Remember placing a call with an operator?

Dialing Directory Assistance?  A collect call?  I think most of the younger generations have no idea that a "long distance call" used to be a big deal.

Which leads me to another song that those of us who were around before cell phones were a thing can still appreciate: this one is a cover of Jim Croce's Operator...

The operator is just someone to talk to, since his girl done run off with his ex-best friend, Ray.
