That's the first pop song I remember liking as a child. Lyrically it didn't make sense to me, but the tune was catchy. I was the next century before I had a chance to hear it again and listen to the words, and figure out what the heck it was about.

You and I are quite close in age, I reckon. I remember her "Downtown" hit, and hearing it in what I thought of as downtown---Aggieville, the little shopping area near campus in the Little Apple.

I was born in 1960. That makes me 46 at the moment, and 47 in just a few spins of the planet. So now you can recon more precisely.

I s'pose the nice thing about "Downtown" was that it could be any downtown you knew of. That whole universality thing.
