Recorded during the DTRW sessions, mixed on 2022 for the bonus tracks on second MK studio albums boxset.
You might get lucky, now and then

It's one of these song titles that may be a masterpiece, but may be yet another blues track just as well. Considering it wasn't even a bonus track, I have doubts, but we'll see...

One thing we know already about this one is that it's not an autobiographical song.   ;D

Maybe it is, in the sense of Pale Imitation it is biographical, in a way  :lol

Bonus tracks or unreleased tracks are not bad tracks per se, just because they are not in the record. Usually songs that are left out of a record and used, or not, as bonus tracks, are left out because in a way, the artist feel dont fit with the rest of selected songs, not because they are not good songs.

Remembrance Day was left out from KTGC, not because it was bad, but because it didn't fit with the general sound of that record, for example. Luckily it fit on GL, but if MK had decided it didn't fit either by whatever reason, it would had been left out too.

I remember a conversation with Chuck Ainlay long ago by mail, in which he told me that some great songs from MK are left out of records because of that, saved for maybe another record, but then it didn't fit with the next, and not to the next again, and as MK has many new songs, he forget about them.

Yes, and don't forget Walk of Life only just made the album!! Also, Two Skinny Kids is the one I want to have released the most, from the rough sounding live version available, it is/could be a masterpiece.
Knopfler, Oldfield and Gilmour is all the guitar I need.

We don't know that.

So, the title sounds cheesy as hell, but fortunately MK usually has a low cheese count so it should be ok :)

Yes, the cheesiness of it exactly is telling me that this might be a humorous song or something.

Interesting topic, what is the cheesiest song MK has released?

I really struggle to listen to In the Sky. Such a cheesy song and then the sax comes in to drop another huge dollop of fromage on it.

If we discuss collaborations then Voices That Care is by far the cheesiest. That might be the cheesiest record ever released.
