The Conjuring: The Devil Made me do it and Bride of Chucky brought me here. Excellent use of this amazing song in those amazing horror movies.

“Call Me” (1980) was written for the American neo-noir crime drama movie “American Gigolo” (1980), where it plays in a scene where the lead character - an escort - is “working.”

Producer Giorgio Moroder and Blondie’s lead vocalist, Debbie Harry, co-authored what would soon be a smash hit. And that made Miss Harry the first woman ever to create three #1 songs in British chart history‼️

“Call Me” was the band’s most successful single in the US, better yet, the best-selling lay of the year❕

In addition to “American Gigolo”, “Call Me” was used in “Partners” (1982), “Bride of Chucky” (1998), “Zoolander”(2001), “For The Love of Money” (2012), “Pitch Perfect” (2017)…

Obviously, “Call Me” is a popular title in music. To this day, there are ten homonymous pieces :

Johnny Mathis (1958)
Chris Montez (1966)
Aretha Franklin (1970)
Skyy (1982)
Go West (1985)
Dennis DeYoung (1986)
Le Click (1997)
Too Short & Lil’ Kim (1997)
Tweet (2002)…

Deborah Ann Harry, born Angela Timble, has claimed that MARILYN MONROE was an influence on her style. However, her main intention was to invoke being blonde by itself, since it is associated with glamour, success and desire.

Let’s agree… The PRETTY SMART BLOND ICON*, who was commonly catcalled after bleaching her hair, has rightfully earned the utmost R-E-S-P-E-C-T 🌎 worldwide❕ 💙📞💚

* Debbie Harry’s musical body of work, her unique trademark appearance, her efforts in movies, and the fact that she has been captured by artists such as ANDY WARHOL have made her an icon in every sense of the word.

Powerful voice without trying anything hard, a legendary singer.

[DamienZshadow]

Just heard this song for the first time in. Jersey Mike's sub while eating with my family and I just had to find it! What a great build up!

[leobacelli]

I remember hearing this song once when I was younger, it’s on the soundtrack of one of Rob Schneider’s movies from the 90s

[AllRequired]

It was richly deserving of its year-end #1 honor.

[Idk-bixt]

The only thing i thought while listening to this was just “ Barbie…. Eat your heart out “

[jameshuman]

Blondie was the dog of a certain german mustache enthusiast in the 30s-40s

[traydaniel]

I think this song would be perfect for Black Phone 📞 2 sequel if it takes place in the early 80s. I also think Paramore should write and perform an original song that sounded like the early 80s for that movie

[carwashslayer]

Albertsons plays this so I hear it often when shopping

[Cooldad]

This song makes me want to put the top down and

[tristanvillalontriss]

I wish there'll be a new movement in music that could bring back the rock n roll era, like apart from today's top hits. A new top of today's rock n roll. And a diverse, like not just for white but for all races, and that will make rock happier, believe me

[alanericksen]

Wish my wife would sing this to me again!😢 But we don't drink. Maybe we need to? Nah. Nobody needs to! Save the livers! BTW, God invented the best stuff!

[squishybear]

One of the best evah!!!! The base is solid!
