In that song, "We're an American Band," There is a line in the song I can't quite understand..."Hauling Chaquitas in Omaha?"

HUH? noway

Can anyone else figure out what is meant by this? It makes absolutely no sense in the song!!

Out on the road for forty days
Last night in LA, put us in a haze
Sweet, sweet hottie, doin' his act
He stole the whole show and that's a natural fact

Up all night, he heard us sing
I got to tell you rock and roll is his thing
All those ladies, keepin him right
Let's hope that he can make it through the show tonight

We're an American Band
We're an American Band
We're comin' to your town
We'll help you party it down
We're an American Band

Two dudes who meet us in Omaha
Was waiting for our band to return from the show
Feelin good, feelin right it's Saturday night
The hotel detective, he was out of sight

These fine boys, they had a plan
They were out to meet the girls in the band
They said, "come on babes, let's sing a song"
And we proceeded to tear that hotel down

We're an American Band
We're an American Band
We're comin' to your town
We'll help you party it down
We're an American Band
x3

We're an American Band, wooohoo
We're an American Band, wooohoo
We're an American Band, wooohoo

Yeah, but I don't remember the "two dudes who met us in Omaha"...sounds like someone was driving a truck filled with Chaquita bananas through Omaha.....

Four young chaquitas in omaha,
Was waitin for the band to return from the show.
Feelin good, feelin right, its saturday night,
The hotel detective -- he was out-a-sight.
Now, these fine ladies, they had a plan,
They was out to meet the boys in the band.
They said, come on, dudes, lets get it on,
And we proceeded to tear that hotel down.
