I had been trying to keep the year of the show somewhat on the downlow, as
some people might regard it as something of a spoiler (you never know when
a new season of MM is going to pick up) but it probably doesn't matter. A
look at some of the other top songs from that week suggest some that may
have been even more relevant thematically to this show, or to the emerging
culture-change wave the characters are about to be hit with (and which is
reflected in some of their wardrobe and home and office furnishings) -
Paint it Black, I am a Rock, It's a Man's World, When a Man Loves a Woman,
and (maybe especially) Little Girl. But I guess the Dusty Springfield is
better suited to the still mostly over-30s of the show slowly and
incompletely adopting to the rock and roll 60s.

I am finding it harder and harder to nod appropriately and sensitively when
my wife and women friends tsk tsk Don for his choice of second wife, and
remember when to say "I know, I can't understand why he dumped Faye
either".
