You wanna talk about Operators?
I’m thinking of that song
“Sylvia’s Mother”
by Dr. Hook & the Medicine Show. 1972
“..And the Operator says “Forty Cents more, for the next three minutes!”
One of my favorites for exercising:
“Operator” - Manhattan Transfer

I heard that song the other day. Hadn’t heard it in years!
