I was at a party in the late 70s, and the great old Rolling Stones song "Paint It Black" came on, so I began to sing along. I sang the first line, "I see a red door and I want it painted black," and this guy I didn't know corrected me in utter seriousness, "You've got it wrong! It's 'I see a Rambler and I want it painted black.'"
