Normally, this song makes me think of Martin Scorsese’s movie Casino. And mountains of cocaine, for the obvious reasons. Today, a Skype conversation made me think of the song, so the roles have been reversed. A colleague was trying to get me on a Skype call, and messaged me the following:
Can you see me calling?
Change “Can” to “Can’t” and “calling” to “knocking”, and bingo, you’ve got The Rolling Stone’s “Can’t You Hear Me Knocking”. So after the call, I headed over to YouTubes, and found this little piece of magic. The Stones from back in 2003 – which is now 10 years ago, if you can believe it.
PS: I’m not the only one out there whose mind pulls up related song lyrics during conversations, am I? To be honest, it happens most frequently with Bob Dylan songs, but as with this particular case, it can vary.
