I absolutely love this song a lot for just how weird it is and I always thought of it as Paul commenting on sexism and how women are viewed and portrayed in bureaus, and I was disappointed when all he says about it is that the idea of a "disposable secretary" struck him as being funny. *sigh*. I still hold my original read, though, despite Paul saying that it was just something that he had a laugh about...
Oh, and then there's the cover for the single.....

On-topic: TS is sometimes fun, sometimes annoying as hell, it all depends on my mood when it comes on.

Offline Nice...I had vague plans to buy one of the MS-20 Minis several years ago but never followed through. They don't have sequencers, anyways.
