Rockwell - Obscene Phone Caller

Postby bushidoz » Sun Jan 15, 2006 12:55 am

I know you can find Rockwell's Somebody's Watching Me on many CD compilations, but is his second signle ( another Top 40 hit) called Obscene Phone Caller available on CD anywhere?

Wow, I totally forgot about that song. As I recall, it sounded a lot like "Somebody's ...", or at least the chorus did.

This is a great song, my favorite part in it is:

"...if Alexander Bell were alive today, would he want the telephone to be used this way?..."

Rockwell's 1st song is about being watched/followed. His other song we know about is phone harassment.

I want to hear the rest of this album. He has a new wave twist on various psychological issues. I'm sure about there's a song about manic depression to an electric drum beat.

The whole album is actually very good.

The song "Knife" is one of my all time favorite ballads.

Is that Michael making the obscene phone calls? Or is he simply the one who does the watching? Cause ya' know, he never touches. [;)]
