rotary phone annotated

This song deals with the concept of calling a girl for the first time and all the anxieties that go along with that.

The samples from the intro are from one of the 2 movies that inspired the album, although stealthily cut to remove the characters names and the specifics of that movie. I think the dialogue expresses the concept of a deceptively evil girl. Not evil like animal murder but evil like she's got that look in her eye like a predatory cat. That look is so hot.

Growing up in the 80's my parents had a rotary phone. This big white monster and I even think the receiver was larger then normal.

The Turkish Revolution, aka anderegg, came over one day around 2 pm with a 40 and a notebook. He wrote and spit this verse, which includes the line "I'm a meteorologist". I had a class in college that was taught by TV's own Rick DiMaio from the local FOX affiliate. At the end of the last class he asked me if I had learned anything and I said yes, you inspired my friend to rhyme about meteorology. He then asked to have a copy of the song and I said sure but never got him the cd, which is probably for the best.

I wrote the singy part at the end but I can't (or rather couldn't) write singing shit so it's more like a list of words, per my usual rhyming scheme, but sung at a slower tempo and made to sound like it's coming from the phone.
