This song seems to have two meanings. First, it's about the Girl from Ipanema, who keeps walking past all the guys. She hasn't found anyone worth staying for, so she leaves for the opposite of Ipanema, which is Greenland, But she can't escape her own pickiness in men.
It also speaks to how much the world has opened up. That you can be in Greenland and listen to "Girl from Ipanema" because of technology means you can have an experience that doesn't necessarily coincide with your location. It also means that you can't escape songs like this no matter where you go.

I never thought of it that way. But what about the part where she's lost someone? Where does that fit?
