| I have always been bothered by it, since I first heard it and every time since. Not only the idea of her calling it "big apple" as if Buenos Aires is known as that, but also the phrasing... everything. I want to be a part of B.A. Buenos Aires Big Apple And is "B.A." referring to Buenos Aires or Big Apple or both, and why? Do they use that for either? Certainly no one in the actual Big Apple calls it B.A. Also does Tim Rice really think the audiences won't understand that Buenos Aires, the capital and only city they've heard of in Argentina, is a big deal and similar to NYC for Eva? It seems so unnecessary. But it's also not set up, it's not like previous to that she sings "Buenos Aires is like New York City" or "I want to take a bite of the Big Apple, Buenos Aires"... I can't even dissect it it's weird on too many levels. |
