Ed Pellow Lyr Req: Hello This Is Joannie + Car 67 (10) Car 69 - Non folk lyric request 06 Jul 00


Not quite sure what brought this to mind, but anyway...

I'm looking for the lyrics to a song that was a 'hit' in the UK in the late 70's / early 80's. I think it was called 'Car 69' but that may have been the artist.

The chorus was an answerphone message:

"Hello, this is Joanie, I'm sorry but I'm not home
But if you leave me your name and number, I promise soon as I get in I'll phone"

The song was about a lover's tiff that ended in tragedy, because 'Joanie' drove home, crashed and died, due to the fact that she'd drunk too much.

Must ring a bell with someone...

Thanks,

Ed
