Add Your New Review About The Song The Reviews about Boom Like That (page 1/1) ------ performed by Mark Knopfler Vicious | Reviewer: Michael Z. Williamson | 11/1/2008 I don't often agree with Knopfler's take, but in this case he's right. Kroc was a whirling SOB. Unlike a lot of other artists, Knopfler manages to make his commentary entertaining and visceral rather than preachy. And the guitar is just awesome. BRILLIANT. | Reviewer: music lover not fighter | 3/14/2008 What a great song. Listening to it, without analyzing the words you wouldn't think about agressive corporate domination and brutual competition elimination techniques. But then you listen to the words, and you can actually see what Ray Kroc saw when he visited the first McDonalds. "Damn. I should copy these... times... like a billion... I'd be rich" he was right. Go Mark Go. My other favorite on this album is without a doubt "Don't Crash the Ambulence" mark knopfler (meaning) | Reviewer: Max | 10/1/2007 This song is about whe mcdoalds guy and how he got started selling milkshake mixers and got the idea of mcdonals and worked his way up the chain. This song is not odd for them, it you listen to the album " shangri-la" most of the songs are a bout people, elvis, ray kroc, sonny liston ect, listin to it Whoa, you guys aren't listening to the lyrics. . . | Reviewer: MQ | 7/24/2007 This song is all about the lyrics, the smooth musical style is to hide what he's singing about - the quote of Ray Kroc's - the king of the McDonald's fast-food chain, and this is a quote - "if they're gonna drown, put a hose in their mouth." The take no prisoners management sytle of Ray Kroc. funky song #1 | Reviewer: Dave | 7/6/2007 This is a really unusual Knopfler song. It is more ambiguous than a lot of his material and has a sort of a funky California feel. I really feel a strong Clapton influence with the lead guitar part. Dire Straits / Knoppfler | Reviewer: Michael | 7/6/2007 It's a great song, especially the part the guitar's playing troughout the whole song. It's peacefull, whereas it's a very happy song too. There are several short guitar solos in it, wich I think are great. The song sounds a little like 'What it is' and 'Sultans of Swing'. Slow Dire Straits style | Reviewer: Marien | 9/10/2004 This first single of the new Mark album "Shangri la" is quite different, I mean more "Straits style" from the other tracks (As was "What it is" in his second solo album, "Sailing to philadelphia"). We can hear in this track lot of peaceful and sharpened guitar, in the unique style of Marko. Just learn the lyrics (not very long), take a guitar (or a pillow, a bag or your cat), put yourself in front of your clothing mirror, and enjoy =) Add Your New Review About The Song
