Kanada Kev Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 This song is called Alice's Restaurant, and it's about Alice, and the restaurant, but Alice's Restaurant is not the name of the restaurant, that's just the name of the song, and that's why I called the song Alice's Restaurant.You can get anything you want at Alice's RestaurantYou can get anything you want at Alice's RestaurantWalk right in it's around the backJust a half a mile from the railroad trackYou can get anything you want at Alice's Restaurant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.O.B.E Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 Yeah but its just the name of the song. If you want to end war and stuff you have to sing it real loud. The title has no relevance to what the song is actually about; the draft and war and social injustices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M.O.B.E Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 229 Songs with [color:red]titles that have nothing to do with the lyrics themselvesI do believe it reads song titles with no relevance to the lyrics in the actual song not; does not contain the words which make up the title in the actual lyrics. Alice's Restaurant is not about Alice or a Restaurant. The lyrics even tell you that. Before the songs begins Arlo says " what if we threw a war and nobody came ?" That is what the song is about.

MarcO Posted May 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 American Pie is not really about a pie but there is still an association between the lyrics and the title, in that the pie comes to represent an America the singer (Don McLean) doesn't recognize anymore.Strawberry Fields is a place in Liverpool, but the song isn't about that place. It's a symbol of a Liverpudlian childhood Lennon is reflecting on. So there's a connection between the title and the lyrics.I think Alice's Restaurant is similar.
