Now he’s going to play that damn Vicki Carr record, and when he comes to bed he won’t touch me.

What it means
Our interpretation.
The speaker predicts a sequence in which playing a particular record will be followed by an absence of physical affection. Damn gives the music a place in her complaint, while the final clause brings the focus back to touch. The words anticipate distance without showing what actually happens next.
