The Raconteurs - Consolers of the Lonely (2008)
I don't think this needs an introduction so here's an excerpt from the Wikipedia page about the song "Baker Street" by Gerry Rafferty
"Baker Street" is a song by Gerry Rafferty written in 1978. It was his first release following the legal battles surrounding the separation of the band Stealers Wheel. Rafferty was supposedly banned from the recording studio after the 1975 break up for a period of three years while the lawyers ironed out the disputes with the band's recording contract remaining obligations. The song was featured on his second solo album City to City and released as the first of three singles, marketed primarily to Adult Contemporary radio. The saxophone hook on the original was played by Raphael Ravenscroft (contrary to popular belief, it was not played by UK quiz show host Bob Holness) and the guitar solo was played by Hugh Burns. The guitar solo in the song incorporates a motif inspired by a pair of seagulls accidentally trapped in the studio during recording.
UPDATE: The HeMunnity got hit with out first DMCA take down notice. We've finally hit the big time.
