linksfiend Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Baker Street is one of my favorite songs from that decade. RIP Gerry. OK - if I don't really recognize the song Baker Street but absolutely know the saxophone solo, why would that be? Was it used in a commercial? Sampled in another song I know? Please help.

Was it used in a commercial? Sampled in another song I know? Please help. It's a distinctive solo so easy to remember. There's no way you haven't heard the song several times; it's been in radio rotations for 30 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

linksfiend Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 How old or better how young are you? Plenty old enough that I should know it. But can't swear I do. Other than the sax solo, none of it sounds familar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I take it you did not own a radio or ever frequent a bar with a juke box in the late 70's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Blizzard Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Gerry Rafferty is no longer stuck in the middle. May he R.I.P. Baker Street was one of the better songs from the late 70's. "You used to think that it was so easy . . ." Classic line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foo Figters covered Baker Street awhile back...maybe that's it. Then again that sax solo gets used as a punchline all the time. It's kind of the faux-seductive yakkity sax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
