@[I_am_butters:39535] Drew Goddard talked about the meaning of the song title in an interview with Bieler Bros. Records, published on July 31, 2007: “Roquefort” is a strong tasting French cheese. This was a nickname/working title for the song that stuck, we just couldn’t imagine it being called anything else. The song was originally written with the horn section, and therefore it gave it a slight tongue-in-cheek cheese vibe, and due to the swing/big band vibe of the song, Rock-a-Forte (strong rock fff.) sounded like something you’d stick up the top of a jazz chart. The lyrics are open to interpretation. But for me “Roquefort” is all about love and loss, I find it quite hilarious/ironic that lyrically, these issues far removed from potent French cheese! I do think that the upbeat, positive sound of the song works well juxta-posed against the serious, sometimes melancholy lyrics. For me, it’s like encouraging yourself or someone in a dark period of their life to bounce back, and look on the bright side! |
