About "Put A Nickel on My Door [Extended]"

This song was written after moving into a new apartment. One of the movers put a coin in the door hinge to keep the door open so that he wouldn't have to bother me for keys. I thought it was so cool and smart and sleek and simple. I wanted him to teach me other things, like how to build a shelter with one tic tac and how to start a fire with a burp.
