Still, with the lyrics describing a secret bar hiding behind a green door where ‘a happy crowd’ play piano, smoke and ‘laugh a lot’, I can kind of see why people would imagine the song was about a queer bar.
Nevermind that the song was written more than a decade before the film was made, or that the song’s writers were American and likely would never have even heard of a lesbian bar on the other side of the world. To get in to Gateways you had to go through a green door (see where this is going?)Īnd, just like that, with nothing more than that one flimsy piece of information a rumour was started and spread that the song was about Gateways.
