Ahh, the classic "I fell in love with a hooker" song--and in true 'Dan fashion, the hooker is willing to humor him ("She said she loved me and was on her way...") and leave him begging for her to cease her promiscuous ways and stay with him. I think "Voulez-vous?" translates to "Do you want [this]?", which is a logical sales pitch.

I wonder if Sting listened to this song when he wrote "Roxanne."
