"The Telephone Aria" by Menotti

 

[theluckyrabbit]

"I Enjoy Being A Girl," from Flower Drum Song
I flip when a fellow sends me flowers,
I drool over dresses made of lace,
I talk on the telephone for hours
With a pound and a half of cream upon my face!

 

[Pea-n-Me]

"The Heart of the Matter," Don Henley
I got the call today, I didn't want to hear
But I knew that it would come
An old, true friend of ours was talkin' on the phone
She said you found someone...

 

[Pea-n-Me]

And as I hung up the phone, it occurred to me
He'd grown up just like me
My boy was just like me

 

[theluckyrabbit]

"At The Station," Joe Walsh
Yes, I was out there on the platform
Pay phone keeps eatin' my dimes
And I still don't have an answer
And the train's leavin' right on time...

 

[Pea-n-Me]

Stop all the calls in the world
Till I catch you, girl
Catch you at home
I asked the C.I.A.
If it was okay to use their private phone
Oh, baby, baby

 

[Pea-n-Me]

Any way, we cut a hit and we toured a bit
With a song he said he couldn't use
And now he calls and begs and crawls
It's telephone deja vu
We got percentage points and lousy joints
And all the glitter we can use, Mama
So, uh huh, don't call us now, we'll call you

 

[Pea-n-Me]

And to conclude this morning’s 70’s blast

Sylvia's mother says Sylvia is busy
Too busy to come to the phone
Sylvia's mother says Sylvia is tryin'
To start a new life of her own
Sylvia's mother says Sylvia is happy
"So why don't you leave her alone?"

"All I Wanna Do," Sheryl Crow
They drive their shiny Datsuns and Buicks
Back to the phone company, the record store too
Well, they're nothing like Billy and me...

 

[theluckyrabbit]

"Fire And Rain," James Taylor
Been walking my mind to an easy time
My back turned towards the sun
Lord knows, when the cold wind blows
It'll turn your head around
Well, there's hours of time on the telephone line
To talk about things to come
Sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground...

 

[theluckyrabbit]

"No Reply," The Beatles
I tried to telephone
They said you were not home
That's a lie
'Cause I know where you've been
And I saw you walk in
Your door
I nearly died
I nearly died
'Cause you walked hand in hand
With another man
In my place

"Franklin Shephard, Inc." from Merrily We Roll Along
Then he goes —
(makes an arpeggio motion)
And I go —
(makes a typing motion)
And the phone goes drrrring!
And he goes —
(mimicking Frank's intense business calls into an imaginary phone)
"Mutter mutter mutter mutter yes, Jerome,
Mutter no, Jerome,
Mutter mutter mutter mutter — "
(to Jeffrey)
— That's his lawyer, Jerome —
...

Still the telephones blink
And the buzzers buzz
And I really don't know what he does,
But he makes a ton of money,
And a lot of it for me —
Right?...

And Lin Manuel Miranda:

Telephone Line
Electric Light Orchestra
Hello, how are you? Have you been alright?
Through all those lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely nights
That's what I'd say, I'd tell you everything
If you'd pick up that telephone, yeah yeah yeah
Hey, how you feelin'? Are you still the same?
Don't you realize the things we did, we did
Were all for real, not a dream? And I just can't believe
They've all faded out of view, yeah yeah yeah
Doowop dooby doo doowop, doowah doolang
Blue days, black nights, doowah doolang
I look into the sky
The love you need ain't gonna see you through
And I wonder why
The little things you planned ain't coming true
Oh oh, telephone line, give me some time
I'm living in twilight
Oh oh, telephone line, give me some time
I'm living in twilight
Okay, so no one's answering
Well, can't you just let it ring a little longer, longer, longer, longer, oh
I'll just sit tight through shadows of the night
But let it ring for evermore, yeah yeah yeah, oh oh
Doowop dooby doo doowop, doowah doolang
Blue days, black nights, doowah doolang
I look into the sky
The love you need ain't gonna see you through
And I wonder why
The little things you planned ain't coming true
Oh oh, telephone line, give me some time
I'm living in twilight
Oh oh, telephone line, give me some time
I'm living in twilight
Oh oh, telephone line, give me some time
I'm living in twilight
Oh oh, telephone line, give me some time
I'm living in twilight
