I want a new duck
A mallard I think
One that won't make a mess of my house
Or build a nest in the bathroom sink

CSB: For a time when I was a kid, our phone number was one off from the town movie theater. People would call wanting to know what was playing, "Is Patty working today?", etc. We kept the movie listings next to the phone.
We weren't going to change our number, after all, we had been there first!

Dress codes used to be a lot stricter, and trousers weren't considered appropriate professional attire for women until about the 1970s. For that matter I can remember some workplaces requiring hose and heels for women into the 1990s.
Coat and tie would have been required for men, or maybe just an ironed shirt and tie for a male bank teller.

My mom was born in 1933 and in the late '90s and early 2000s I was trying to convince her to get an emergency, pay-as-you-go cell phone to keep in the car, in case she broke down somewhere. By that point coin-operated pay phones had become really hard to find so she might not even have been able to call AAA to get a tow truck.

1981 was a bit early for Wham!--"Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go" didn't hit until 1984.

For the people who don't get the visual reference here, Billy Idol was the lead singer of the band "Generation X" before he had a solo career.
