holiday song.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It isn&#8217;t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is a story about two people in a stale relationship independently attempting to find someone else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They both place or answer personal ads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They arrange a secret meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p

class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Absolutely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the actual title?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cEscape (The Pi\u00f1a Colada Song)\u201d by Rupert Holmes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The parenthetical subtitle wasn&#8217;t originally the main attraction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But listeners remembered the cocktail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eventually the song became universally known as \u201cThe Pi\u00f1a Colada Song\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sometimes audiences rename your work for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What happens in the song?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A man is bored with his relationship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His partner is asleep beside him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He reads the personal advertisements in a newspaper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Remember newspapers?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">People once attempted online dating using paper and several days of waiting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He finds an ad from a woman describing the sort of man she wants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Her interests appeal to him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So he replies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Importantly:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">he does this without telling his partner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They arrange a meeting at a bar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The mystery woman walks in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s his partner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">So both of them were trying to cheat?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Essentially, yes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That&#8217;s the part often lost when the song appears at weddings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both people are secretly searching outside the relationship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then they discover they were apparently more compatible than either realised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The song treats this as a funny romantic revelation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Modern relationship therapists may have follow-up questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why don\u2019t they get angry?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That&#8217;s the joke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead of:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou were trying to cheat on me!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">the reaction becomes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou like these things too?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They realise they&#8217;d stopped communicating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each was searching for qualities that already existed in the other person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s basically a romantic comedy compressed into four minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Did Rupert Holmes actually like pi\u00f1a coladas?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here&#8217;s another excellent detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Holmes reportedly wasn&#8217;t particularly interested in them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The original lyrical idea involved a different cultural reference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While recording, he searched for something more evocative of tropical escape and landed on pi\u00f1a coladas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The cocktail became more famous than the title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Was the song a No. 1?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And it achieved a wonderful piece of chart trivia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cEscape\u201d became the final US No. 1 of the 1970s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It then remained involved at the top as the calendar moved into 1980.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A song about answering a newspaper personal ad effectively closed a musical decade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why does the song work so well?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because you need to hear the ending.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most pop songs are emotionally static.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Verse one:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I love you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Verse two:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Still love you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chorus:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Definitely love you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cEscape\u201d has a plot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Information changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is a reveal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That gives the listener a reason to stay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where have I heard \u201cThe Pi\u00f1a Colada Song\u201d?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Almost everywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Its film and television appearances include Shrek, Guardians of the Galaxy, Better Call Saul, Grown Ups and numerous other productions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Directors love it because the recording instantly communicates a particular mood:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">cheerful<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">slightly cheesy<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">1970s<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">holiday<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ironic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And if the scene involves questionable romance, even better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What genre is it?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Soft rock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yacht-rock adjacent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It has become part of the broader late-1970s\/early-1980s soft-rock revival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Songs like \u201cEscape\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Try:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Looking Glass
