Dire Straits' "Sultans of Swing"

[MiniLindsey]

Does anyone else notice that the chord progression of the chorus and outro solo of this song is the same as that of GYOW?

I wonder what it would sound like if the solos were merged together. I ought to try it out sometime.

hehe I never noticed the correlation...but maybe that explains my love of both songs. GYOW is my favorite...and I just love Sultans of Swing...the live version with the sax solo is orgasmic.... :D

[The Chain]

This is really weird. I was just thinking this song sounds like a FM song, yesterday. :nod:

[tuigirl]

hey Mini,
Please explain what ur on about, maybe a few chords comparisons would help :D

[ERigby818]

I noticed that too. I bet SOS was inspired a bit by GYOW.

[Jason T.]

First of all, I love this song! Secondly, I never noticed it until now. Cool! :thumbsup:

[Hawkeye]

I really love SOS. never noticed the comparison, next time I'll pay more attention.

[Jessica Leigh]

that's so weird... i've had that song stuck in my head for the last 7 hours... i was just singing it to myself as i clicked on the rumours forum and saw the title sitting there....

yep, what a great song. GREAT! but i never noticed either. It seems like Sultans has so much more in it...heheh.
