No, a calliope is the musical instrument (steam or compressed air blowing whistles) that is often associated with a merry-go-round. Anyway: RIP Ray Manzarek, who played keyboards on this track. |

| Their earlier material was unique and not repetitive like this. Plus this tune has a plodding hook. I haven't heard this in years, and by the end I knew I won't miss it. |
| Great beat and drum backgroud |

There are several diners that serve coffee and may let you play with your laptop. Go around back, yell "I need hashish", and watch the magic begin! horstman, you never fail to deliver |
| There's a little bit that keeps popping up that makes me think of The Kids in the Hall. |

Way to RTP, redefining borders! Hey, while you are at it, can you relocate NY to Amsterdam, I need a coffeeshop!
