"'''Telephone Rock'''" is a ''[[Sesame Street]]'' song performed by [[Little Jerry and the Monotones]]. In this song, [[Little Jerry]] gets into a telephone booth, where he starts singing to the operator (performed by [[Richard Hunt]]), and eventually the Monotones pop up and join him. They duck down before the operator asks who it is that's calling her. They do this again a few times, harassing the operator until she shows up and has a cop arrest them (by shutting the telephone booth door and carrying it away). |
