| The Guess Who – Rain Dance Lyrics | 8 years ago |
| The Guess Who are from Winnipeg, Canada. Every verse in Rain Dance has a connection to Winnipeg. I don't recall what every verse means or refers to but Fifi is a reference to Eiffel Tower Bakery and Don is a reference to Don's Bakery which were two Winnipeg landmarks. "Where'd you get the gun, John?", refers to John Gunn school in Winnipeg. John Gunn, I believe, was a local politician. Not sure why but there was controversy over naming the school after Mr. Gunn. I am positive it has nothing to do with murder or suicide. Winnipeg was experiencing flooding back in the 60's. A Floodway (aka Duff's ditch) was built at great expense. Almost immediately after completion, a drought hit Winnipeg. The citizens began joking that they would be doing a rain dance to end the drought in order to get some use/value out of the Floodway. | |
