Last night I was listening to Will Kimbrough live, probably playing Piece of Work at about the time Jimmy was playing Everybody's on the Phone (co-written by Will Kimbrough).

Thanks to conched starting this off and I added as much as I could. Kind of a funny song. I'm liking it.

Everybody’s on the Phone

Message in a bottle
Rhythm of a drum
Smoke signals and telegraphs
Make the airways hum

But that’s all ancient history
Like bongs and lincoln logs
Now we’re living like the Jetson’s
In a wireless wacky fog

Sqwakin Talkin Hawkin
Who knows if anybody’s gettin’ through?
Toasters talk to crackberries, Bombay to LA
Teenage needs and long-held dreams as minutes tick away

We act like crazy people
Talking to ourselves
Crashing cars in conversation
While that sh*t flies off the shelf
The information superhighway's locked up like an LA traffic jam

--------

Chorus:
Everybody's on the phone
So connected and all alone
From the pizza boy to socialite
We all salute the satellite

Let me text you with your master plan
You're loud and clear but I don't understand
I'm a digital explorer in analog roam
And everybody's on the phone

--------

Do you remember dialing up?
Yes I remember well
Now I just can't go anywhere without my sacred cell

I think that I might die if I miss anything at all
Text me, send an email, bring me up, give me a call
I'm ADD on AOL, trying to read the writing on the wall

--------

Chorus (2):
Everybody's on the phone
So connected and all alone
From the pizza boy to socialite
We all salute the satellite

Won't you text me with your master plan
You're loud and clear but I don't understand
I'm a digital explorer in analog roam
And everybody's on the phone

--------

Now I'm a real jungle jumpup
I'm a megahertz man
I swing from tree to tree on the very latest plan

On the download and the dropouts
On every major city across the land
I got my Marley on my ringtone, getup, standup, reachout, touch somebody band!

Chorus (2)
I'm a digital explorer in analog roam
And everybody's on the phone

.......

Spoken:

Hey can you hear me?
Can you hear me now?
I gotta git over by the beerstand!
Oh sh*t my batteries are going!
I'll call you back!

.......

Spoken after the end of the song:

Anybody gettin' through?
Thank you!
It has a certain ringtone to it!
Did I say that?
Oh sh*t ok!

Hmmm....nothing about having his phone stolen....

I saw Jimmy last night at MSG. I had called Baby the song before this one to let her hear Jimmy play. Then when this one came on I called my voice mail so I could hear it at home lol

I liked it. We'll see if it has staying power.

For anyone who's listened to EOTP, I am reminded of Love Shack, when I hear the opening drum beat. Anyone else?
