i need to know what 'roquefort le pont' means. i know 'le pont' mean the bridge, but i can't find what roquefort means and its annoying me. when i looked it up on the internet all i got was cheese and butterflies... i don't think that's what i'm looking for.
the line comes from the INXS song "god's top ten" (on their new album) and i REALLY want to know what it means. any help would be great

Zut alors is not real French. I asked my Spanish teacher (who is French) and that was what he said.

Jon: It's actually meant to be Roquefort Le Pin. That was the name of Michael's house in Nice, in the south of France. I guess we'd have to ask Andrew exactly why he used it in a song though. I would ask him, but he's not here right now! Sorry.

Almost right. Roquefort is a town or area (not sure which, I think the former) in France, where the cheese by the same name COMES FROM.
