Conosco una de esa epoca, movida como dices, y habla de "let it ring a long long ...", es de REM, me recuerdo bien porque yo era fanatico del rey león y el princípio, incluso unas vocalizaciones,son bien parecidas con la cancion "the lions sleeps tonight", se llama The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonight(titulo parecido también)

ahi tiene la letra, si es esa la que buscavas : cuentanos

This here is the place where I will be stayin'
There isn't a number you can call on the payphone, let it ring a long,long,
long, long time
If I don't pick up, hang up, call back let it ring some more
If I don't pick up, pick up, the sidewinder sleep, sleep, sleeps in a coil

Chorus 1 (*I won't even try to pretend that I know what he's
There's scratches all around the coinslot, like a heartbeat baby, tryin' to
wake up
But this machine can only swallow money, you can't lay a patch by computer
design

With just alot of stupid, stupid signs

Tell her she can kiss my ass and say that you were
Only kidding, that way she'll know that it's really, really, really,
really me

Baby eat some soup, does it really grab me today I need something more
sub-stub-sub-substantial
A can of beans, some black eyed peas, some Nescafe and ice
A candy bar, a fall(*en/in'*) star, or a reading from Doctor Seuss

The cat in the hat came back, and wrecked alot of havoc
On the way, always had a smile and a reason to pretend
That their world, was flat back brown, too little, need to sleep but to dream
The sidewinder sleeps on his back

We got a boogy-woogy groove on this one

Call me when you try to wake her up, call me when you try to wake her
Call me when you try to wake her up, call me when you try to wake her
Call me when you try to wake her up, call me when you try to wake her
