I am trying to write a piece about at the drive-in for some coursework at school. There are some things I need help with and i've tried to find information about em but there is non damn it. So if you know what I need to know pleeeease could ya help me out. First thing i really need to know is what the song 'Napolean Solo' is based on and the name meaning. And the only other thing is a really cool way to desribe at the drive-in in one sentence. thank you for taking the time to read this  |

Napolean Solo is about two girls in an other band who used to hang out with the ATD-I members. They died on a road trip/tour to Austin hence the lyric: "...from Austin's yellow brick road, this is forever." They died on March 23rd in a really bad car accedent.  As for the meaning behind the name I do not know. I hope this helps. |

Maybe you mixed up ATDI and Weezer or maybe it happened the same thing to both cause weezer had two die-hard fans, Mickel and Carli, that went to all ther shows and knew everything from Weezer. One day, they died in a car accident and, later, weezer did a tribute song for them.

No, trust me. This happened to them. I have a direct connection to Omar. ;D

At The Drive-In 'was' and STILL, a very rockin' rock and roll band, and if you don't believe it, buy ANY of their CDs and they'll justify my argument. Hope that 'sentence' helps.. peace

the title "napoleon solo" isn't directly connected to the song. through an interview cedric stated that was the name of a member of U.N.K.L.E....
