The Dust Coda - Call Me

Thursday, time for a cover.

"Call Me" is a song by the American new wave band BLONDIE and the theme to the 1980 film "American Gigolo". Produced and composed by Italian musician Giorgio Moroder, with lyrics by BLONDIE singer Debbie Harry, the song appeared in the film and was released in the United States in early 1980 as a single. "Call Me" was No. 1 for six consecutive weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, where it became the band's biggest single and second No. 1.

Debbie Harry said the lyrics were inspired by her visual impressions from watching the film 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 saying "call me" in two European languages: Italian: Amore, chiamami, lit. 'Love, call me' and French: Appelle-moi, mon chéri, lit. 'Call me, my darling'.

Today's version is made by the London-based band THE DUST CODA, enticingly riffs, gravel-soaked vocal soul, and richly rugged groove transform the classic tune into a real smoker!

The band's cover is taken from their latest album "Mojo Skyline". Enjoy!
