At first I didn't know what this has to do with the thread, but by the end of line two my brain lit up and I recognized these lyrics. I can't remember phone numbers or the names of people I just met, but a song I heard on a portable phonograph player in my cousin's apartment in Chicago in 1978...that, that's what my brain hangs on to? And now I get it..."dropper". Thanks for the "velvetty" flashback, that was extremely cool.
