It's the anniversary of the first telephone call. On this date in 1876 Alexander Graham Bell spoke through his new invention to his assistant saying, "Mr. Watson, come here. I want to see you." Since then phones and calls have popped up in countless songs. Share your favorites and we'll spin a set after 9am.

Here's what we played:

Electric Light Orchestra "Telephone Line"

Al Green "Call Me (Come Back Home)"

Boy "Little Numbers"

Chuck Berry "Memphis, Tennessee"

Tommy Tutone "867-5309/Jenny"
