Hello Nigel!

** On Tuesday 14.06.22 - 23:50, you wrote to me:

 >> I just noticed that Shock The Monkey (Peter Gabriel), and
 >> Back On The Dance Floor (Mark Knopfler) sound similar.

 NR> Personally, I don't hear it. I should listen to Down the
 NR> Road... a bit more though. I didn't like it as much as
 NR> Tracker. Should give it another shake.

When I first heard Knopfler's song my first reaction was "gee,  
that sounds familiar".  Took several plays to finally retrieve  
the Shock The Monkey lyric from the dark recesses of my brain  
and realize THAT's IT!  ..albiet a slower and rather cool  
version too.

You don't hear the similarity?  It's the main, constant melody  
that's the same.
