ZZ Top - Long Distance Boogie
Now, early this morning I got on that long distance telephone and I called my mama.
I said, "Mama, this is your boy and I'm way down here in New Orleans, Louisiana."
And she said, "That's all right, boy."
And she turned to my papa and she said,
"Papa, our boy's way down there in New Orleans.We cannot let him stay out all night long."
She did!
Long about that time, I heard my papa lean toward my mama. I heard papa tell mama,
"Let that boy boogie-woogie."
He said, "It's in him and it's got to come out!"

I still think it should be songs that mention telephones. I agree, but I was quoting the thread title in my response. Just corrected the title. |

I agree, but I was quoting the thread title in my response. Just corrected the title. I'd say it was an unnecessary correction. The subject was perfectly understandable, and the correctness or otherwise of "which" introducing restrictive clauses and "that" introducing non-restrictive clauses is based on H.F. Fowler's A Dictionary of Modern Usage, and should be treated entirely as a matter of style. |

Fowler's A Dictionary of Modern Usage, and should be treated entirely as a matter of style. Although, just to argue among myself, I got that from Steven Pinker's A Sense of Style, so I just decided to read the entry for "that" in my copy of the Oxford English Dictionary (1971 full, but in micro-text to compact it to 2 volumes), part of the definition is: "The general relative pronoun, referring to any antecedent, and used without inflection irrespective of gender, number, and case. I 1. Introducing a clause defining or restricting the antecedent, and thus complementing its sense. (The ordinary use : referring to persons or things.) Sometimes replaceable by who (of persons) or which (of things), but properly only in cases where no ambiguity results". So make of that what you will. I say no ambiguity resulted in the title. |

I think I geeked out there. Reminds me of the 1950s TV series "What's My Line?". They one point they discussed for several episodes whether the panellists should say "on my left or "at my left" when introducing the panellist sitting next to them. |

"Ring Me Up Heaven, Please, Central" sung by Will Oakland, from 1909. The song is about a young child trying to call her dead father on the telephone.

Going to cheat a little. QOTS "You Would Know" has telephone dialing in the beginning.

Been watching those old game show reruns on Buzzr. I'm surprised no one has mentioned Jim Croce's Operator. |
