Trivia/Info
- This track is a cover of the 1978 song by Wazmo Nariz. It was recorded as part of a project called 80 from the 80s by musician Michael Hearst, who asked 80 friends to each sing a cover of a 1980s song of their choice.
- According to Michael Hearst, when Linnell was asked which song he would like to cover from the '80s, he replied:[1]
I’m thinking about this Wazmo Nariz song "Tele Tele Telephone." This was the song that launched new wave music into my consciousness. Everybody had their own experience but I still think of this as the iconic, platonic form of new wave. The song is from the late seventies, does that count?
- Hearst thanked Nariz himself for helping with this cover by clarifying lyrics that he and Linnell were unable to decipher themselves.
