Songfacts

[santoo]

The "Songfacts" can be anything of interest regarding the song, including lyric interpretations, notable cover versions, production notes or information about the songwriter. For example, the Songfacts for "Escape (The Piña Colada Song)" explain that Rupert Holmes wrote the original lyric as "Do you like Humphrey Bogart?" before changing it to "Do you like Piña Coladas?" The Songfacts also mention how the drum track is a loop repeated about 60 times, and that Rupert Holmes wanted a different song released as a single. Other interesting Songfacts include how the song popularized the Piña Colada, how it was the last US #1 pop hit of the '70s and the first of the '80s, and Holmes' accomplishments since writing the song, which include writing Broadway plays, a television series, and songs for other artists, including Barbra Streisand and Britney Spears.
