"Had to Phone Ya"
While writing posts about the songs on 15 Big Ones and Love You, I listened to the albums again and found a couple more things to note.
"Had to Phone Ya" doesn't really have an end; it just fades out. The listener is left waiting for a musical resolution in the same way that the narrator is waiting for his call to be accepted ("Come on and answer the phone").
