What is the song "Rum and Coca Cola" About?
Does anyone know what the popular song of World War II era "Rum and Coca Cola" in question. The Andrews Sisters sang this song and it seems as if her song about U.S. soldiers get drunk and pick up prostitutes in Trinidad. Is this correct? Can anyone give a definitive answer? Thank you!
