Touch-Tone Telephone is the second track on Spirit Phone.

The main melody and chorus of this song is lifted from Ivanushka, a then-unreleased 2009 demo track with entirely unrelated lyrics.

Neil explained this song's lyrics in the album's audio commentary track:

"So… this song is about a dedicated caller into a radio show who has it all. figured. out. and he just needs to explain it to someone, and even just knowing how he’s gonna sound to other people is giving him all this anxiety and it’s coming out before he can even say what he wants so say. In fact, it never comes out. So, this song is just a big rant of preemptive defensiveness and saying you’re gonna do something without ever doing it."

It is highly notable for being the most popular Lemon Demon song on both Spotify and YouTube, having garnered 61,000,000+ streams and 20,000,000+ views respectively.
