We asked Pam how this song came about. Here's her story: A friend had called me with a really bad joke about Antony and Cleopatra.The punch line was "Because she was Cleopatra, queen of denial". The phrase stuck in my mind. That night Bob, Jan and I went to writer's night at the bluebird. I was inspired by the creative environment. A writer was performing and I kept thinking the next line should be "How gone is goodbye", but that's another story. Afterwards, we went to Perkin's for pancakes. I was full or energy and talked Bob and Jan into staying up all night to write songs. I'm a binge writer. We went home, made a pot of coffee and I grabbed the guitar and just started playing. I knew I wanted an up-tempo song. "Cleopatra" just fell out in a fit of creativity! So there you have it. One bad joke, one great writer's night and a few pancakes later... "Just call me Cleopatra everybody, 'cause I'm the Queen of Denial"
