Question Hi James - i checked to see if i was duplicating a question and dont think i am - BIG fan of the song little bones - i was just told that the song has a "deeper/darker" meaning (2.50 for hi ball is reference to drugs?? - i know about the little bones line from the cabbie but this perplexed me - ANY help would be great - CHEERS:)
Answer Hey Steve, thanks for the question.
The Hi-ball Gord is referring to is actually a drink!
Ingredients:
6.0oz Ginger Ale
1.5oz Rye/Whiskey
Directions:
Fill glass with ice cubes. Add whiskey and fill with ginger ale. Stir gently. If you like, add a twist of lemon peel for a garnish.
I don't think that the song has a deeper meaning than we think it does.
