    “Call Me” is a classic new wave song by Blondie, released in 1980 as the theme for the Richard Gere film American Gigolo. The song is widely considered one of the band’s greatest hits and has become an enduring anthem of the era.

    Musically, “Call Me” is a masterful blend of punk, rock, and disco, featuring a propulsive beat, infectious guitar riffs, and Deborah Harry’s iconic vocals. The song’s driving energy and catchy melody make it an irresistible dancefloor filler and an enduring classic of the era.

    Lyrically, “Call Me” is a bold and confident declaration of desire, with Harry singing about being available for her lover’s call whenever they need her. The song’s sexually charged lyrics were controversial at the time of its release, but they have since become a beloved part of its legacy.

    Overall, “Call Me” is a must-listen for fans of new wave, punk, and classic rock, and it remains an iconic representation of its era.
