"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.[3] It was released as competition for the Christmas Number One, but only got to #62.[1]

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".[4][5]

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.[6]
