For a number of reasons, I have always viewed that year as a pivotal turning point in my life. That was the year that I left boyhood behind and started taking the first few steps down the path that has brought me to where I am today and on the path that I still tread. So, when I hear music from that year, I automatically get reminiscent. The song was “Heaven On The 7th Floor” by Paul Nicholas , which I still love and will hopefully still find a way to move my body to even when I’m a very old man.
CLICK ME!
Heaven On The 7th Floor
Going up, she said, uh huh
Just as we had started
To climb together, hoo, hoo
Looking up, I said
Hey, look, umm
Maybe I could see you tonight
And she said, never
Thought I was out of luck
But ten seconds later
Somehow we got stuck
In that elevator, woo
Heaven on the 7th floor
(Ha ha ha ha ha)
Heaven on the 7th floor
(I wanna tell you)
I`ve never been so high before
So don`t you rescue me
Never set me free
Hey, hey, hey
We`re alone, I said, oh yeah
Looks like we could
Be here all night together
Hoo, hoo
There`s a phone, she said, uh huh
You`d better have us out
In five minutes time, whatever
Please could you make it ten
I told the operator
I`m having so much fun
In this elevator
Heaven on the 7th floor
Heaven on the 7th floor
(I`m up in Heaven and I)
I`ve never been so high before
So don`t you rescue me
Never set me free
Hey, hey, hey
I`m in Heaven
I`m in Heaven
Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo
Heaven, hoo, hoo, hoo
And as the Muzak played
Sooner or later I knew
We`d fall in love in the elevator
Heaven on the 7th floor
Heaven on the 7th floor
Heaven on the 7th floor
Heaven on the 7th floor
I`ve never been so high before
So don`t you rescue me
Never set me free
Hey, hey, hey
Heaven on the 7th floor
Heaven on the 7th floor......

I know this is an old entry of yours, but I see a lot of guys mistake this song for a playful love song about getting some on the elevator, and I usually try to excuse it by saying they probably don't know the actual lyrics.
But you don't have that excuse, because you have the lyrics right there. So, please, ask yourself this: why is he having fun being around a chick who doesn't want to be around him? And why does he think she'll fall in love with him after she already said no, she didn't want to date him? Don't you think it's creepy and stalkerish to think that the girl who just rejected him and doesn't want to be around him is going to fall in love with him just because they're stuck on an elevator together?
I pity that poor woman. Ugh.
