To: I cannot think of a name
At one time, back in the 70s when car radios had push buttons, I held the world record for channel change (2.7 nanoseconds). I credit this song with helping me set that record!
This song and "Cats in the Cradle" by Harry Chapin were instrumental in my being a Steely Dan fan. At least you knew that you may here one of their songs a week. But some of those songs back then got so tight airplay that if you got stuck on one top 40 station while working or in a store, you would have episodes of Deja Vu every 70 minutes.

I remember getting my first FM radio. It was like a whole new world opened up.

I ‘had’ been a HUGE Creedence fan until Top 40 decided to play them to death! Nearly 40 years later my wife and I were walking around a small group of restaurants trying to decide where to eat. We walked into one and the opening guitar riffs to “Around the Bend” came blasting through the air. I grabbed my wife's arm and said, “somewhere else.”
Top 40 radio has left me feeling like Pavlov's dog for lots of songs from that era!
