"Letting the Telephone Ring"
by Ani DiFranco
"Get it Together" by Beastie Boys
"Standin outside a broken phone booth with money inmy hands" or something like
that
by Primitive Radio Gods
"Call Me" by Blondie
"11:59" by ?
"Out to Get You" by James
Heidi McClure
There is a song called "Call Me" by Dennis DeYoung (from Styx) on his 1986
album Back to the World.
Here are the lyrics that came with the tape:
Call Me by Dennis DeYoung
Rain began to fall softly
as she gazed around the room
Even now she wondered what went wrong
A letter in her hand trembled
As she placed it by the phone
All at once there were footsteps by the door
She didn't want a confrontation
To tear them apart
She wasn't sure of all the feelings
Racing through her heart
I looked into her eyes knowing
Something wasn't right
And suddenly the tears began to show
Babe I know that it's wrong
But you know I'm really not that strong
How I wish I could tell you that I am
But before I even read this letter
I want you to stay
But if I see your mind's made up
There's one thing I've got to say
CHORUS:
You can call me
Baby if you ever change your mind
Believe when I say to you
Any time will be alright
You can call me
Only seven numbers on the phone
Maybe we can talk things over
You're never that far from home
No, no, no, baby you're not alone
Another season
Another Change
Two hearts are breaking
With no one to blame
I know the reasons
You want to go
But if you find that you still want me
There's one thing that you know
REPEAT CHORUS
Also, there's the song I'd Really Love to See You Tonight by England Dan &
John Ford Coley. The whole song is a phone call. it starts like this:
Hello, yeah it's been a while
Not much, how about you?
I'm not sure why I called
Guess I really just wanted to talk to you
If you're just looking for references to a phone or phone call in a song,
how about these:
You've Got a Friend by James Taylor
Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall
All you've got to do is call
And I'll be there
You've got a friend
Fire and Rain by James Taylor
Well there's hours of time on the telephone line
To talk about things to come
Sweet Dreams and final scenes in pieces on the ground
Kayleigh by Marillion
Kayleigh, I just want to say I'm sorry,
but Kayleigh I'm too scared to pick up the phone
Every Little Thing She Does is Magic by The Police
I resolve to call her up a thousand times a day
And ask her if she'll marry me in some old fashioned way
Separate Lives by Phil Collins & Marilyn Martin
You call me from the room in your hotel
All full of romance for someone that you met
You Won't See Me by the Beatles
When I call you up your line's engaged
I have had enough so act your age
No More Lonely Nights by Paul McCartney
I can wait another day
Until I call you
Let's Go Crazy by Prince
I just picked up the phone
Dropped it on the floor
[heavy breathing] was all I heard
All Out of Love by Air Supply
I'm lying alone
With my head on the phone
Thinking of you 'til it hurts
My Life by Billy Joel
Got a call from an old friend
We used to be real close
Said he couldn't go on the American way
Hope these helped,
-Heidi

Why do you keep me hangin' on the line?
I can't believe that there's no-one there
Is this a private number love affair?
With your phone-booth lover still waiting on the wire (high wire)
I see the light shine behind your door
I heard the party on the second floor
But you only pretend that you've been visiting friends from abroad
Tell me more

Don't Call Us, We'll Call You
- Sugarloaf/Jerry Corbetta
- peaked at #9 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1975
"Uh, long distance, directory-assistance, area code 212",
I said, "Hey mama, this is Mr. Rhythm-and-Blues"
He said hello and put me on hold
To say the least, the cat was cold
He said, "Don't call us, child, we'll call you"
I said, "You got my number?"
He said, "Yeah, I got it when you walked in the door."
Don't call us... we'll call you
Don't call us... we'll call you
"I got your name from a friend of a friend
Who said he used to work with you
Do you remember the all-night preacher from Stereo-92?"
I said, "Could you relate to our quarter-track tape?
You know the band performs in the nude."
He said, "Uh-uh, don't call us, we'll call you."
"Listen kid, you pay for the call
You ain't bad, but we 've heard it all before
Yeah, it sounds like John, Paul and George."
Anyway, we cut a hit and toured a bit,
With the song he said he couldn't use
And now he calls, and begs and crawls,
It's telephone Deja Vu
We got percentage points and lousy joints
And all the glitter we can use, mama,
So, huh, don't call us, we'll call you!
You may have heard this one before, too:
"Listen kid, you pay for the call
Well, you ain't bad but I've heard it all before."
Don't call us... we'll call you.
Don't call us... we'll call you.

Oh, could you help me place this call
See, the number on the matchbook is old an faded
She's living in LA
With my best old ex-friend Ray
A guy she said she knew well and sometimes hated
Well, isn't that the way they say it goes
But let's forget all that
And give me the number if you can find it
So I can call just to tell them I'm fine and to show
I've overcome the blow
I've learned to take it well
Only wish my words could just convince myself
That it just wasn't real
But that's not the way it feels
Operator
Oh, could you help me place this call
I can't read the number that you just gave me
Something in my eyes
You know it happens every time
I think about the love that I thought would save me
But ...

Let's forget about this call
No one there I really wanted to talk to
Thank you for your time
You've been so much more than kind
You can keep the dime
Well, isn't that the way they say it goes
But let's forget all that
And give me the number if you can find it

There's a song from the '50's that goes something like:
Operator Can you help me get in touch with my Marie
She's the only one who'd call me here from Memphis Tennessee
She did not leave her name, but I know who placed the call,
'Cause my uncle took the number and he wrote it on the wall.
There's also a song by ELO that goes something like:
Telephone line, give me some time, I'm living in twilight.
There's one from Foreigner that I think is called "Hold the line, love isn't
always on time," whatever that means.

Chuck Berry, "Memphis, Tennessee."

It's called "Telephone Line," oddly enough.
> There's one from Foreigner that I think is called "Hold the line, love isn't

The song's by Toto, actually.
Some phone songs I can think of offhand (and one act):
Mojo Nixon & Skid Roper--"(619) 239-KING" (a real number that will get you
Mojo's answering machine and info about what he's doing now)
The B-52's--"6060-842"
Jim Croce--"Operator (That's Not the Way it Feels)"

with a song called Telephone man. It was all about an affair with the repair man..
THe only lyrics I can remember are....
Hey Baby, I'm your telephone man,
If you tell me where you want it,
then I'll put it where I can.
I can put it in the bathroom,
I can put it in the hall,
I can put it in the bedroom
Or anywhere at all....

a message on the answering machine... "Hello, are you there?" a talking
sort of song.

Operator, are you sure -- that line's busy all this time
Wont you please dial the number
OPERATOR, dial the number
I've gotta reach that baby of mine
I've gotta tell him that I'm sorry
for the things I've said
sorry as I can be -- so,
wont you please dial the number,
OPERATOR, dial the number
and see if you could get him to talk -- talk to me.
I wonder who he's talkin' to for so long
I hope he hasn't found somebody new
oh oh oh wont you please - cut in
because it's an emergency
and tell my baby- tell my baby - forgive me
I've gotta tell him that I'm sorry
for the things I've said
sorry as I can be -- so,
wont you please dial the number
OPERATOR, dial the number
and see if you could get him to talk -- talk to me.
