Sorry....looks like us NW'ers are gonna stick together on this one....I like it alot.....

Great minds think alike . . . hiya Marcus.

It is beautiful. Luv the pic. Lov the song.......especially the Anguilla version and video.

I was glad to find this picture because I've only seen what's left of it now.
And I love the song too - but mostly because it reminds me of the St Barts/Le Select show and actually BEING there.
At some point I know I'd found pictures of some of the rooms but I can't find them again.

Thanks, Pam. I do like the song.

What a view! You can almost see the craziness that must have happened there back int he day!

Mes amis nous allons quelque part dont tout le monde
Se rappelle d'un endroit ou l'herbe etait toujours verte
Et la fete ne s'arretait jamais
A autour du rocher

This is a little tale about a hotel in the Caribbean. Well, it wasn't really a
hotel, it was a patio bar with funky rooms and an outdoor disco with bad wiring.
Some people said if you looked between the cracks of the floorboards of our
dance floor you would see Hell. If you ever went there, you would know what I'm
talking about. If you never had, then we thought we'd send you a little musical
souvenir.

Some say it was a planet
Some say it was a rock
For five wild years in L'Orient
The party never stopped

There were pirates from the Indies
There were models from Paris
There were locals and New Yorkers
And the Brazilian Navy

By mini-moke and scooters
In cabs and stolen cars
Came the creatures of the evening
From St. Martin and from Mars

Alors, alors, alors, alors alors (Come on, come on)
Vien faire un tour autour du rocher
On croisera les fantomes du passe
Viens faire un tour autour du rocher
Sur les souvenirs l'herbe a poussee

Girl at the pool table
puts on a show for free
They were bivouacked in the bathroom
By the hot tub near the sea

Every night at midnight
Seems the devil took control
And the hill became a parking lot
Fueled by rock 'n' roll

They were talking by the cannon
But I couldn't believe my ears
The Russian had plutonium
The sailor wanted beers

They shook hands in the moonlight
And broke out a big cigar
Just business as usual
Beneath the tropic stars

Alors (Come on) alors (Let's go) alors
Vien faire in tour autour du rocher
On croisera les fantomes du pass'e
Viens faire un tour autour du richer
Sur les souvinirs l'herbe a poussee

It was better than a painting
At le Musee de Beaux Arts
And simply what we did for fun
Back in the old St. Barts

Then the glitz and all the glamour
Hit like a hurricane
Or maybe we just all grew up
But it never was the same

The gendarmes finally closed the joint
And the fire it did the rest
But on New Year's Eve of '91
We sang the last request

We were dancing in the ashes
We were dancing in the sea
We were dancing in the ruins
Where we left our memories
Come on let's go alors
Vien faire un tour autour du rocher
On croisera les fantomes du pass'e
Viens faire un tour autour du rocher
Sur les souvinirs l'herbe a poussee

Alors, alors, alors, alors
Vien faire un tour autour du rocher
On croisera les fantomes du pass'e
Viens faire untour autour du rocher

I think I will cue that up on the ipod. Now if I just paid more attention in my French classes.

And some NOW photos of Autour on a St Bart's web site:

Pam, thanks for posting that photo. It got me looking around for more:

An informal survey indicates that two thirds of all Parrotheads like the song!

Love the pictures! Thanks for sharing!

And I LOVE the song!!

The view is amazing and it must have been the place to be!! Kinda surprised nobody ever fell off the edge and ended up down below. It wouldn't have been a good outcome I'm sure.
