One of my favorite songs, and not because of that line, which is to me a nice brainless throwaway that is great in that it doesn’t get in the way of the melody or mood of the song.
And it’s all about the melody and mood of the song, at the end of the verse where the Wichita Lineman “is still on the line” and the melody rises and the little radio interference morse code beep things come in.
