The song paints a picture of gangsters and other shenanigans using quotes and It was just the way Vangelis played the music at that moment, I said it felt like an old style movie, and he would do his ‘Douglas Fairbanks’ impersonation, so I said let’s get some actors to pretend to be Cagney or Bogart, and so on…that’s how we built the song; it was based on the “Maltese Falcon’ movie, where Peter Lorre was Mr Cairo, the fat man was Sidney Greenstreet and Humphrey Bogart was the private eye…such a fun thing to do…great production from Vangelis. Whenever I come across this album, my immediate recollection is of feeling diddled. I bought the album very soon after it was summer road trip.

Reviews

The title, “The Friends of Mr. Cairo,” carries symbolic significance. Mr. Cairo represents a metaphorical figure who embodies the struggles and disorientation faced by the song’s protagonists. The friends surrounding Mr. Cairo symbolize the various influences, relationships, and external forces that impact one’s journey through life. 3.

Pretty kind of useless, though, don't you think so Mary?
