I know Lets hope there isn't a chimpanzee in that song, running around with those vampires in New Orleans.

(I remember when I first heard that lyric, I died laughing. Also, "I am a cliff dweller from the old school" I thought, my god, only Stevie would write that. )

At least there is no The Chimpanzee Boogie song on this album.

I was thinking the same thing! The live clip I heard seemed to be all about Mardi Gras- you'd think she could come up with some festive title for it. There's nothing more festive than Mardi Gras! Anyway, I can't wait to hear it; I only live about an hour away from N.O. so I've had many crazy times there!

I wonder if her song will be festive with all the vampires running around

I felt that snippet of the song was celebratory of the entirety of the city and its people, its cultures. "New Orleans" as a title encompasses that.

Does anyone remember that Stevie said one of the songs that she recorded withDave last summer recalls Canned Heat? I wonder if she was referring to the New Orleans song production style - that would make sense.

"Much of the new material was inspired by a trip to Italy, which was just fantastic,'' Nicks said while calling from her Los Angeles home. "I wrote the most romantic ballad I've ever written that was inspired by my time in Rovello, Italy. I also wrote a rock 'n' blues song that kind of sounds like Canned Heat. You have to hear these songs.''

Cool Thanks 4 finding. The verse she previewed & sang acapella in New Orleans on the Unleashed 09' tour sounded a bit bluesy to my ears.

"I want to get back to New Orleans....
I want to sing out in the streets of the French Quarter.
I wanna dress up, I want to wear beads...
I want to wear feathers and lace.
I want to brush by the vampires...and go down Bourbon Street."

I had totally forgotten about the 'Vampires' line- Lots of Vampires on this album! Very apropos for nocturnal Stevie!

Yeah..as nocturnal as she has always been she has taken quite awhile to embrace her inner vampire..but it fits right in with the cuurent pop culture so smart move I suppose.

Aren't these vampires the ones Tom Petty was writing about in "Free Falling"?

All the vampires, walking through the valley
Move west down Ventura Boulevard

Isn't Stevie talking about all the goth kids in New York City, New Orleans, or the San Fernando Valley?

Or is this a homage to Anne Rice & Stephenie Meyer?

[TrueFaith77]

Stevie should have done a Red Riding Hood album instead of Alice In Wonderland.

The vampire reference in the "New Orleans" lyric would refer to Anne Rice, whereas "Moonlight" would refer to Stephenie Meyer's vamps.
