Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

"As Soon As I Pick Up the Phone" -- Conway Twitty/Loretta Lynn

Have it in there.

"Memphis" -- Johnny Rivers

Used Pianosaurus' version.

I listened to the Pete Shelly tune while I was compiling but wasn't grabbed by it.

I may listen to and include other suggestions if I feel like I need to do more work, but at 31 tracks the comp is already pretty big. Plus the downloads I'm paying for are racking up a bit...

Because books.

Oh man, I used to love "I'd Really Love to See You Tonight." Songs from my childhood!

Ann, that's a ferret.

I used to love "I'd Really Love to See You Tonight."

If there's such a thing as a perfect pop song, that's it. And it fits Spidra's theme because it takes place on the phone --

Hello. Yeah, it's been a while.
Not much, how about you?
I'm not sure why I called,
I guess I really just wanted to talk to you.

a three-minute double entendre about having your phone installed

I love songs like that. I'm thinking about it. Her vocal is a bit.... for me.

Funny that I didn't think of Wichita Lineman. It's a bit of a stretch so I probably won't use it, but it's definitely something phone-like.

ETA:

The lyrics to "Mr. Telephone Man" by New Edition seem pretty good. But that piercing synthesizer sound isn't working for me.

I've been thinking about "Sacred Love" for a long while. The vocal was recorded over the phone from a jail.

Ann, that's a ferret.

If you're looking for a Glen Campbell telephone song, there's "See You on Sunday." It's about a divorced man's relationship with his young son. Which consists largely of phone calls and Sunday visits.

You're an encyclopedia, Fred Pete! :)

Just been listening to the radio for 40 years.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

I listened to the Pete Shelly tune while I was compiling but wasn't grabbed by it.

Well, it is pretty basic synth-pop, but the lyrics crack me up.

"Telephone operator, your my aural stimulator!"

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Oh man, I used to love "I'd Really Love to See You Tonight."

To be honest, still love it.
