@@rommix0 It’s something about the words that really is hard to let go..It’s almost impossible not to sing the lyrics repeatedly especially the chorus when Michael Bevins is rap/talking..who can resist harmonizing while he is speaking to the operator.

@Alysia Williams Yeah, Ray Parker jr was a bit of an underrated artist back in the 70's and 80's. He was an in-demand session guitarist who played on a lot of records and wrote a number of hits (for himself and others). He also recorded an early demo version of the song which eventually became "You Make Me Feel Like Dancing". It was stolen from him, he wasn't given the songwriting credit and it became a massive no.1 hit for Leo Sayer.
The 80s was a whole vibe. Down to the mall hair and acid washed jeans. In 1984 Prince not only ruled the air waves but also the hottest summer movie of the same name as the soundtrack. "Purple Rain". It was friggen electric.
I want to go to the '80s to go meet Michael Jackson and every other singer cuz I was born in April 26th 2008 I never was born in the 80 I wish I was I like the music
I was 3 going on 4 but I always remember this song and one of my earliest memories is looking at this album cover (my parents had it). Im 40 years old now.
I was 13 when this song came out. Now that I'm 50 in 2022, I'm still jamming to it as if it was 1985. Man, I wish I was a kid again growing up to this music.
I only found out about this song a few days ago because someone kept blasting it in the showers of my dorm. Now I can't stop listening to it, it's so upbeat yet the lyrics have a sadness to them that gives the song this balanced melancholic feeling that I love. Honestly, in my opinion it hits pretty similar to some Japanese city pop songs from the time.
I remember singing this song with my cousins as a child. New Edition was like the 80's version of The Jackson 5. All the girls loved Ralph and Bobby. The energy of the music was so great back then. Oh, I miss them days. Looking at these iconic videos bring back alot of good times growing up.
The blend of the smooth techno and bass guitar makes this song a beautiful piece of musical art it sounds so retro but not in a bad way it's the type of song that makes you want to turn off all the lights and put on some headphones and gets you thinking about that one girl you had a crush on back in 6,7th grade. There has never been a song that I've heard that puts off this vibe
Listen to Ray Parker Jr 'A Woman Needs Love (Just Like You Do). Same melody same vibe. Ray Parker Jr wrote both songs.th-cam.com/video/QvBmtqyaijI/w-d-xo.html
@@mariahyohannes that's your opinion🤷♀️. I'm going off FACTS😌, Ralph solo didn't outshine BB neither one of them did! that is why when he was solo he was called the KING OF STAGE and he had better solo songs than Ralph. BB voice was just as strong as Ralph when they was younger. But if you ask me Ricky sounds much better than them both when they got older now that's my opinion.
One of the catchiest songs ever to release for 80s history, the flow in this song is a monster and the melody is the butter. It's one of those songs you just hear and you can't get it out of your head. To future generations, never let this masterpiece die. It is the perfect song to play to anyone if you're from the times of 1984 or if you're modern listening to it now. R&B just was a whole different time back in the 80s/90s for music. Lots of the songs that were felt ahead of its time like this one here.
Earlier this year my nephew who was nine yrs old at the time was riding in my car with me. He said "Auntie can you play "Mr Telephone Man?" I said New Edition??? He said "Yes!" 😂😂😂 I said sure neph...my pleasure. That boy is being raised right ✅️ ❤😊

It’s because creativity and spending time on developing strong elements in the music is too “risky” and expensive for the corporate gatekeepers. Once they watered it down for the quick buck, there was no reversing it. F’n shame.
I was 8 years old when this was released out in 84. Still , to this day, i remember riding bikes and hanging out with friends in the neighborhood. With no worries. How time came and went. Miss those days 😪

I have been listening to and watching the video of this song since it debuted in the 80s. 5 years ago, to my surprise, starting at 2:04, the video director, unknown to them, and all involved with the video, predicted the guys' 90s career. Bobby and Ralph solo, then Bell, Biv, Devoe as a trio. I wonder if New Edition ever looked back on this video and saw that part. Anyway still loved this video and every video they put out as New Edition and their solo careers.
I'm a teen and this is unironically one of my favorite songs!!!! I had to look up what a party line is but that doesn't change how much I LOVE this song!!!

'Cause my baby wouldn't hang up on me
Mr. Telephone man
There's something wrong with my line
When I dial my baby's number
I get a click every time
Mr. Telephone man
There's something wrong with my line
When I dial my baby's number
I get a click every time
She let the phone ring 20 times before she answered
Let me tell you what happen then
A minute later - I got the operator
Saying, "Please hang up and place your call again, Baby"
Mr. Telephone man
There's something wrong with my line
When I dial my baby's number
I get a click every time
Mr. Telephone man
Somethin's wrong with my line
When I dial my baby's number
I get a click every time
Some strange man is on the telephone (The telephone)
Keeps telling me my baby ain't home (That she's not home)
She ain't got no party line
This situation's blowin' my mind
Oh! I just can't take this anymore
Please operator
See what you can do
I dialed the right number
But I still couldn't get though
Would you just check the line
Just one more time if you can
I'm pretty sure my phone wouldn't be answered by no man
Mr. Telephone man
There's something wrong with my line
When I dial my baby's number
I get a click everytime
Mr. Telephone man
Somethin's wrong with my line
I try to dial her number
I get a click everytime
Must be a bad connection
I give 'em all my love and affection (Oh sugar)
I just can't take this no more
This situation blowin' my mind
Can't get my baby on the line
I try dialing information (Mr. Telephone man)
I can't get no cooperation (Mr. Telephone man)
System on the phone
Telling me my baby ain't at home
Ahh baby
I just can't take this anymore
Help me out
Please Mr. Telephone man
Help me out
Please Mr. Telephone man

The song that introduced the world to Bobby Brown
This is just beautiful.
I listen to it when I was 14 now 50 wow times passes quick but these beats 😩
@@L_annep6909no way this song is 34 years old
40@@obamafan6949
This song makes me feel so happy and sad at the same time. I've loved this for years and I still do
Who’s here in September 2024??? This is never getting old😂
You could tell even then that Bobby was special with his moves.
Classic New Edition.... Love It!! 😎♥️🎵🎶
I have been listening to and watching the video of this song since it debuted in the 80s. 5 years ago, to my surprise, starting at 2:04, the video director, unknown to them, and all involved with the video, predicted the guys' 90s career. Bobby and Ralph solo, then Bell, Biv, Devoe as a trio. I wonder if New Edition ever looked back on this video and saw that part. Anyway still loved this video and every video they put out as New Edition and their solo careers.
If u still listen to this Ur a legend from here to now.
This still a banger 😤
That instrumental sounds sooo good man. Those synthesizers are absolutely timeless!
The lyrics are hilarious and cool BTW

@@texcity2004 Besides, Ray Parker plays the bass. Bassline It sounds similar "A Woman Needs Love"
@@palmaleter252 I know that
I love synthesizers
I'm a teen and this is unironically one of my favorite songs!!!! I had to look up what a party line is but that doesn't change how much I LOVE this song!!!
samee
Hilarious 😂
