I've never been to New Orleans but I love the way this song mokes it sound. I I could sit in a Smoky Bar and listen to this song and Sultans of Swing and eat some Blackened Cat fish and Jubalia I could Die Happy.
I couldn't believe noone had commented on this So I had to become a member just so this song wouldn't be negleted.
Listen to the voice on that guy, Listen to the Sax and the Mornful guitars this will send shivers down your spine. And then listen to the lyrics, Lyrics like Mark comes up with should cause terminal embarrassment to 98% of the song writters on the pop sceen.
I am a huge Knopfler fan, Saw him perform in 2006 amazing, he has lots of pretty good songs but none better then this. I you need to listen to it send me an email I'll send it to you.
I've lived in New Orleans most of my life and I know the French Quarter very well. A couple of years ago I decided to take a weekend retreat at the Hotel Ste. Marie. Lo and behold, when I got there I realized it was "on the corner of Toulouse and Dauphine." But still, who is Marie Ondine? Surely not a saint.

I've been to NOLA twice, both times were absolutely amazing. I have decided that should I ever win the lotto, I'm buying some property there!

At any rate, last time I was there (in 2011), I went looking for this corner; it is indeed a real place -- as is the Saturn Bar. Marie-Ondine is probably a fictional name that tied the whole song together; I get the impression the song is about a chauffeur carting this woman's butt around town, and is secretly in love with her. ;-)
