About Call My Name

"Call My Name" is a song by the synthpop group Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark. It was released as the fourth (and last) single from the album Sugar Tax but remixed for this release. The single made the Top 100 on the UK Singles Chart at #50. The B-side to the 7" single, "Walk Tall" is featured as the tenth track on Sugar Tax. An extended remix version was also released on the CD and 12" issues, featuring an uncredited female voice speaking over a telephone and the sounds of a rotary telephone dial. In a retrospective article, AllMusic critic Dave Thompson wrote of the song's "musical splendor", calling it a "dance-fired extravaganza with a melody that's as memorable as the beats are incendiary." more »

You see the new sensation,
I heard it call your name.
You're running 'round in circles,
You're making right again.

(You) said I'd take my car. (** Anyone want to explain that one?? **)
So it always ends the same,
And there's no one else to blame...
But I'd die
If you would call my name.
Caught between two evils,
I should've stayed at home.
To wish upon, and hold the phone,
When in love you want... (** Eh? **)

Oh yes, I'd die,
If you would call my name.
