"Joe le Taxi" is a song about a taxi driver (after the songs popularity, cabbies were nicknames "Joes"). It's sort of a strange song for a 13-year-old to sing, even though the lyrics were rewritten to be more appropriate for her age. It's a profile of Joe, who knows where all the little bars are, where all the Algerians hangout. He's got a thing for rum, Latin music, and his sax, and dreams of going to the Amazon. Fun facts: Xavier Cugat is "the most popular Latin-American bandleader of the forties," and Yma Sumac is an oldtime Peruvian folk singer of Inca tunes. The single was released April 27, 1987, with the B-Side "Varvara Pavlovna," and went straight to the top of the international charts, keeping Madonna from the No. 1 spot in France and becoming the second French artist to have a No. 1 in Britain.
