Not enough guitars for Godspeed, I reckon, but it definitely deserves a place alongside "Telephone and Rubber Band" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RWZ4pve5Mkc) and "Opus Number 1" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KqB8v14U_zs). Any other good telephone related tracks?

Keep Talking (no phone call in the actual song, but Stephen Hawking’s voice was taken from a British Telecom advert — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keep_Talking): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJ7zbzJZsjs

"Providence" from Sonic Youth's Daydream Nation features a clip of a forlorn message from Mike Watt to Thurston Moore: https://youtu.be/HNo5dCbKy0g?t=62

"Hangin' On The Telephone" - The Nerves (not the Blondie cover!)

Such a great song. I love the original, he sounds like Weird Al! Beats the Blondie version hands down imho...
