I don’t see what’s so funny about that! You’ve never been to one of those kinds of parties, where you clear all the furniture out of the living room (it’s best with a hardwood floor) and crank up “Stagger Lee”, “Rock and Roll Is Here To Stay”, “Rock Around the Clock”, et al, and jitterbugged, with the crossovers and everything?

(Of course, we were in a house, not an apartment, and it wasn’t ear-splittingly loud…)
