Its four-note riff is one of the most recognized figures in rock, and for a lot of guitarists it is the first thing they ever pick out. The lyrics recount something that actually happened to the band: a fire that burned down the casino in Montreux, Switzerland, during a Frank Zappa concert, which they watched from across Lake Geneva.</p>
