I also love that so many of the words are "lotta" and "gonna" and "a-coolin," and then just to the right of "baby," there's the very polite "woman." Except it's not really polite when Robert Plant sings it. Yes, either his biological clock was ticking, or he just really loved babies.

The writers and performers of the early days seemed to take a fairly antagonistic approach toward anything too mainstream or "establishment," and maybe Woody Allen had achieved that status by the mid-70s?

Another option is to buy full-page sticker paper and make and cut your own. Another 'better' option is to just print large font full-page 'flyers' and tape them to the inside of your car window/s.

Things that people generally won't notice can make or break a place, or so they say. When I walk into a dining room I've never seen, I still have a habit of looking for things that seem as if the owner is hoping no one will notice... assuming the owner even noticed. Dust in certain places, positions of tables and the way traffic flows around them, lights, etc.... It always makes me say to myself, "Wow, sharp manager." or "How in hell are they still in business?" On the other hand, some of the best feeds I've ever had were in filthy dives. If the food is good enough and people know it, I guess they can afford to not give a damn how many cigarette burns are in the springy booths they bought second hand from a condemned truck stop. A good meal makes a hellhole "charming" and "eccentric". I was a restaurant guy for years. Things that people generally won’t notice can make or break a place, or so they say.

The video is totally genius, by the way. There is some true inspiration in it, especially the way the homemade dance videos are cut into it. I can take credit for like seven of the You Tube viewings in the past couple of days. Yep, that sounds like what I remember you saying, and it makes WAY more sense than the way I described it.
