This way: Standing Outside a Broken Phone Booth
“Standing Outside a Broken Phone Booth with Money in My Hand”, Primitive Radio Gods. Here is a great one from the Primitive Radio Gods, basically a one hit wonder from 1996. I love a song with a good vocal sample. While housecleaning in 1994, Chris O’Connor rediscovered the box of demo tapes he had packed away years prior. In a final act of desperation, he mailed copies of the tape to any major record label he could think of. Weeks later, he received a call from an executive named Jonathan Daniel from the New York City offices of Fiction Records. One unique song in particular had caught Daniel's attention: “Standing Outside a Broken Phone Booth with Money in My Hand”, a piano-driven ballad over a hip-hop backbeat, which heavily sampled B. B. King's "How Blue Can You Get?". Daniel immediately signed O’Connor to a publishing deal, and took him to Columbia Records for a recording deal. "Phone Booth" first appeared on the soundtrack to the black comedy film The Cable Guy in May 1996, and a slightly remastered Rocket was released the following month. "Phone Booth" was released to radio as the Primitive Radio Gods’ first single, and was remarkably successful in the U.S. market. Due to the single’s success, Rocket was certified gold.
