"Le Téléphone Pleure" was a 1974 hit single by French artist Claude François. It was released on Disques Flèche/Phonogram. The song was re-recorded in English as "Tears on the Telephone" and was a hit in the British charts[1] in 1976.

Italian singer-songwriter Domenico Modugno made an Italian version of the song, "Piange... il telefono", in 1975. This version gained so much success that a film was made based on its lyrics, Piange... il telefono. It was directed by Lucio De Caro and starred Domenico Modugno, Francesca Guadagno, Marie Yvonne Danaud and Claudio Lippi.
