Making Moveis was an album of intense emotion, featuring singles such as "Funnel of Gloves", "Scrapeaway", and the immensely successful "Hitler and Mussolini", the tragic story of two young and (not so) innocent lovers. With David finally gone, and at least half the recording studio almost still intact, Dire Straits then abducted several extra band members from various places and began recording. Mark survived, on account of him being immortal, and so David resorted to plan B and stormed out of the recording studios (planting a time bomb in the recording studios on the way out). Although this improved the instrumentation to no end, David Knopfler became convinced that his brother Mark was blaspheming against all that Dire Straits stood for, and attempted to burn Mark Knopfler at the stake. The songs on the album include "What do think you're doing? Put the drugs down!", "Shady Writer" (a cheap rip-off version of Sultans which no-one liked), and "Portobello Smell" (a song about sniffing mushrooms.)ĭire Straits had been known for their stripped-down sound at this time, but with the coming of the 1980's were forced to overproduce their next album, Faking Movies. The band followed up this tremendous success with their second album "Communiste", which sucked, if only for the reason that it didn't include the single "Sultans of Bling" again. However, due to the inconvenience of Mark Knopfler not being born at the time, he was unable to record it until 1978.) ("Sultans of Bling" was written in 1945, long before Eddie or rock n' roll had ever existed. Nobody actually cared about the lyrics because they didn't rhyme, but the single is known now for being the precursor to the tapping technique popularized by Eddie Van Halen, Randy Rhoads, and Tinky Winky. least shit) song on the album was the single, "Sultans of Bling", a song complaining about how Mr T gets his money for nothing. Scientologists believe the records were able to clone themselves and then sell themselves in the black market, making Titles Are Superfluous the first ever sentient, self-cloning album. However, the band and a bunch of record people then took the album to Warner Brothers, and the record sold 100,000,000,000.01 copies, despite only 100,000 ever being produced. It originally sold poorly, mostly because nobody wanted talented musicians playing on their records, understandably preferring grunge pop and disco. 1.4 Decline and Fall of the Dire Empireĭire Straits recorded their first album, "Heck, we can't be stuffed coming up with an original name for this album, let's just name it after us", also known as "Titles Are Superfluous" in 1978.
