Can anyone explain the significance to the song Chagrin Falls.
I lived very close to Chagrin Falls, OH for about 8 years and have been there many times.

I ... have been there many times.

by design, or neglect?

My interpretation is that Gord saw it one day while they were touring and loved the wordplay on Chagrin.
Also - I do not know if it was intentional but isn't Chagrin Falls the location of the main offices of Clear Channel?

I saw a clip on the news once that took place in Chagrin Falls. A daredevil did a full body burn, and jumped off the water falls.

Daredevil. Chagrin Falls. What a story.

Chagrin Falls - Song Notes

.....
Chagrin Falls is a wealthy community near Cleveland. The song deals with a wandering spirit and the setting is really effective to emphasis how low you can sink, as low as the Antarctic or Chagrin. Gord Sinclair

Etymology: French, from chagrin sad
Date: circa 1681: disquietude or distress of mind caused by humiliation, disappointment, or failure

I've always liked the line "chagrin fell out of her apron"
It's a dark and dirty song indeed. One of the best from PP.

....Chagrin Falls is an actual village in Ohio, and is home to the massive corporate radio and entertainment conglomerate known as Clear Channel. The folks at CC have been accused of monopolistic business practices, curbing freedom of expression in the USA, and generally advancing the decline of American popular culture.

I acutally can't stand that song and think it's by far the worst on PP and one of the worst Hip tunes around. Although there are a few good lines in it, such as the apron line.

I love how opinions vary on The Hip.
Chagrin is in my top 20 Hip songs - and maybe my top ten.
