Wild West End by David Knopfler!

[Justme]

DK and MK seem to be very stubborn, in my view it takes two to continue this odd relationship. But it may take only one step towards the other to clear that old conflict out. Ok, perhaps I don't know that much about their reasons and see that too simple-hearted although I went through a similar situation.

The impression that people attending a concert want to listen to the artist(s) seems to be antiquated, in 2007 I had the pleasure to be seated in front of a couple of chatterboxes. This kind of disrespect towards the artist and the rest of the audience is getting more and more common.

Anyway, I'll definitely visit a DK concert for the first time when he's en route again.

I must say that I can hardly understand the exact story he tells from 2:02 on, also because "Sultans" from the background music is quite distracting. So if
anybody could write down that special part (that lead to the imitation of Mark), I would be very grateful!

Thanks a lot!

It was a good version by DK. I've seen a few others.  His voice sounds so much like MK.

And now my conductress on the number nineteen, she was a honey
Pink toenails and hands all, dirty with the money
Greasy easy Greasy hair, easy smile
Made me feel nineteen for a while

Totally agreed.  And the guitar intro to the song was simply seductive.   

Agreed with Lis that this was one of the best songs ever.

Have you noticed the few seconds of "Chinese inspired music", probably from a piano or keyboard, in the right speaker channel after Mark sings I went down ch ch uh uh chinatown?

Yes, that

It's a really great song, which captures perfectly the atmosphere and character of certain places in London and when I'm there, for example, walking down Shaftesbury Avenue or sitting on the number nineteen bus (which I have done a few times lately)  , the lyric of Wild West End always goes through my mind and I think of MK!
