Hanging on the telephone - Blondie

'Hanging on the telephone' was written by Jack Lee. It was first performed by Lee's short-lived US West Coast power pop trio The Nerves, who released it as the title track of their 1976 ep, the band's only release.

Blondie recorded a cover version of the track on their 1979 album 'Parallel lines'. When released as a single, it reached number 5 in the UK singles chart and number 21 in the Dutch Top 40.
