The Mats are back and so am I on this board! So this always bugged me about this song, the line "ring wrapped tight around a Singapore Sling at night, think to yourself it needs some more rum..." A Singapore Sling is made with gin, so did Paul know this and that speaks to the ignorance of the character in the song, or did he not know it and was taking artistic license? Or is that the wrong lyric to begin with as I originally thought it was "think to yourself you need some moron" until I read them somewhere, probably here.

If he didn't know it, he couldn't have been taking artistic license. If he did, I would guess the only thought that went into it was he needed something that rhymed with "tongue."
