...Tomato Sauce. Like 37-year-old Azzam himself-who was born in Cairo, lives in Geneva, drives a Chevrolet station wagon and speaks five languages-the song is a hybrid, Eurafrican polyglot. Written in French, Italian and Arabic, its lyrics may have been found in a Babel...
...this is, more or less, the story of a fellah who once lived in the Cairo slum of Attarine, is now at Chez Maxim's (where Bandleader Azzam himself hit the big time), and adores his girl "like tomato sauce" (salsa del pommodore in Azzam's pidgin Italian).

...example, a few volunteers could well be used to sample the Waldorf's tomato soup. Let those who have scalded their unwary mouthes speak up. Aud if some agency would furnish several desirable young men to wear August's imported neckwear, one would be greatly aided in seeing oneself as others see one,--and much agony might be averted...
