Lyric discussion by magpi1 

Ah Elvis, only he would write a piece of music that is a perfect musical film noir. Think about the great black and white detective movies, or even better, Chinatown and then put this song with it. Ambiguous heroes, dastardly women and no real moral losestone - good stuff.

I had to make an account 17 years after this was posted to respond to the inanity of this. Plenty, and it's no exaggeration to say plenty, of songwriters and recording artists before and after this have created work that sounds like film noir. And that is almost impossible not to know.

Not a bad song. Not groundbreaking, but not a bad song.
