Story Behind the Song
I was on the road playing in Philly... I was newly single. I hadn't been on the road for some time. I was definitely lookin fer trouble.
We were staying at this little hotel. The chick who ran the desk was leaving to go on a date. Man she was HOTTTT!!!!. Her and her friends are the girls in the beginning of the song.
We left there and went to Montreal... the girls there made it plain that if you are looking for trouble there, you better speak French. With the help of a girl I met there, we created the French verse
We played it all over and there is a live version on this page from a Monroe MI concert with the BLUES cUBE... This one just came out of a studio jam session. We were there to record something else. I started playing the opening riff and we just flew into it. I loved the work, so, I laid in the vocal lines and we have the version.
