@Alysia Williams Yeah, Ray Parker jr was a bit of an underrated artist back in the 70's and 80's. He was an in-demand session guitarist who played on a lot of records and wrote a number of hits (for himself and others). He also recorded an early demo version of the song which eventually became "You Make Me Feel Like Dancing". It was stolen from him, he wasn't given the songwriting credit and it became a massive no.1 hit for Leo Sayer.
And like any Ray Parker Jr written song it has a "stalkerish" vibe to it. Just listen to this and "You Can't Change That" by Raydio and you'll see what I mean.
@@rommix0 It’s something about the words that really is hard to let go..It’s almost impossible not to sing the lyrics repeatedly especially the chorus when Michael Bevins is rap/talking..who can resist harmonizing while he is speaking to the operator.
Plus both songs are written by the same person..the musical genius of taking the simplicity of theme and. Nursery rhymes but turning them into major hits. Mr Ray Parker Jr.
I want to go to the '80s to go meet Michael Jackson and every other singer cuz I was born in April 26th 2008 I never was born in the 80 I wish I was I like the music
The 80s was a whole vibe. Down to the mall hair and acid washed jeans. In 1984 Prince not only ruled the air waves but also the hottest summer movie of the same name as the soundtrack. "Purple Rain". It was friggen electric.
I was 3 going on 4 but I always remember this song and one of my earliest memories is looking at this album cover (my parents had it). Im 40 years old now.
I was 13 when this song came out. Now that I'm 50 in 2022, I'm still jamming to it as if it was 1985. Man, I wish I was a kid again growing up to this music.
The blend of the smooth techno and bass guitar makes this song a beautiful piece of musical art it sounds so retro but not in a bad way it's the type of song that makes you want to turn off all the lights and put on some headphones and gets you thinking about that one girl you had a crush on back in 6,7th grade. There has never been a song that I've heard that puts off this vibe
Listen to Ray Parker Jr 'A Woman Needs Love (Just Like You Do). Same melody same vibe. Ray Parker Jr wrote both songs.ruclips.net/video/QvBmtqyaijI/видео.html
I only found out about this song a few days ago because someone kept blasting it in the showers of my dorm. Now I can't stop listening to it, it's so upbeat yet the lyrics have a sadness to them that gives the song this balanced melancholic feeling that I love. Honestly, in my opinion it hits pretty similar to some Japanese city pop songs from the time.
Lyrics ~ Mr. Telephone man There's something wrong with my line When I dial my baby's number I get a click every time Mr. Telephone man There's something wrong with my line When I dial my baby's number I get a click every time When I dial 611 to get a service She said, "Hello, may I help you please?"

I remember singing this song with my cousins as a child. New Edition was like the 80's version of The Jackson 5. All the girls loved Ralph and Bobby. The energy of the music was so great back then. Oh, I miss them days. Looking at these iconic videos bring back alot of good times growing up.
I was 8 years old when this was released out in 84. Still , to this day, i remember riding bikes and hanging out with friends in the neighborhood. With no worries. How time came and went. Miss those days 😪
Earlier this year my nephew who was nine yrs old at the time was riding in my car with me. He said "Auntie can you play "Mr Telephone Man?" I said New Edition??? He said "Yes!" 😂😂😂 I said sure neph...my pleasure. That boy is being raised right ✅️ ❤😊

One of the catchiest songs ever to release for 80s history, the flow in this song is a monster and the melody is the butter.

@@CodyCole80 New Edition has never been blocked from viewing to my knowledge, unless the record label did so. Jay-Z and Beyoncé’s videos are “unavailable “ sometimes. Other band too. 🤔
Esta música faz um bem enorme para minha alma. Toda vez que a escuto, meu coração dispara. Numa mistura de adrenalina com felicidade extrema. Ótima música!
Im so glad I never dated or knew Bobby back then, it wud of killed me to lose him. I loved him so much in them days... In my mind he was mine, the posters that was on my wall was enough.
FOR THE RECORD, this video would probably have over 100m views by now but it was removed from RUclips for the last number of years and only just came back some time last year and is already climbing up at 20m. Won’t be long before it it continues to increase since this is one of NE’s biggest classics.
Can't forget cool it now and a lil bit of love and count me out and girl im leaving you again cant forget lets stayel friends lets also not forgot its cristmas
OnkZee N. Nah but we gon chill with that, first thing first me taping that comment is not me saying i didn't know them before,is me saying that me knowing they history from now on and what they been through as a group make me want to listen to them more so cut it out 😂✋
this gives me vivid memories when the new edition story came out, the boys in my 2nd grade class would get together and sing this song yes....im young but it was so fun and im getting such waves of nostalgia rn. And when my granny taught me the lyrics

That's why I love music. It really conveys the Zeitgeist of the decade/century and is the closest thing to time travel a person could ask for.
I was born 86, and I remember coca cola being so cheap. Life wasn't necessarily easier, but it was simpler. Music was great and made sense.

Lyrics ~
Mr. Telephone man
There's something wrong with my line
When I dial my baby's number
I get a click every time
Mr. Telephone man
There's something wrong with my line
When I dial my baby's number
I get a click every time
When I dial 611 to get a service
She said, "Hello, may I help you please?"
I told her, Something must be wrong with my phone
'Cause my baby wouldn't hang up on me
Mr. Telephone man
There's something wrong with my line
When I dial my baby's number
I get a click every time
Mr. Telephone man
There's something wrong with my line
When I dial my baby's number
I get a click every time
She let the phone ring 20 times before she answered
Let me tell you what happen then
A minute later - I got the operator
Saying, "Please hang up and place your call again, Baby"
Mr. Telephone man
There's something wrong with my line
When I dial my baby's number
I get a click every time
Mr. Telephone man
Somethin's wrong with my line
When I dial my baby's number
I get a click every time
Some strange man is on the telephone (The telephone)
Keeps telling me my baby ain't home (That she's not home)
She ain't got no party line
This situation's blowin' my mind
Oh! I just can't take this anymore
Please operator
See what you can do
I dialed the right number
But I still couldn't get though
Would you just check the line
Just one more time if you can
I'm pretty sure my phone wouldn't be answered by no man
Mr. Telephone man
There's something wrong with my line
When I dial my baby's number
I get a click everytime
Mr. Telephone man
Somethin's wrong with my line
I try to dial her number
I get a click everytime
Must be a bad connection
I give 'em all my love and affection (Oh sugar)
I just can't take this no more
This situation blowin' my mind
Can't get my baby on the line
I try dialing information (Mr. Telephone man)
I can't get no cooperation (Mr. Telephone man)
System on the phone
Telling me my baby ain't at home
Ahh baby
I just can't take this anymore
Help me out
Please Mr. Telephone man
Help me out
Please Mr. Telephone man

I'm glad that I was a 80's teenager because songs from New Edition resonated with our age group.

Ricky Bell, Bobby Brown, Michael Bivins, Ronnie DeVoe, Ralph Tresvant. The original New Edition
Wenceslaus Murape the original boy band.
There was no johnny gill?
Alvaro Bendezu gill joined after but I think it’s still complete with him too. His voice was extraordinary
@@alvarobendezu8452 he was a Bobby brown replacement
Bobbys friend that got killed
There is just something special and nostalgic about this. It's wholesome and fun and is just feel good music.
For years this was “blocked in my country” but finally this video is available in the U.S. again! I don’t understand why it was blocked here when the video was shot here 🤷♂️
Really? I saw them in concert while in middle school. 7th Grade. It was GREAT!
@@christywagner2000 so they weren’t blocked when you were in 7th grade, that’s cool
@@learntoday450 the internet did not exist then!! lol 😂
Same. This says it was posted 12 years ago, but I never could see it.
@@CodyCole80 New Edition has never been blocked from viewing to my knowledge, unless the record label did so. Jay-Z and Beyoncé’s videos are “unavailable “ sometimes. Other band too. 🤔
Timeless song. Ralph has always been my favorite ❤❤
These guys are not a boy band,they are out of this world!!!
1 Corinthians 10:31 we as
31 So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.🙏🏽
Amen ❤🙏🏽
Amen 🙏✝️
Amen
Their best song, irresistibly catchy!
Proverbs 19:17
“He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the LORD; and that which he hath given will he pay him again.”
King James Version (KJV)
Still my favorite group of all time. Bubble gum pop or not, I still listen to this stuff.
RnB for kids. Not pop. Never was pop
Right, it's definitely R&B and not pop
@@baccgod942Sounds very similar to City Pop like Plastic Love and Loretta by Ginger Root.
I just love the vibe of this song.
This song makes me feel so happy and sad at the same time. I've loved this for years and I still do
this song was released 40 years ago in December... it's a bittersweet masterpiece
quite possibly, the Greatest Group of all time ........
This was one of my favorite songs when I was 11 and it's still awesome now that I'm 33....
Now you’re 44..:) next comment should be when you’re 55 ;)
@@Harcorwrestler this is so cool

I love this song my grandma used to play this song when we go on road trips and she still plays it 🖤🖤
what do u mean she used to play this song if she still plays this song
They mean she played it then, and she plays it now.
Who’s here in September 2024??? This is never getting old😂
This is what kids now a days need to be listening to, I mean at least have this song in your playlist because it’s just soooo good!
i love it as a 2000s kid
I am 28 about to be 29 and I love the old music
i love it as a late 2000s kid
Born in 1996 and I bump this every day On my way to work

Esta música faz um bem enorme para minha alma. Toda vez que a escuto, meu coração dispara. Numa mistura de adrenalina com felicidade extrema. Ótima música!
Telephone to Glory, Oh what joy Devine🎶🙏.. Made by God the Father, for His very own🎶. You may talk to Jesus on this Royal Telephone🎶❤️🙏📖✝️.
bro what?
@@angham3829 what..
Desse jeito, me traz umas lembranças.
Do you even understand the lyrics..... 💀
Im so glad I never dated or knew Bobby back then, it wud of killed me to lose him.
I loved him so much in them days... In my mind he was mine, the posters that was on my wall was enough.
They were adorable.
This song is timeless and never gets old.
Those synthesizers are dreamy & euphoric.
FOR THE RECORD, this video would probably have over 100m views by now but it was removed from RUclips for the last number of years and only just came back some time last year and is already climbing up at 20m. Won’t be long before it it continues to increase since this is one of NE’s biggest classics.
Still in 2023 and putting this song on repeat to sing for a talent show.
Classic New Edition.... Love It!! 😎♥️🎵🎶
the boy who played bobbi looked likke him so much
Miguel & Mace they mean in the new edition movie
Bobby as a kid had that gangly look and the kid had the same look. It slayed me.
The boy who you think looks like Bobby,It was himself and not someone else.
PETER MARO no it wasn't wth
PETER MARO they were talking about the movie
They were so young. Glad I got to witness and grow up wit them.
Something majestic about this one. The performances, choreography, concept & execution are flawless.
FIRST TIME HEARING THIS SONG MAN, FEELS LIKE I JUST FOUND A PLACE WHERE ALL MY GOOD MEMORIES EXIST.
Crazy that I just remembered this song out of no where a month ago and now I hear it everywhere. Timeless!
Ray Parker Jr. did his thang writing this jam!
You can so tell it’s Ray Parker!!!

2022. Yet this is still a hit. Right next to candy girl.

How many people realise this was written and produced by Ray Parker Jr or that this version is a cover of the Junior Tucker version?
@@maccagrabme didn't he write ghostbusters?
It’s a hit cuz of TikTok it’s good for sum stuff but it makes most shit cringe
Yup still is
when you saw the movie and became addicted
S_ dayuh chiiiiild
OnkZee N. Nah but we gon chill with that, first thing first me taping that comment is not me saying i didn't know them before,is me saying that me knowing they history from now on and what they been through as a group make me want to listen to them more so cut it out 😂✋
Literally me too 😂 relax
OnkZee N. Why you saying "child" then ? 😂,I think their is a misunderstanding right here 💀
I said child as in "Child! I know that's right!"
this gives me vivid memories when the new edition story came out, the boys in my 2nd grade class would get together and sing this song yes....im young but it was so fun and im getting such waves of nostalgia rn. And when my granny taught me the lyrics
who in 2024 and still listening to this banger???
Me
