Has anyone else ever noticed that the guitar outro to Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others sounds uncommonly like Dire Straits ?

Just curious.

Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others, by The Smiths, from the album The Queen Is Dead.

Rather nice guitar part, deeply inane words. I believe Johnny Marr (Smiths' guitarist) was rather bitter that he'd written what he considered a beautiful piece of music, and Morrissey had written such god-awful words for it.

Marr good. Morrissey evil.

This is a well known FACT.

A FACT is like a fact, but more truerer.

Bah. Don't get me started. Been a big fan of The Smiths, and moderately enhusiastic about Morrissey's solo work. But Morrissey on Jonathan Ross last week was a bit of a shock: not just introverted and/or morose - just plain obnoxious.

Anyway, one of the beauties of the Smiths is the irony in the contrast between Marr's up-tempo music Morrissey's downbeat lyrics. Maybe it didn't work too well in "Some girls are bigger than others"[I'm not particularly fond of that song at all], but I'm prepared to put up with it for the sake of classics like "This Charming Man".
