Subject: Who Ya Gonna Call - Phone Number Hits of the 80's

Written By: whistledog on 10/24/05 at 12:56 am

I like all 4 of these songs.  I'm going to vote for The Carpenters because I always thought that song was very underrated.

According to google, that one was a Dutch only track.  I have not heard of it until now.  I could edit the poll to include it :)

Please don't - I can't stand the song!. :P I was just being curious. It surprises me to find out that it was a Dutch only track, considering the popularity of both artists.

I remember.  But I think it was recorded in '88 or '89.  But I guess it's technically '90s.  The problem is, there really are just a few phone number songs.  "Beechwood," for instance, is a remake from an early 1960s hit.

No.  This poll is for songs with Phone Numbers in the title

This thread here --> http://www.inthe00s.com/index.php/topic,13961.0.html is another thread about songs about telephones
