Comment:

When I looked at the telephone songs at my disposal, I saw a theme: bad vibes transmitted via telephone. In this collection you'll find loneliness, obsession, rejection, karmic backlash, other mules kicking in other stalls, maddening busy signals, drunken longing, natural disasters, unfaithfulness, shady characters to be avoided, teary goodbyes, and a final blowoff. Enjoy!

Nice work. 'Memphis' would have fit in as well.

Ooh ooh ooh -- I was going to do this mix! But my version has Tom Waits' "Martha", sob. (Admittedly, it also has "Memphis" performed by Tiny Tim, so maybe you're driving on the straight tracks after all.)
