Looking for a Song - Don't skip over this thread you dandelions!

[The Amazer]

Anyway,

I don't know the name I don't know the artist. Xena all thought she knew what I was talking about but couldn't pin it down.

It basically starts off with a massive chorus singing the numbers of a telephone number.

Something like FIIIVE SEVEEEN FIIIIVE OHHHHH or something, and then sings about a telephone line in it somewhere.

Xena said it was about calling up a bird and her not being home or something. I heard it on the radio and was just BLOWN AWAY.

By the way, it is definately NOT:

Tommy Tutone - 867-5309 (Jenny) - GOOD ONE SALTY YOU ASSHEAD.

and I'm pretty sure it's not ELO - Telephone Line (by looking at the lyrixx) can anyone help PUH-LEEEEASE?

EDIT 11 YEARS LATER, AND HERE IS THE SONG!

 

[Goreripper]

Is it "Making Love On the Telephone" by Mi-Sex? Probably not. Oh well. Can't help. Sorry.

5.7.0.5.
City Boy

Five seven o five
But there's no reply
Five seven o five

Got myself just one more dime
But will the operator hold the line
When my ears keep telling me
There's no reply, no reply
I pick up the telephone
I go crazy when there's no one home
I feel cheated and small when
My number's on the wall of her room
Call me soon

Hey operator
Five seven o five
But there's no reply
Five seven o five
Why do you keep me hanging on the line

I can't believe that there's no one there
Is this a private number love affair
With your phone booth lover
Still waiting on the wire, high wire
I saw the light shine behind your door
I heard the party on the second floor
But you only pretend that you've been
Visiting friends from abroad, tell me more

Hey operator
Five seven o five
But there's no reply
Five seven o five
Why do you keep me hanging on the line
Mysterious people I can't believe what she done to me
It's too late now
It's all over town

Five seven o five
But there's no reply
Five seven o five
Can you hold the line

City Boy rock, i will have The day the Earth Caught Fire shortly, if amazon don't fuck me over.

 

[JonBonJovi]

Spiff a roo has it!

 

[Spiff]

I rule. Amazing what typing a few lyrics into a search engine will do.

Never heard of the song, never heard of the band. Yet I'm still a deadset legend.

 

[JonBonJovi]

In your lunchbox!

 

[The Amazer]

Thankyou So God Damn Much Spiff.

You Are The Legend Tto The Max Ohhhhh Yes How Good Is This Song?

 

[Bucko]

Heard the song but not in a long time no idea who the band was though............

 

[KoichCPA]

city boy rock, i have only found them in the past 2 weeks.


but seriously, they rock.

 

[Winmar]

Are you sure it's not a song off Sesame Street?

 

[Goreripper]

The best song off Sesame Street was "C is for Cookie" by Chris Barnes, followed by "Lower Case N"

 

[Spiff]

Nah, the best song off Sesame Street is the one that goes:

"One two three foooooouuuuuur five
Six seven eight niiiiiine ten
Eleven Twelve!"

 

[The Amazer]

City Boy.

My band of the moment.

Unbelievable.

 

[The Amazer]

*glug*

So I'm sitting here listening to City Boy. As I have for the past 11 years, the most underrated band of all time.

I have Spiff to thank for finding the song, and Koich for later on sending me this song on MSN:



I like to call it Bohemian Rhapsody's younger brother. It's seriously one of the greatest songs ever written.

So here's to City Boy.

 

[The Amazer]

Nah, the best song off Sesame Street is the one that goes:

"One two three foooooouuuuuur five
Six seven eight niiiiiine ten
Eleven Twelve!"

I also agree this is the best Sesame Street song.

Also, I've edited the original post so people can listen to the song if they want.
