Q: I was just listening to Slow Down, and I wondered: is there any significance to the number 124 in the line "I'm bobbling down 124th street"? Or maybe it just had the right amount of syllables.
A: this is an interesting experiment. try singing it with every different number you can think of.  make sure you sing it from the beginning of the song all the way through to that point each time, or else it doesn't count. and see which one you like the best. your choice might be different than mine, or maybe it will be the same.
