With the brilliant Kiss FM breakfast show recently running a fun survey to ask people what song lyric they would have printed on their business card, Solopress.com thought we’d mock this one up for this week’s extra special Funny Friday.
“Hello! Is It Me You’re Looking For…”
Many thanks to our sales account manager Gary Toomey (pictured on the right) for designing this business card – paying homage to the great American singer-songwriter Lionel Richie and his former Motown band, The Commodores. See if you can spot Gary’s deliberate mistakes…? And if you can’t see them, you definitely need to read our blog on How to avoid Spelling Mistakes in your Printing!
Love is in the Air
According to the Kiss FM breakfast crew, it seems that some mischievous movers and shakers out there in club land have been printing up flirty business cards, featuring popular song lyrics, to hand over to people they fancy. The most popular of these – ‘taking care of business’ – cards apparently use Carly Rae Jepsen’s hit Call Me Maybe as their inspiration.
“Hey, I Just Met You – And This Is Crazy. But Here’s My Number, So Call Me Maybe!”

During the show itself, Kiss FM co-presenter Charlie revealed her business card would say “I Can’t Get No Sleep” (Faithless). While her cheeky colleagues Rickie and Melvin went for “Everyday I’m Shuffling” (LMFAO) and “Call My Name” (Cheryl Cole).
Here’s a selection of the best song lyric ideas from the listeners and fans over at the Kiss FM page on Facebook:
“I’m Sexy And I Know It” (LMFAO) – suggested by Ashley in Ely
“We’re Half Way There” (Bon Jovi) – suggested by Becca in Ruislip
“I Like Big Butts And I Can Not Lie” (Sir Mix-a-Lot) – suggested by Bradley in Newcastle
“Give Me Everything Tonight” (Pitbull) – suggested by Chrissy in Wallington
“No Scrubs” (TLC) – suggested by Erin in Yate
“Show Me Love” (Robin S) – suggested by Jason in Eltham
“I’m Ain’t Mr. Right, I’m Mr. Right Now” (Jennifer Lopez) – suggested by Shea in London

I would have on my business card – Simply the Best, Better than all the Rest – Tina Turner
Smith – Baby it’s you – Don’t want nobody cause baby it’s you
The “Call me maybe” lyrics are popular at the moment but I would have “All I want for Christmas is you” although probably only relevant at Christmas.
I’s adapt the song from Grease to “I’m the one that you want”

Thanks Michelle.
Here’s the blog she mentioned:

Oh and in response to this question sorry at the moment I am channeling the 80′s heavily so it is Pat Benetar ‘Love is a Battlefield’ lol
Haha… love this idea!
For me it would have to be Dolly Parton – ‘Working 9-5′
(I’d hope it would mean I could leave on time rather than staying until 6.30pm most days!!)
“We’re your first, your last, your everything” – CineMATTaG Productions
How about ‘Call me, call me any, any time’ (Blondie), or ‘Say my name, say my name’ (Destiny’s Child) for a more immediate response…?
“As long as I gaze on Waterloo sunset I am in paradise”
A perfect line for any Londoner, from just about the best pop song ever written
I’d have to have “Let me entertain you!” covers all options!
“when will I see you again?” The three degrees
How about…
“hello i love you won’t you tell me your name”
You can ring my bell by Anita ward
Absolute classic!
Ed Sheeran “You Need Me, I Don’t Need You”
not sure if you’d get many calls with it though lol
Perhaps “Need You Now” by Lady Antebellum might be more appropriate lol
The song lyric I would have printed on my business card is…Holla if you need me
.
I know you better than you think, by Graham Russell
It suits my healthcare profession…
‘It doesn’t matter where you come from…What matters is where you go’ from the song Peggy Sang the Blues by Frank Turner. This song is so inspirational and I defy anyone not to listen to it and instantly feel cheered up and ready to face the world. Hopefully the positivity would also flow through my business card
My song on my business card would be Overdraft to Overdrive by 10CC
Oh, Mine would definitely have to be something to do with a band…… “I’m gonna rock n roll all night…..and party every day!”
it would have to be the undertones song youve got my number why dont you use it
Id have ‘Come up and see me (make me smile)’ by steve harley and cockney rebel. Cute and relevant, plus a great song lol
I think, to get out of any possible trouble like being accused of breaking the photocopier (again), it’d be handy to have a card inscribed with “It Wasn’t Me” (by Shaggy).
I would like “If you need me, call me” (Ain’t No Mountain High Enough). It goes with my “no pressure” sales approach. For customers that leave everything until last minute, I would use “Don’t call me baby”. It was very difficult to answer that question.happy Christmas.
My friend is a priest so he could have ‘Living on a Prayer’. but I would have ‘Always look on the bright side of life’ and give it to my grumpy customers.
‘Take me out tonight
Where there’s music and there’s people
And they’re young and alive… ‘
And if they spot who that’s by, they’ve got taste and they’re worth spending time with.
