This is a humorous, upbeat, Caribbean/reggae inspired song from Steely Dan's 1976 album 'Royal Scam'. It tells the story of an unhappy spouse who travels to Haiti, to take FULL advantage of their 1970s tourist-trap policy of legally granting QUICK and EASY divorces, only requiring 1 spouse to be present, and very loose legal justification for the divorce.

The Haitian govt created this quickie divorce system to draw in foreign tourists, to 'get it over with ASAP', then to party and have fun on the sunny beaches!

The subject in the song takes full advantage of the system AND it's implied she also took advantage of "the local talent"! This song includes tasteful and unique usage of the then-popular "talk box" sound effect used by Peter Frampton and Joe Walsh. But here it's used as a unique wah wah guitar effect.

One of my favorite bands.
 
"Iko Iko"
"The Grateful Dead"


I always loved the version of this song by The Dixie Cups, because I love Cajun music and that version felt very Cajun to me. I heard this on the radio today, though, and I really enjoyed it. I did hear the Grateful Dead in concert at The Filmore West and may have at The Filmore East. It was great to be able to hear them played on the radio in the Bay area when I was young. The East Coast wasn't doing that in the 1970's.
