Manfred Mann Mighty Quinn

Sounds like a harmless and silly little song.  But what does it mean?  Anything?

Perhaps it means nothing at all.  Or perhaps it does mean something, but the author would prefer to not really say.

You can read what you want into a song.  Sometimes, I think some of the best songs and movies are like this one where you ponder over what they mean.  Or it could be just a clever marketing trick to get you to think and talk about the song or movie.

The song could be a mockery of escapism.  That's my take, for what it is worth.
