Thank you thank you for posting this song which I love and no one in the US knows it.

[zoelynn69]

OMG I remember this song when I was a little girl. My dad would be warming up the car for my mom so that she could drop us off a school and we would hear this song on the radio every morning.

[sceneangel99221]

[Rotavator06]

I grew up to this song. Singing along with it with my mother in the car when I was 4 was amazing.

My brother worked for the phone company when this song came out. I loved it. It was considered really "bad" and was banned from the radio in our area. So funny!!

[littlelady60]

I still remember every word!

[mizbuggy]

I loved this song when I was younger - got in trouble for playing it at school - LOL!

[MjayzToonz]

@mizbuggy

Ha ha,glad you enjoyed hearing it again,thanks for adding it to your faves !

[loopylynda01]

@mizbuggy Me too lol :o)

[simply7414]

@mizbuggy i thought this song was all a dream...lol- i thought i would NEVER hear this song again.

[Zed1967]

I remember this song when I was a kid and innocently thought it was just about a guy installing a phone into a woman's flat, not knowing that she was a woman of easy virtue having something installed in herself as well. Gives a whole new meaning to the term ''dog and bone'' lmao ;)

[WalkerBros4Ever]

@Zed1967 Check out Billy Swan's "I'm her fool" for further "double entendres" where he sings "I run like a dog when she calls me and pats me when I bury my bone"......... I kid you not!!!

[jimsradiomusic]

The song was written and produced by Boomer Castleman.

[DaveWollenberg]

@jimsradiomusic Boomer produced it, alright, but, Meri wrote it by herself, accordin' to the Billboard Pop Annual. Be blessed!

[dueroden]

She has such a cute laugh! Sounds like she's having so much fun recording this song.

[pigs3diff1s1977]

gayest song in the history of music

[southalboy]

I have the 45 to this song.It was crazy even in the 80's

[bubs101able]

Whats the Ding A Ling !!!! well sounds like she's really enjoyed what ever it may be !!

[Mitzilola]

I probably only ever heard this song about 5 times when it came out, but I've never forgotten it !! A great rediscovery, thankyou for posting it. I love the innuendos which were par for the course back then in a less open but somehow more innocent world. Think I'll forward this to my local telecom company!

[authenticpoppy]

@Mitzilola What a great song. I memorized all the words to this when I was a teen and sang it constantly. I STILL remember the words. I can't remember where I put my car keys, but I can remember the lyrics to this song. *sigh* This is the way we age.

In either case, I'm glad to see someone else on You Tube who remembers the same things. :)

[MrWhistlejacket]

Didn't know she'd died....RIP and thanks for leaving us such a classic. x to you Meri

[wadesterz48]

Thanks for posting this...been a long time since I heard it.

[smokingolejerry]

I always loved this song. Worked for South Central Bell/BellSouth 38 yrs. Could tell many stories, oh yeah;-)

[thespotteddog]

I was a teenager when this came out. We got all the double meanings and laughed like hell when we thought we were putting one over on our parents. How times have changed.

She died in 2002, at the age of 53, after she lost control of her car on Highway 377 in Americus, Georgia, during an ice storm
