It'd be nice is some Southerner could confirm the significance of "burning down the levee", since it comes up in several songs. In Elton John's "Burn Down the Levee", it has a very ominous tone, but here it seems to more fit the idea of the Louisiana tradition of lighting bonfires on the levee and partying through the night. Otherwise, I wonder why people would want to "burn the levee down".
@Moonmadness Please ignore the preceding comment. It's not "Burn down the Levee" by Elton John, It's "Burn down the Mission". Randy Newman has a song "Let's burn down the Cornfield". Anyway, I screwed up but I down see how to edit or delete comments.
