Curiosity Killed the Cat - Name and Number (Official Music Video) 1989

"Name and Number" is a 1989 single by the British group Curiosity Killed the Cat. This song became popular in the UK, peaking at #14 on the UK Singles Chart.

"Name and Number" was widely sampled in the chorus of "Ring Ring Ring (Ha Ha Hey)", a 1991 hit song by American hip hop group De La Soul. Little Mix's 2013 single "How Ya Doin?" is heavily based on it, with almost exactly the same chorus and only changing the verses.

It was recorded at Ridge Farm Studios just after Christmas 1988 and mixed at Rak Studios in January 1989. Along with the four band members, the session was augmented by Paul "Wix" Wickens - keyboards from Paul McCartney's band and Molly Duncan (ex-Average White Band) on saxophone. The song was produced and mixed by Glenn Skinner with engineering by Glenn Skinner, Ren Swan and Neil Brockbank.

Lyrics

Hello?
Hello?

Hey, how you're doin'?
I'm sorry you couldn't get through
'Cause this is a message that's been recorded
Especially for you

And if you leave a name and your number
We'll get right back to you
You can leave a message now if you want to
When the bleeps are through

I sure wish you'd hurry home
I think I'm lost and I wanna be found
Feels like I'm wondering round nowhere land

All I'm after is to see your sunshine smile and laughter
I feel like calling you, feel like some contact
I feel like phonin', but I can't get through

Hey, how you're doin'?
I'm sorry you couldn't get through
'Cause this is a message that's been recorded
Especially for you

And if you leave a name and a number
We'll get back right to you
You can leave a message now if you want to
When the bleeps are through

(Isn't that as well so wrong, wrong, wrong )

I'm trapped in a timelock zone
Gonna have to face this on my own
Still gonna wonder round that nowhere land

And all I'm holding is one solid silver colour coin that is
Silver in appearance, yeah
But it's peanuts in value, I say
Silver in appearance 'cause I still can't get through

Hey, how you're doin'?
So sorry you couldn't get through
'Cause this is a message that's been recorded
Especially for you

God knows you
So I decide maybe my timin' ain't so good
And you're playing music loud ( like you should )
Now how am I gonna clear a line to hear a human say
I wannna play
No, gonna play now
I'm gonna play
I'm gonna take this time to find out till you get back
I'm gonna say, what's it gonna take
Unless I'm in a stones throwin' range, ain't nothin gonna change. (Am I wasting my time and money?)

Hey, how you're doin'?
I'm sorry you couldn't get through
'Cause this is a message that's been recorded
Especially for you

And if you leave a name and your number
We'll get right back to you
You can leave a message if you want to
When the bleeps are through

I'm gonna play
I wanna take this chance
I'm gonna find romance
I'm gonna play
Get right back to you
Until then I'm gonna play away away
Name and number
Take this chance
I'm gonna run and dance
I'm gonna play
Leave your name..
