Listened to this song a bunch of times, while fixing up a ratty apartment, humming along, singing along with a few phrases, but never paid close attention to the lyrics. One night I tapped the "lyrics" icon and was amazed when it dawned on me, finally, that it was the McDonald's story. Mark Knopfler astounds me with his musicality blended with his literacy. And his voice with that throwaway casual style like he doesn't care if you "get it" or not. What a talent! It's always rewarding to "listen hard" to Mark Knopfler.
@mrainer Ahhh...the memories of hearing Dire Straits for the first time with their amazing hit "Sultans of Swing". OMG...it was one of the coolest songs in years!! Then he did the instrumentals for Local Hero (Mark is my hero)...and then the unforgettable music for Princess Bride. I finally had to come to this site to figure out what "Boom Like That" was about...now I know....ring a ding ding!!
