“It’s Me Again, Margaret” by Ray Stevens
Oh, nice one.
Nobody, by Sylvia
“Your nobody called today, she hung up when I asked her name…”
Billy Joel – Sometimes a Fantasy
I didn’t want to do it but I got too lonely
I had to call you up in the middle of the night
I know it’s awful hard to try to make love long distance (pant pant pant)
But I really needed stimulation
Though it was only my imagination
Something from leftfield:
Helge Schneider - Telefonmann
Dire Straights - Calling Elvis

No phone call, though.
ABBA also has Ring Ring.
