Shawna Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 You remember those boxes that used to dot the roads where you could go in and make a phone call? It's the thing Superman changed clothes in. It's the thing Maxwell Smart went into and then dropped below ground to Headquarters. Anyone know any songs that mention those? Or are maybe about them? A friend is putting together an article... Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Levis Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 "Standing Outside a Broken Phone Booth With Money In My Pocket" - Primitive Radio Gods I dropped by to suggest this very song and, as one of its most frequent listeners, clarify that at no point during the song is a phone and/or booth mentioned.
