The song "Roxanne" by the Police...

I heard on an old re-run of American Top 40 that it was a song encouraging a woman named Roxanne to conserve electricity.

Is that true? I mean it's not like one light bulb is gonna make any difference, even a 60 watter.

Well to answer your question it's not true. It's about exactly what it sounds like. Roxanne is a prostitute who's being asked not to turn on her red light

@Gibbon I guess her client didn't want to see how unattractive she really is.

Like "No, you don;t have to turn on the light".

The earworm is painful enough. Turn out the light.

Nope! Red light districts are infamous throughout the whole world.
