Aside from Mark nearly swallowing the mic... this is some of the best ever done.

If you liked that version - How about with Clapton on board?

How about his new one, Punish the Monkey?
It's quite good.

They're driving long nails into coffins.
You've been having sleepless nights.
You've gone quiet as a church mouse,
And checking on your rights.
The boss has hung you out to dry,
And it looks as though
They'll punish the monkey
And let the organ grinder go.
You've been talking to a lawyer.
Are you going to pretend
That you and your employer
Are still the best of friends?
Somebody's going to take the fall,
There's your quid pro quo.
They'll punish the monkey,
They'll punish the monkey,
They'll punish the monkey,
And let the organ grinder go.
Here comes a policeman,
He won't be sidetracked.
He's asking about a smoking gun,
He's after the facts.
It's a quiet life from here on in,
You've dropped your poison cup.
The telephone is ringing
But you're not picking up.
Time's up, Sir Lord Flunkey,
And everybody knows
They'll punish the monkey,
They'll punish the monkey,
They'll punish the monkey,
And let the organ grinder go.
They'll punish the monkey,
Punish the monkey,
Punish the monkey,
And let the organ grinder go. [x2] -

Knopfler is really on top of his game.

AWAKE&WATCHING
They ARE The Sultans of Swing!
I love Clapton and this is one of my favorite songs.
One time I pulled into a gas station in the middle of this song and stayed in my car dancing in my seat and singing at the top of my lungs. When I got out a guy had pulled on the other side of the pump and was cracking up laughing, said he enjoyed the show and something about "when the music moves you".
I was embarassed for about 10 seconds and began to laugh as well.
This was a great version. Now I am going to check out nvr's links.

JEFF and NVR- I just bought the new cd by Mark Knopfler, I've been a big Dire Straits fan for years. He is definitely on top of his game, his haunting, smooth style of minor chord melancholy really comes through great on the new cd. Yes, punish the monkey, oh, punish the monkey, punish the monkey, and let the organ grinder go
