Call Me (Blondie song)
"Call Me" is a song by the American rock band Blondie. Released in the US early 1980 as a single, "Call Me" was number one for six consecutive weeks on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 chart, where it became the band's biggest single and second #1.〔 It also hit #1 in the UK and Canada, where it became their fourth and second chart-topper respectively. In the year-end charts of 1980 it was Billboard's #1 hit, and according to Billboard magazine, was the top-selling single of the year in the United States in 1980 and RPM's #3.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Top Singles - Volume 33, No. 6, May 03 1980 )〕
==Song and single information==
"Call Me" was the main theme song of the 1980 film ''American Gigolo''. European disco producer Giorgio Moroder originally asked Stevie Nicks from Fleetwood Mac to help compose and perform a song for the soundtrack, but she declined as a recently signed contract with Modern Records prevented her from working with Moroder. It was at this time that Moroder turned to Debbie Harry and Blondie. Moroder presented Harry with a rough instrumental track called "Man Machine". Harry was asked to write the lyrics and melody, a process that Harry states took only a few hours.〔100 Greatest Songs of the 80s, Episode 2, VH1〕 Harry stated that the song is about driving, and that "When I was writing it, I pictured the opening scene, driving on the coast of California." The completed song was then recorded by the band, with Moroder producing. The bridge of the original English-language version also includes Harry singing "Call me, my darling" in Italian ("Amore, chiamami") (Love, call) and in French ("Appelle-moi, mon chéri") (Call me, darling).
In the US, the song was released by three different record companies: the longest version (at 8:06) on the soundtrack album by Polydor, the 7" and 12" on Blondie's label Chrysalis, and a Spanish language 12" version, with lyrics by Buddy and Mary McCluskey, on the disco label Salsoul Records. The Spanish version, titled "Llámame", was meant for release in Mexico and some South American countries. This version was also released in the US and the UK and had its CD debut on Chrysalis/EMI's rarities compilation ''Blonde and Beyond'' (1993). In 1988, a remixed version by Ben Liebrand taken from the Blondie remix album ''Once More into the Bleach'' was issued as a single in the UK. In 2001 the "original long version" appeared as a bonus track on the ''Autoamerican'' album re-issue.
Harry recorded an abbreviated version of the song, backed by the Muppet Band, for her guest appearance on the Muppet Show in August 1980. It was first broadcast in January 1981.
