I don't think that this article has a NPOV. It sounds to me as though it more a article from a music critic than something you would find in an encylopedia.
Some of the stuff could probably be kept but it needs to be rewritten so that it at least has some paragraphs and the like - enceladus
[edit] "trying to become popular"
NPOV or not, am I the only one who disagrees with the description of the lyrics? The song gives me more the impression of describing a jazz group who only cares about playing and enjoying it, and doesn't give a damn whether they're popular or not. It may be my personal interpretation, but it seems pretty clear to me. -- leoboiko 01:10, 2005 August 25 (UTC)
'And Harry doesn't mind if he doesn't make the scene, he's got a daytime job he's doing alright' - I agree. Not really the thoughts of someone intent on making himself popular. Bgh251f2 18:12, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
Agreed. I've changed it, but feel free to re-write if you can do a better job. I have also removed some links. - I didn't think we need links to 'Song' and 'London'. Not sure about the link for 'Jazz', so I have left it in. Anyone else feel it could go? - JP Godfrey 14:27, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
I love this song!
[edit] Mark Knopfler did most of it himself?
- Most of the instruments as well as the vocals were performed by band founder and leader Mark Knopfler.
I would have thought that the instruments were all played by their respective band members, which would mean Mark Knopfler played only one instrument (in addition to singing), not "most". So I need a citation for this statement. - furrykef (Talk at me) 11:47, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
I think that statement's highly dubious, and so added the "dubious" template.Andrew Spinner 20:09, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
