Correct, it was "5:15" (there is another in one of
Pete's solo songs) and my original post was not to
debate the legitimicy of the words as French lyrics.

Rather, it was to point out that your comment didn't
sit well with me as I live in Montreal and many of my
best friends are French Canadian. Now, since you've
semi-apologized we can drop this triviality and try
and carry on. There are graver things to consider.

Do keep up those Who studies, though! :)

Yes, I believe there is mention of that in Barnes' "Maximum R&B".
The brand name was something akin to "4711" on the '81 tour.
