The Big Easy/Quotes

"There's a bat they call Lestat who will sink his teeth in you,

You might meet a creature from a swampy black lagoon.

And if the moon is full

You might meet the loup-garou!

Don't go by the river side,

You'll be sorry if you do!"

- Voltaire, "Don't go by the River"

"Stately homes and mansions

Of the sugar barons and the cotton kings

Rich people, poor people, all got dreams

Dreams do come true in New Orleans"

- The Princess and the Frog, "Down in New Orleans"

"Mentally or physically

I wanna be in the New Orleans"

- Red Hot Chili Peppers, "Apache Rose Peacock"

"Long before the Superdome

Where the Saints of football play

Lived a city that the damned call home

Hear their hellish rondelet...

New Orleans!

Home of pirates, drunks and whores

New Orleans!

Tacky overpriced souvenir stores

If you want to go to hell, you should take a trip

To the Sodom and Gomorrah of the Mississip'

New Orleans!

Stinking, Rotten, vomiting, vile

New Orleans!

Putrid, brackish, maggotty, foul

New Orleans!

Crummy, lousy, rancid, and rank

New Orleans!"

- The Simpsons, "Oh! Streetcar"
