Song of the Day: "(I Love It When You) Call Me Names"

ARTIST: Joan Armatrading
TITLE: "(I Love It When You) Call Me Names"
YEAR: 1983

Joan Armatrading is a British singer-songwriter who draws influences from rock and blues music. She's one of those singers who seems to have a relatively small but very devoted following. While I can't claim to know many of her songs, her 1983 single "(I Love It When You) Call Me Names" is one I love. It's a rocker with clever lyrics that I've rediscovered, causing a major spin upping from none recently to a lot.

Check it out here. The song is available on such Armatrading compilations as Love and Affection: Classics 1975-1983 and Greatest Hits.
