I posted this as a reply above, but I see that replies are hidden unless expanded, so here it is... OK. I had to become a member of this web site to respond to the awesome interpretations of this song. Y'all are very funny! Have any of you ever been to a Pink Martini concert? (If not, I would highly recommend doing so) If you had been to one of their concerts, you would have heard Thomas Lauderdale (the guy who wrote the song) explain that he and China Forbes (the lady who sings the song) were in a hotel bar in Portland, Oregon and overheard two French-speaking Canadians (who he assumed were in Oregon as loggers) having this conversation. They "poemed" it up a bit, but he claims that this was the gist of their conversation. It was a conversation between two men about being frustrated with work, lost love (or lovers) and life in general -- so they were at the point at which all they wanted to do was smoke and forget about everything else. |
