The beginning I can't say much about, but the Greek mythology and Anna O. I can: Apollo was the god of, among many things, music. He was associated with the sun. His twin sister Artemis, on the other hand, was "equated with the moon". Artemis was, also among many things, the goddess of virginity [Runaround Sue] and the hunt [buffalo/extinction?]. Erato, as said before, was one of the muses, specifically love poetry. Cassandra was a human given the gift of prophecy by Apollo because he admired her beauty. She rejected him, though, so he placed a curse on her where no one would listen to her prophecies [Will we ever find our way into Cassandra’s gaze again?] And also as referenced before, the Anna O. is the pseudonym of Bertha Pappenheim [Anna, Anna, Anna, Oh! Why’d you change your name], a patient of Josef Breuer (A colleague of Freud). Her treatment is commonly seen as the beginning of psychoanalysis. |

Direct from the Sunset Rubdown website: The buffalo have given up on the world. And Apollo? Apollo is kissing all the valley girls. We climbed up the cross on the mountain on New Year’s Eve: It was just god, the blizzard, the dream-weaver and me. My god I miss the way we used to be. Here’s a photograph for you to hold. It’s my picture right before I got old. It’s a picture of a buffalo that we rode into extinction. That was the crime we committed in the night… Apollo, I heard your sister is equated with the moon, but I think your sister is just another run-around Sue. And where have you been, Erato? Because it’s been a long time since we sat around the willow tree fire, where Anna played guitar and the rest of us fell in love. That was back before she changed her name. Will we ever find our way into Cassandra’s gaze again? Like the days before Anna changed her name? Here’s a photograph for you to hold… It’s a picture of the prize, you hunter… Anna, Anna, Anna, Oh! Why’d you change your name? |

"Poking fun at the fact that many people learning a second language do not actually possess a conversational level of the language but are actually just quoting conversational sentences they have learned. The entire song consists of common French phrases that would be found in a dialect book eg. 'Here's my passport'." --From Wikipedia |
