I'm thinking that the song uses a person's name for it's moniker, however, I'm happy for anyone to shoot that theory with some truth ...


From what I recall, Mihalis is the Greek equivalent of Michael.

It seems that at one point or another, David counted amongst his possessions a boat (yacht, perhaps??) with that name. Perhaps he wrote the song whilst enjoying a holiday?

Cheers!
