Song written by Boy George, Luke Begley and Roland Faber. Recorded by Boy George and Kim Wilde for Boy George’s 2021 album ‘Cool Karaoke Volume 1’.
Boy George initially premiered the album in January 2021 on his Instagram and YouTube channels. He explained: “Most of the music that I’ve loved has been played to me by other people. You be the DJ, spread the love, tell people about this record. Enjoy it.” In May, the album was out on Spotify, and a “limited edition CD” was made available in October.
‘Name and Number’ was recorded in 2020, around the same time as Shine On, which was another duet of the two.
Lyrics
London (choose a city), Paris, New York, Berlin
Met you in a bar in Brixton
In a blue silk shirt and a voodoo pendant
Smoking with an air of independence
You’re so cool, I wanna be you
That girl, you know she’s got some attitude
Tell me, who do you think you are?
She walks around like she owns the place
But never leaves a tip at the bar
I hope you get, what you deserve
And I hope I get it, too, woo
What’s your name and number?
I wanna see you again
What’s your name and number?
Maybe be more than friends
You mean like lovers?
You wanna touch me
Met you in a bar in New York (New York)
They were playing Nu Shooz and I lost my mind
Found my coat and grabbed a taxi
When someone shouted back to mine
That girl, you know she’s got some attitude
Tell me who do you think you are?
She walks around like she owns the place
But never leaves a tip at the bar
I hope you get, what you deserve
And I hope I get it, too, woo
What’s your name and number?
I wanna see you again
What’s your name and number?
Maybe be more than friends
What’s your name and number?
I wanna see you again
What’s your name and number?
Maybe be more than friends
What’s your name and number?
What’s your name and number?
I wanna see you
I wanna be with you
What’s your name and number?
What’s your name and number?
I wanna see you
See you again
What’s your name and number? (Paradise garage)
What’s your name and number? (Johnny Dynell)
I wanna see you
See you again (Is that Diane Brill?)
What’s your name and number? (Suzanne Bartsch)
What’s your name and number? (Oh my God, Drew Elliot)
I wanna see you
See you again (Aimee, the party started)
