"I Wanna 1-2-1 With You" is a mobile telephone-themed novelty-pop song by Solid Gold Chartbusters, written by Guy Pratt, Jimmy Cauty, and Lloyd Stanton. It was released as competition for the Christmas Number One, but only got to #62.
The release of this song prevented the Super Furry Animals from releasing their song "Wherever I Lay My Phone (That's My Home)", on the grounds that it was "based on the same Nokia ringtone".
Costumes from its music video were later used in an unusual advertising campaign in which online film clips purportedly showed pranksters stealing the cellphones of unsuspecting passersby.
