Operator, well could you help me place this call?

There’s something in my eyes, you know it happens every time
I think about a love that I thought would save me

I Just Called To Say I Love You by Stevie Wonder

I was going to say Lionel Ritchie’s Hello, but it’s not about an actual phone call. Just Lionel wondering where the love of his life is.

Oh I’ll be right here at home
All you gotta do is pick up
Your telephone and dial now

The Turtles: Happy Together

If I should call you up
Invest a dime
And you say you’re the one to me
And ease my mind
Imagine how the world could be
So very fine
So happy together

“Telephone” from Shelby Lynne;

“…I never really thought you would answer.
Now it’s a big blown up thing.
I wish you hadn’t been at home when the telephone rang.”

[Snowboarder_Bo]

Memphis, Tennessee By George Thorogood

Which is the actual title of the song written and originally recorded by Chuck Berry I mentioned in my earlier post.

ETA: And of course there’s a wiki for this.

Dr. Hook: Sylvia’s Mother

Sylvia’s mother says, ‘Sylvia’s busy
Too busy to come to the phone’
Sylvia’s mother says, ‘Sylvia’s tryin’
To start a new life of her own’
Sylvia’s mother says, ‘Sylvia’s happy
So why don’t you leave her alone?’

And the operator says, ‘40 cents more for the next 3 minutes’
Please Mrs. Avery, I just gotta talk to her
I’ll only keep her a while
Please Mrs. Avery, I just wanna tell 'er goodbye

Glen Campbell: Wichita Lineman

I hear you singing in the wire
I can hear you through the whine
And the Wichita lineman
Is still on the line

I’m not sure it’s about a phone call, but it’s certainly about phones.

It Must Be Him – Vikki Carr

I tell myself don’t be a chump
Who cares, let him stay away
That’s when the phone rings and I jump
And as I grab the phone I pray

Let it please be him, oh dear God
It must be him or I shall die
Or I shall die
Oh hello, hello my dear God
It must be him but it’s not him
And then I die
That’s when I die
