Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You called, I can't hear a thing
I have got no service
In the club, you see, see
Wha-wha-what did you say?
Oh, you're breaking up on me
Sorry, I cannot hear you
I'm kinda busy
K-kinda busy
K-kinda busy
Sorry, I cannot hear you
I'm kinda busy
Just a second
It's my favorite song they're gonna play
And I cannot text you with
A drink in my hand, eh
You shoulda made some plans with me
You knew that I was free
And now you won't stop calling me
I'm kinda busy
Stop callin', stop callin'
I don't wanna think any more
I left my head and heart on the dance floor
Stop callin', stop callin'
I don't wanna talk anymore
I got my head and my heart on the dance floor
Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh
Stop telephonin' me
Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh
I'm busy, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh
Stop telephonin' me
Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh
Call all you want, but there's no one home
And you're not gonna reach my telephone
Out in the club, and I'm sippin' that bub
And you're not gonna reach my telephone
Call all you want, but there's no one home
And you're not gonna reach my telephone
Out in the club, and I'm sippin' that bub
And you're not gonna reach my telephone
Boy, the way you blowin' up my phone
Won't make me leave no faster
Put my coat on faster
Leave my girls no faster
I shoulda left my phone at home
'Cause this is a disaster
Callin' like a collector
Sorry, I cannot answer
Not that I don't like you
I'm just at a party
And I am sick and tired
Of my phone ringin'
Sometimes I feel like
I live in Grand Central Station
Tonight I'm not takin' no calls
'Cause I'll be dancin'
'Cause I'll be dancin'
'Cause I'll be dancin'
Tonight I'm not takin' no calls
'Cause I'll be dancin'
Stop callin', stop callin'
I don't wanna think any more
I left my head and my heart on the dance floor
Stop callin', stop callin'
I don't wanna talk any more
I left my head and my heart on the dance floor
Stop callin', stop callin'
I don't wanna think any more
I left my head and my heart on the dance floor
Stop callin', stop callin'
I don't wanna talk any more
I left my head and my heart on the dance floor
Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh
Stop telephonin' me
Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh

The lyrics to Glee Cast feat. Lady Gaga & Beyonce's song Telephone is all about someone who is out partying, and their ex keeps calling them. However, the person can't answer the call because they are in the club with loud music, drinking alcohol and dancing. They are busy having fun and enjoying themselves without any disturbances, and they don't want to be bothered by their ex. The main message of the song is that sometimes, people just want to let loose and forget their troubles, and that their phone calls can wait until later.
The lyrics are very relatable to anyone who has ever been out partying and received a call from an ex or someone they don't want to talk to. It also highlights the importance of being present and enjoying the moment, instead of constantly being on the phone. The catchy chorus repeats the phrase "Stop telephonin' me" and emphasizes that the person is busy and isn't interested in talking.
Overall, the lyrics to Telephone are catchy, lively and entertaining. They showcase Lady Gaga and Beyonce's singing talent and upbeat energy while exploring the theme of being present and enjoying life without any distractions.

Rachel: Oh hello! I couldn't help but notice you admiring me yesterday in the courtyard.
Sunshine: Um, what?
Rachel: Oh you don't speak English. YOU-LIKE-ME-SING! YOU-LIKE-ME-SING-VERY-MUCH!
Sunshine: Um, I totally speak English.
Rachel: I even did a little research on you. You are a foreign exchange student named Sunshine Corazon because you are from the Philippines where it's sunny every day!
Sunshine: Except for the monsoons.
Rachel: Listen Sunshine, we need chorus members; people to stand behind me and stare at me with wet, moved eyes while I sing solos. (loudly) So I encourage you to audition for Glee Club! Glee club is FUN! SWAYING in the background can be fun!
Sunshine: Thank you.
Rachel: Okay.

I swear sunshine and Rachel’s voices blend perfectly
Twilight Protige
yeah rachel couldnt see past her ego and ruined their best chance at winning. hell if sunshine had been part of the new directions they wouldve definitely placed at nationals if not outright won.
nice little "i created my own enemy" arc there but still a tragic loss

I kinda wish they had more duets together... Their voices blend so well together.
Jordan Elza
Agreed. These two could have done many more great songs together.
Hades mikealson
There should have been a lot more of duets ong
Jordan Elza
I love this version of this song better than the original. Rachel and Sunshine sound amazing together. It’s too bad Rachel’s ego ruined their chance at being great friends and singing more great songs together. 0:28 and 0:47
