The refrain in the song 'RA-TA-TA-TA-TA' is OBVIOUSLY a reference to the noises their machine guns are going to make when they defend their turf (see, I'm 'street', mofo!) from Leonard Cohen's invading forces.<br /><br />Berlin, of course, did the song 'Take My Breath Away' for the movie 'Top Gun'. The very title of this song seems to indicate that they are so tired of life that they actually WELCOME Cohen's military coup. Having seen their haircuts, I can understand why. They'd be first against the wall if I was as well connected as Mr. Cohen and able to launch a similar offensive.<br /><br />Anyway, I hope that clears things up.Paulymorphhttp://www.whydoibother.comnoreply@blogger.com
