"Batphone" is the tenth song off of Arctic Monkeys' sixth studio album "Tranquility Base Hotel And Casino".
“Bat phone” is business jargon for a private phone line whose calls take priority over official channels. The term had its genesis in the late 1960s Batman television series.
The song speaks of technology, and gives both an analysis and criticism of modern day use of devices. Interestingly enough, songwriter Alex Turner doesn’t associate himself with any form of social media outside using Twitter for promotion and updates. He warned “technology is worth keeping an eye on” during his interview with Billboard promoting the album.
