dick in his mouth. Total fag voice, in a “gaylic” fashion.

It plays UNEDITED on YOUTUBE! Whhhhhhaaaaaaaaatttt!

Does anyone remember the popular/famous artist that lent his voice to this song? NO fair cheating (looking it up).

Sting. I’m not a big fan of Dire Straits but I love Money for Nothing.

I still vividly remember going to my friends house, and hearing The Police, Ghost in the Machine album for the first time! I was an instant fan from the word go!

I always liked ‘Sultans of Swing’. Nice little drum groove on that one.

"Brother in Arms" live from '88 is a masterpiece. Knopfler has the thousand yard stare, and the song is haunting. I highly recommend.

If you destroy your guitar at the end of a gig, fans can't ask for an encore.

That's why you always bring more than 3.

Lol before clicking I though that would refer to a cigarette, which would have made it more funny tbh.

Fun fact: Mark Knopfler is actually gay, so doesn't he get the f-word pass? Are they silencing gay voices?

He is married with children, faggot
