MK Songs you don't expect on your radio...

[Ian Lewis]

My local radio (Pirate FM, Cornwall) played Lady Writer this morning.  Okay, so it was at the un-Godly hour of 6am,  but it was great to hear.  It was refreshing to hear instead of Money for Nothing or Sultans of Swing.  Of course that are great in their own rights, but for me not the only work Mark has ever done!  In fact not the first Straits record I have heard them play that time of the morning.

Anyone heard some lesser-known Straits/MK tracks on the radio recently?

Lady Writer gets played a lot on Radio 2 here in the UK.

I heard Whoop De Doo while buying a sofa the other day, that was kind of bizarre.

funny you say so ian, i had the same aha feeling hearing the exact same song at the same ungodly hour, just a month or 3,4 ago...
shall i change the topic in "rare radio appeareances"? and with rare i mean the songs.

That title might be more appropriate  It was really great, because I heard it at work, so it was a much needed boost!!!

I listen at work always to Sky-radio and besides SOS, WOL they also play the last weeks often "What It Is" and I like that.

I have been watching the Olympic Games Beach Volley Ball, and between points they play a whole bunch of short grabs from various artists including Dire Straits "Walk of Life".

A couple of months ago, a local radio station played Punish The Monkey. I was very surprised, considering I cannot ever remember hearing an MK solo song on commerical radio here in the US before that.

Is Iron Hand played live by Brendan Croker on local radio in The Netherlands a valid submission to this topic? 

[Pottel]

WOW
got it on tape?
dumb question i guess....

[wmlbbmk]

He played it after he just got a phone call from Mark, telling him he had a new daughter baby born, named Katya.

[Pottel]

that is not the reply i expected... :-P

[wmlbbmk]

As you qualified your question already yourself, I didn't feel the need to reply to that anymore
