"Telephone Line" is a song by Electric Light Orchestra.
The song is track two on their 1976 album A New World Record and was the final single to be released from the band's LP until September 2006 when Surrender was released from the expanded reissue.
The song charted in the Top Ten in both the UK and the US, peaking at #8 in the UK and #7 in the US. In 1977 the song would reach No #1 in New Zealand. The US version of the single was released in green vinyl as was the norm for many ELO singles that were also issued in different colors. This was the only single that was green. It bacame the bands first Gold single record.
"Telephone Line" was the theme song of the 1977 film Joyride starring Desi Arnaz Jr., Robert Carradine, Melanie Griffith, and Anne Lockhart, directed by Joseph Ruben. The song is featured in the movie Billy Madison when Billy phones a former high school classmate, played by Steve Buscemi, to apologize for picking on him.
It was also used on HBO's Big Love in the season 2 episode "Vision Thing." [info courtesy: wikipedia.org]

People, don't dismay over the dislikes. The fact that there are people with no taste shouldn't surprise anyone. In fact, I'm surprised there aren't more dislikes given the amount of people with bad taste out there.

Where are all the hot single guys who love ELO? All I want to do is find one and go driving all the time with the windows down, wind blowing back our hair, playing ELO LOUD, singing along and fighting over what album we're gonna listen to next.

It's nice to feel 20 again, listening to the songs of my youth, with the same great girl next to me listening along.
