Time to retire the idiom?

Seen here:

Yesterday I told the kids that I was sounding like a broken record. Then I had to explain what I meant, since they have absolutely no idea:
  • what a record is,
  • how it works, or
  • how it can still work when broken, and thus
  • why it then sounds like it does.
Sigh. I'm not just their Dad, I'm now officially an old fogey.
