I'd forgotten about it.

Even the French can have a good idea once in a while.

it wasn't exactly a happy Bastille Day a few centuries ago, but how about a moment of silence to honor those who died..

I think the French celebrate it as their independance or something like that. I'm not sure. Don't quote me on that

Looks like you need to do a wee bit of research, Dweeb. Then you will understand the song better too.

The Bastille was the main prison of the French monarchy. During the revolution, it was stormed by the rebels who, alas, found it nearly empty. They still celebrate it though.
