Question: Who is the Queen of Corona?
Answer: Rosie is the Queen of Corona in the Paul Simon song "Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard." Mr. Simon says the song was "pure confection" and had no meaning to real people or events. It's just a catchy tune and he got a laugh out of singing the lyrics. In other words, there is no Queen Rosie. She's Queen only in song.
Corona is a real place -- a neighborhood in Queens, New York, one of the five boroughs of NYC. Corona is known for being the long-time home of Louis Armstrong, the famous jazz musician. The name Corona means "crown" in Spanish and Italian, which makes Rosie "Queen of the Crown."
