Without Love Lyrics

What does "Life's a '45' when you can't buy it" mean? And what is the Perry Como reference about? Any ideas? I love this song though, it's my fave song off the Hairspray soundtrack.

@pt_star a "45" is a record... so the song is saying ... being without love is like a great record that you can't afford.

I don't know about Perry Como. Maybe he was a known bad kisser. lol.
