Good point. In the lyrics she does go from being lighthearted and self deprecating about herself to challenging and going a bit on the attack with him here. It reminds me of a Peanuts cartoon where Lucy's mouth opens extra wide to scream at poor little quiet Linus to get his attention. > It seems like she is trying to break through his wall. > Then again, he could be like the guy in the bar in "Raised > On Robbery" who just wants to be left alone and watch > the game! As Paz has mentioned, he talked to Joni about the song and the tequila anaconda. Paz thought the restaurant was Dan Tana's which is a kind of old New York Italian, celeb and musician haunt next to the Troubadour. Ever since I heard that I've pictured her sitting there at the smoky bar incessantly chatting up the non-responsive guy. I had this thought that maybe he just had indigestion from the huge platters of pasta and tumblers of drinks they serve there and was simply in the semi-coma carb and Chianti zone ;-) Kakki
