Flip phone, Blackberry, iPhone or Android, here’s a playlist dedicated to that little piece of technology you love to blab-blab-blab on.
™Cellular Phone∫ by Jacks Mannequin
Um…the oddest, yet sweetest song ever? Possibly. With a blustery-romantic mix of infirmaries and vampires, this song turns the ordinary cell phone into the only connection between to lovers that are much more star-crossed than any plain ol’ Romeo and Juliet.
™867-5309/Jenny∫ by Tommy Tutone
When this song comes on at the party, everyone sings along. Even if you only know the chorus, sing along as loud as you can and hope that Jenny hears you.
™Video Phone∫ by Beyoncé ft. Lady Gaga
This tune was originally released in 2008 on that sassy Sasha Fierce’s third album. You won’t be able to stop your head from bobbing awkwardly and singing aloud, “If you want me you can watch me on your video phone” all Beyoncé-style.
™I Love You, You Imbecile∫ by Pelle Carlberg
This Britty-acoustic tune made the list simply for one little lyric, and one lyric alone: “I love the way you talk, I love the way you stalk me with your mobile phone.” And that’s it.
™Call Me, Beep Me (Kim Possible Theme Song)∫ by Christina Milan
This is possibly the most clever and catchy theme song to a Disney television show. And who could ever forget Kim Possible’s signature “beep-beep-ba-beep” text tone when the super-redhead is needed to save the day?
™Good Time∫ by Owl City and Carly Rae Jepsen
In the second verse Jepsen drops her phone in the pool, making everyone who has ever been unlucky enough to let their phone fall into a collection of water –even into the toilet — collectively shudder and cry.
™Cell Phones Ringing (In The Pockets Of The Dead)∫ by Willie Nile
This tune has a great beat and melody, but a message that is grimmer than going over your allotted talk minutes for the month. Nile sings about “believers and infidels (that) are fighting in the heat, while bodies of the innocent are covered with a sheet.” This song is New York grit at it’s best.
™Ringtone∫ by Weird Al Yankovich
I’m not really sure of this song’s purpose. And I think that’s why it’s great.
