Baker Street (Gerry Rafferty version)
My wife had long said that if she got a little red sports car she would drive it with the roof down and this playing at top volume..

As it was she passed her test near christmas and the weather wasn't too good but that didn't matter as it was almost easter before we could get her a car. We bought a little Fiesta Firefly in flamenco red (some things just stick).
The first day she had it was brilliantly sunny so we took it for a drive. I opened the sunroof and turned the stereo on. I had already made sure the right tape was in. I turned to her and said "Not quite a little red sports car but it'll do."
The look on her happy little face made my day and I still remember it well. Which is some achievement at my age.

Ha! The greatest urban myth ever.

Now I come to think of it, is there a version of Baker Street by someone _other_ than Gerry Rafferty? Never heard of it if there is.
