Telephone Songs for the show
« on: August 04, 2006, 07:18:58 AM »
Jenn Martino from http://www.thisisarecording.com just emailed me a nice list of telephone-related songs that I might want to use in PLA Radio at some point.  Quite a few of these I haven't even heard of.  Here's the list:

00 Andrew Dice Clay Phone Sex              02:19  mp3    556,192
01 Tommy Tutone 867-5309 Jenny             03:47  mp3  3,646,738
02 Blondie Call Me                         03:35  mp3  6,320,128
03 New Edition Mr. Telephone Man           03:58  mp3  3,815,604
04 Meri Wilson Telephone Man               02:01  mp3  2,438,878
05 Phil Collins Don't Lose My Number       06:36  wma  3,210,563
06 Weird Al Yankovic Phony Calls           03:22  mp3  3,245,915
07 Sugar Ray Answer the Phone              03:35  wma  1,747,295
08 Violent Femmes Telephone Book           01:42  mp3  1,640,451
09 Less Than Jake Jenny (867-5309)         02:16  mp3  4,374,478
10 Depeche Mode Personal Jesus             04:56  mp3  4,747,487
11 Kraftwerk The Telephone Call            08:03  mp3  9,680,896
12 Nitrous Oxide The Telephone Song        02:30  mp3  2,405,065
13 Outkast I'll Call Before I Come         04:18  wma  2,102,103
14 Public Enemy 911 is a Joke              03:17  mp3  3,167,579
15 Raffi Banana Phone                      03:16  mp3  2,355,536
16 Henrietta Pussycat Meow Meow Beautiful  02:20  mp3  4,508,029
17 Unknown Prank Collect Calls             01:39  mp3  1,599,488

Does anyone else know of any other songs that feature telephones or even small phone bits?  Two I can think of is the operator error recording in Weird Al's Albuquerque song and then the cool little international dialing sequence from that Pink Floyd song.

That sugar ray song is a piece of shit.

You could use the part from Sledgehammer where Peter Gabriel's saying, "All you have to do is call me... call me anytime."

There's also Never There by Cake.

That's all that comes to mind off the top of my noggin.

One bit I've been meaning to put in an episode is from Weird Al's Albuquerque.  The part where he sings, "If you'd like to make a call please hang up and try again.  If you need help hang up and then call your operator."

I was waiting to see that get mentioned.

Also, as much as I despise ELO, it ought to be mentioned that they have a few fone-related tunes out there. "Telephone Line" is a really sucky song, but is filled with phreaky noises. No MF, though :(
