A lot of people think that this song is about the Vietnam War. In fact, that's what I always thought it was about, too. But I did a couple of Google searches and discovered that it's not about Vietnam at all. It's about a fire that burned down a casino in Montreux, Switzerland. Deep Purple were scheduled to record their sixth album -- Machine Head -- at the casino, but someone lit a flare gun and the whole place burned down. See the Related Link for more information.
