Listening to this made me wonder how long people will understand the check metaphor in the lyrics, given how few checks we write nowadays compared to the early seventies, when this song was written.

Funkadelic, just as I knocked back a shot of espresso! Whoo, I am getting dizzy from the awesome.

I think that expression is going to be right up there with the idea of waiting around by the phone. To future generations, it's going to seem unbelievably quaint and adorable, then a little confusing, then downright opaque.
