My Latest EP

Which one is your favorite? - XXVII -

This week's song coming from 1980, yes another 80s song :). It is a Blondie song and was produced and co-written by the great Giorgio Moroder. It was also the main theme song of the movie "American Gigolo".

Here is the song for this week;

"Call Me"

"Call Me" was No. 1 for six consecutive weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, where it became the band's biggest single and second No. 1. It also hit No. 1 in the UK and Canada.

European disco producer Giorgio Moroder wrote this with Blondie lead singer Debbie Harry, who thus became the first woman in British chart history to write three #1 hits. However she wasn't Moroder's first choice. The Italian disco king had originally wanted Stevie Nicks to provide vocals on the track but the Fleetwood Mac vocalist declined the offer.

Here are the versions I picked for you;

  • The Dandy Warhols - "Call Me"
  • Tina Arena - "Call Me"
  • Julia Fordham - "Call Me"
  • The Hillbilly Moon Explosion – "Call Me"

Now the floor is yours, go ahead and make your comments (here, Instagram, Facebook wherever you feel like...).


nb. Please note that I intentionally do not include the original versions of the songs as it would be a little unfair to the artists covering the songs, and I am sure that sometimes you will be surprised to see that the songs you thought were the originals are just covers.
