Weird topic but I'd like to hear some songs where telecommunication is the theme of the tune, or at least plays a part in the lyrical story. Some co-workers and I were reminiscing about the days before cell phones when people waited around at home for phone calls; phone calls were important, talking to people was important.

Remember when someone would pick up the line when you were trying to get fresh over the phone?

Oh yeah, those were the days!


I'll start with a couple, but please help me build the list!

You would seriously love an artist that goes by Trevor Something. Thanks for posting.

This is my favorite phone call song.
Even the vocals are lo-fi

I think this one might qualify.

Great idea, will get some old tunes i am sure as it has completely disappeared from our lives at this stage in my country.

Don't know if this one comes close, at the start it has a old fashion phone call and the guy singing sounds like its from a answering machine.

Fixed that for ya. That was actually the first song I thought of. I knew someone would post it eventually.




FYI: You just need to use the short code that comes after the " ...?v= "

Sorry. Still can't post video but there's the lesser known "Are you there?" By Wink (Josh) -Ovum Records.

Or "If Madonna calls (I'm not here)." By Sam Paganini. - UMM records.

Not even sure if there are videos for these.

Edit to add.
Would the old punk bank 999 qualify? 999 being the emergency services number for the UK.

There are probably so many songs with this theme, I don't know if we could post them all. I can think of several, but here's a more obscure one...

"Call me"- Blondie

And dozens more...

"Hello Again"- L. Richie

All these from my own performance lists...

Any reggae fans remember Telephone Love by T. C. Lodge?

Had to go and dig through an old box looking for that record because I couldn't remember the artist!

Another edit.
I could be stretching definitions here. FAX +49-69/450464 Frankfurt.

Legendary techno/ambient record label run by Peter Kuhlmann.
More popularly known as Pete Namlook.

Some awesome music on that label and I had to include it as a personal favourite....."It's so simple to do" by Pulsation.
