Blondie Hanging on the Telephone

From their 1978 album Pararell Lines

Lyrics:

I'm in the phone booth, it's the one across the hall.
If you don't answer, I'll just ring it off the wall.
I know he's there, but I just had to call.
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone.
I heard your mother, now she's going out the door.
Did she go to work or just go to the store?
All those things she said, I told you to ignore.
Oh why can't we talk again?
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone.
It's good to hear your voice, you know it's been so long.
If I don't get your calls then everything goes wrong.
I want to tell you something you've known all along.
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone.
I had to interrupt and stop this conversation.
Your voice across the line gives me a strange sensation.
I'd like to talk when I can show you my affection.
Oh I can't control myself!
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone.
Hang up and run to me! Oh!

@LaFarfalla246 Hey LaFarfalla-- I did dye my hair just like Debbie's although most people in my town didn't know who she was in the early days-- I got alot of stares & rude remarks, but it was all worth it when I was told I looked like her & even mistaken for her--!!

This song was written by Jack Lee - it was released on the Nerves' 1976 single. if you type in the URL of Youtube and add this * watch?v=emy5mA8Ixtc * you can hear the original. It's great. This version is a total Rock n Roll Classic as is the entire album. What an achievement.

@ChrissieBana That's probably true, but the recording industry is EVIL and horribly conservative. They just put out cheap stuff that they believe the unwashed masses will buy. There is no creativity or real quality at all. But then again, it was exactly the same thing back in the 1960s, and probably earlier, and it was the underground, the non-mainstream, that created what was new and worthwhile. Same thing then as now.

@ChrissieBana Hehe, you know more about this than I do.

[ChrissieBana]

@MowgliX Almost everything that's NOT mainstream is pretty good to me. Something that isn't everywhere on the radio or 'music' channels. You know how a lot of people come to some song here on YouTube and they say they were brought there by some television show or a movie? A lot of great music is a part of some soundtrack. And there's lots of new and unknown music in films. And YouTube is full of non-mainstream music, again, you just have to know where to look for that good music.

[MowgliX]

@ChrissieBana Oh yeah? Where's that?

[ChrissieBana]

@FGouveia6 There is good music out there, you just have to look in the right places.
