    Wonderful Song ! Love it ! The song is an old favourite of mine, with great lyrics, and David performs a fantastic version. The music video is excellent, and the backing music is top class also. Many thanks to Cinetex Films for this fabulous upload. 5*+

    Very well-done video. Both the singer and dancer do a wonderful job with this cover. Makes me want to get up and dance 😀 I like the unspoken word at the end. Just goes to show how important music really is.

    Even the slightest change would make this less than perfect!
    To capture the soul of a classic & recreate it in a different style & to pull it off perfectly takes a special talent.
    Love each moment of it!
    Also great to see a lot of good folks appreciate this.❤

    Wonderful. As a high schooler, I listened to this song. In So Cal, I heard Johnny Cash and Dolly, Frank, Merle, and George (Strait and Jones). etc. But as a rock fan, this song breached the divide for me. I realized that the songs I liked the most from Dire Straits and the Rolling Stones were their most "country" songs. (Wild Wild Horses, etc.). I love this cover too.

    Thanks! You made a nice job of this, without a doubt the guy Mark wrote those lyrics about is another, just like you 'set the scene' in this video. You did a nice job with the song, and the bit of a dance routine at the end tied things up nicely. As another old guy who sometime gets a one-nighter in places like this, I think you got it just right. props from the west of the Great White North. Apart from anything else, it looks like you had fun making this! Which is what matters and makes it worthwhile. Cheers!

    Down in the tunnels, trying to make it pay

    He do the song about the sweet lovin' woman
    He do the song about the knife
    He do the walk, do the walk of life
    Yeah, he do the walk of life
    Woohoo
    Here comes Johnny, gonna tell you the story
    Hand me down my walkin' shoes
    Here comes Johnny with the power and the glory
    Backbeat the talkin' blues

    Yeah, the boy can play
    Dedication, devotion
    Turning all the night time into the day
    The song about the sweet lovin' woman
