Pink Floyd’s “Nobody Home”:

You have reached 587-8783. Please leave a message. (“Ohhhhhhhhh, babe… When I pick up the phone… There’s still… Nobody home.”)

(Guns & Roses’ “Civil War”:) What we’ve got here is… Failure to communicate.
Some men you just can’t reach… I don’t like it any more than you do.

Meat Loaf’s “I’d Do Anything For Love”:

And I would do anything for calls,

I promise I will call you back;

I would do anything for calls,

But I can’t talk right now and that’s a fact.

I’m not home right now, so I just can’t answer the phone,

No way,

But I would do anything for calls,

Oh, I would do anything for calls!

Just let me know who it was who called,

And I’ll call you back!

Yes, I’ll call you back!

Just leave a message at the tone,

I’ll hear it when I get back home,

And I will call — you — back!

Cheers TV show theme song, “Where Everybody Knows your Name”:

Sometimes you make a call,

Where you gotta leave your name,

‘Cuz I can’t come to the phone,

You gotta leave a message here,

right after the tone.

You made a call,

Where you gotta leave your name.

U2′s “With or Without You”:

No one’s here to answer the phone,

Leave a message at the tone,

And we’ll get back to you.

We’ll get back to you!
