"Sex on the Phone" is a song recorded by German eurodance project E-Rotic. It was released in June 1995 as the third single from their debut album Sex Affairs . As the title suggests it, the main theme of the song is phone sex. The single reached number six in the German Singles Chart and was ranked for 14 weeks. It was also a hit in Austria where it reached number two and totaled 14 weeks in the top 30. In other European countries, it achieved a minor success, failing the top 20 in most of them. The song was later included on E-Rotic's compilations Greatest Tits (The Best of) and Dancemania presents E-ROTIC Megamix.
In 2009, the song was covered by Lyane Leigh, the original singer of "Sex on the Phone", under her stage name S.E.X. Appeal, and was released as single.
