You need someone to give you a bump. You're skipping. I think we probably have to explain to some of the youngsters here that there used to be a medium called a "record" that consisted of a vinyl disk with a single, spiral grove that ran from the outer edge to the center. This grove had sound information encoded as analog waves which a phonograph "needle" would read by physical contact with the grove. This physical contact would wear down the grove and an older record would become worn enough that the needle would no longer track the grove smoothly. When the needle jumped from one point in the grove it would "skip" back to an already-played portion, usually one revolution back. This would cause a tedious, endless repeating of the same portion of the recorded program until the listener bumped the phonograph causing the repeated section to be skipped.
