That's one of the "classics" from my era... I can remember countless trips on
the way to the beach with the blasting on the radio.

Oh, and I would guess you're not Catholic (my apologies -- and sympathies --
if you are) because if you were, you would *know*, as I was taught, that The
Madonna was taken by a grey tiger cat and petted its forehead, which is why
they all have that "M" for "Madonna." Oy.

(Unless I'm misinterpreting "meezer." In fact, I have no idea what "meezer"
means. I'm such a newbie!)

Kirkintilloch is nowhere near the sea.  It's a small town north of
Glasgow.  It was a port though - it has a railway station and was
on the Forth and Clyde Canal, so it will have handled a small amount
of waterborne freight (thogh the canal was not very big, it was
hardly in the same league as New Orleans).
