I dunno about rock tour, but I think this is cleverer(and less literal) than it seems at first read and the key is the rock and roll section. Essentially, he says au revoir, I bet you don't even know what that means, and she mistakes him thinking he's saying she doesn't understand the language and then makes fun of him, mimicing what she thinks he was doing, saying adios, I bet you think I don't know what that means.
Then he launches into the key, rock and roll etc etc. Which to me says there is a fundamental thing that music means to me that you don't understand. By the same token, she doesn't understand that saying au revoir is about the pain of leaving, the gulf of lack of understanding and not the difference in language.
Perhaps I think this because there are people in my life where my relationships with them have fit this perfectly. They don't now and never will understand what I mean, no matter how I shout it. These relationships could be saved in theory, but the assumptions of the others that my lamentations are instead snarky jokes at their expense indicates exactly how they see the world, and why they are unable to sustain any relationship, with me or otherwise.
