    "comment": "Guitar prodigy Shuggie Otis (real name: Johnny Otis Jr.) wrote this song at the age of 17. Otis wrote it for his girlfriend describing the feelings evoked by \"Strawberry Letter 22,\" the title indicating the hopes of another letter.\n\nIt is commonly believed that she wrote to him on strawberry-scented paper but Otis told Spinner in a 2013 interview that the song has nothing to do with the smell of strawberries. \"What I pictured when I was writing that song, was a girl handing a guy a pink envelope,\" he explained. \"A love letter. The guy and the girl had written each other 22 letters so far. And the 23rd one he writes is a song. But no scents.\"",
