Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

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.

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.

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

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.

"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.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Stranded in a hotel in Asbury Park with half the Bouncing Souls.

Two shows cancelled/rescheduled so far, but an acoustic set in one of the ballrooms -- so that was nice!

I discovered this a bit late, but here's a list of melancholy Christmas tunes (as if you needed that): [link]
