Ron thanks. Hope you were able to find Car Talk today. Cracked me up as usual. What a great program that is.

As for the song, what you hear in the video is not the same as on Car Talk... and dammit... I know for a friggin fact that Mark Knopfler is behind the Car Talk version (Dire Straits). And I know for a fact I have heard Dire Straits version on a CD or EP album. It just miffs me that I cannot get to the bottom of this. What album title? If you listened to Car Talk, you know what I mean. The piano part is right on, but you can hear Mark playing the guitar in the background... absolutely classic Dire Straits.

BTW, the Car Talk website FAQ says they get more questions about this song than any other part of the program.

Mike
