There are a bunch of songs with calling on the phone as a theme but, there is one that stands out for me:

Call Me at Home by Four Out of Five Doctors.

It is a little dated from a technology stand point. Still, a great song. Those guys never got the attention they should have. They could write great pop songs.

That is my choice. What is yours?

A very strong second place song is Long Distance by Southside Johnny & The Asbury Jukes

Two of the songs that I can remember that I like about phones are:

Operator (That's Not The Way It Feels) by Jim Croce
and
Talk by Coldplay.

I agree on the Jim Croce song, that is a great one.

I am not familiar with the Cold Play number. Still, I'll invest $0.99 and add it in my rotation.

Thanks,

It doesn't really meet the "phone" requirement, but I use "Who Can It Be Now" by Men at Work.

But here are some others that better fit the phone theme:

Hanging on the Telephone - Blondie
Call Me - Blondie
Telephone Line - ELO
Telephone Man - Meri Wilson
Telephone and Rubber band - Penguin Cafe Orchestra (instrumental)
The Phone Call - Pretenders

Here are some others that are pushing away a bit from the phone per say, but along the talking theme.

Come and Talk to Me - Jodeci
Let's Talk Dirty in Hawaiian - John Prine
Everybody's Talkin' - Nilsson
Talk To Me - Stevie Nicks

i use this for my RBT for vzw. i set playlists for different people per prefrence/frequency of calling. everyone else gets the default "who can it be now, etc" playlist. they're all songs like that. my favore it is "calling" by taproot. "you're ca-ca-ca-calling, but i can't hear you..."

I'm not sure I completely understand the criteria, do the lyrics have to be someone having a conversation as if they're on the phone?

Does "Sweet Emotion" Aerosmith count?

867-5309?

Yeah, from what I got, the criteria is just songs about calling on the phone.

"When Sly Calls" by Michael Franks technically he's just leaving messages on the machine though lol

Just listing songs with phone or telephone in the title from Amazon would be in the hundreds. Let's keep it to your favorite song.

Thanks,

[GpCaptMandrake]

Sometimes a Fantasy - Billy Joel

[jdoc77]

Hate Me by Blue October starts out with a phone message.

If we are voting for best.. it has to be 867-5309

Um.. what's that Pink Floyd song where he is trying to call his wife at the beginning from the Wall? .. Dirty Woman.

[anon1239929]

No phone, no phone, I just want to be alone today.

No Phone - Cake

I also used to use Pac Bell - (hed) p.e. as a ringtone, but it's not a very loud song.

Also, what about I Just Called to Say I Love You - Stevie Wonder?

[ArmaK]

Another one of my favorite songs by cake that contains a phone reference is Never There.
