    "comment": "Did you know that Summer got the idea when she was working at the offices of her label, Casablanca Records, in Los Angeles? She sent her secretary on an errand, which took her down Sunset Boulevard, a street known for illicit activity. The secretary, who was black, told Summer that the police harassed her, assuming she was a prostitute. This raised the ire of Summer, but also provided inspiration for the song, which came together when she started ad-libbing lyrics in the studio.\n--\nThe famous \"toot-toot\" and \"beep-beep\" vocal interjections were something Donna Summer came up with in the studio after the track was finished. She felt the song sounded a bit empty in parts, so she made up some car sounds to simulate the horns calling for the attention of the prostitutes.",
