Blondie's "Call Me"
The importance of Blondie’s “Call Me” can’t be quantified in sales alone. Sure, it was a global hit.

It is one of the signature compositions of the man they call the “godfather of disco”, Giorgio Moroder. And let’s not forget the vocal and lyrical contributions of the legendary singer, Debbie Harry.

Customer Reviews
Hanging out with (music geek) friends!
This podcast is a joy. Painstakingly researched, yet casual and playful. They tackle hard problems in music (race, gender, lawsuits, breakups) and yet laugh and savor how music makes us feel. I learn remarkable things about songs that I’ve heard a thousand times AND learn about deeper cuts and tracks that I missed. It’s incredible that we get to share their friendship.
Ultimate song guide experience
Impressive next level music podcast you need to listen to. Absolutely love this podcast that explores every conceivable aspect of a song in a fun way. If you are interested in listening how songs were created and the origins/influences of where they come from these two do the best deep dives you will find. They have great rapport with one another and given you high level insight that is not pretentious it’s down to earth and makes you feel like you are in the room with two friends, communicating their enjoyment and interest. I listened to the Tears For Fears and Blondie episodes and although I thought I knew a good amount about the music this podcast blew me away.
Love this!
I don’t know the first thing about music theory. This is so different from the podcasts I usually listen to but I loved this. The Radiohead episode is great.
