      I sometimes remember that line when I'm at work and people want to put on the radio. I never see the point. If I want to listen to something, I'll just get it to play in my head.

      Reminds me of a time I was playing a gig at the only club in Espanola, Ontario. The afternoon shift from the pulp and paper plant got off at 11:pm. While we were on stage, all these guys came in, hit the floor, and started doing the "Gator". Unforgettable!

    I just played this for my daughter. She didn't realise it was actually a real song, and all her life (she's now 24), she wondered why I'd go 'round saying, "I like strangling budgies, I'm what you call an animal lover", etc.,. Now she knows.
