    Talking 60-70's song eating my brain.... Al Bundy style

    funky song from the 70's I think, has lyrics of:

    Don't call us kid, we'll call you..

    Listen kid wait for the call,
    You ain't bad but we heard it all before.


    Song has a xylophone style opening.....


    Its been buring up my brain like Al's "Follow me" song....

    "Don't Call Us (We'll Call You)" by Sugarloaf

    "Uh, long distance, directory-assistance, area code 212",
    I said, "Hey mama, this is Mr. Rhythm-and-Blues"
    He said hello and put me on hold
    To say the least, the cat was cold
    He said, "Don't call us, child, we'll call you"
    I said, "You got my number?"
    He said, "Yeah, I got it when you walked in the door."

    Don't call us...we'll call you
    Don't call us...we'll call you

    "I got your name from a friend of a friend
    Who said he used to work with you
    Do you remember the all-night preacher from Stereo-92?"
    I said, "Could you relate to our quarter-track tape?
    You know the band performs in the nude."
    He said, "Uh-uh, don't call us, we'll call you."

    "Listen kid, you pay for the call
    You ain't bad, but we 've heard it all before
    Yeah, it sounds like John, Paul and George."

    Anyway, we cut a hit and toured a bit,
    With the song he said he couldn't use
    And now he calls, and begs and crawls,
    It's telephone Deja Vu
    We got percentage points and lousy joints
    And all the glitter we can use, mama,
    So, huh, don't call us, we'll call you!

    You may have heard this one before, too:
    "Listen kid, you pay for the call
    Well, you ain't bad but I've heard it all before."

    Don't call us...we'll call you.
    Don't call us...we'll call you.

    and to think that song kept Sugarloaf from being a one-hit wonder ("Green Eyed Lady")
    Them that can, do; them that can't... memorize Artist and Title
