"Call Me What You Like" was the first single and the first release ever by English alternative and piano rock band Keane. Limited to 500 copies, the single was released through Zoomorphic, the band's own label set up to release their music when a record deal was not forthcoming. It was primarily sold in pub venues during early Keane gigs. A re-recording of the song was included as a b-side on their follow-up single, "Wolf at the Door".

[edit] Information about song
"Call Me What You Like" was the only song composed by Tom Chaplin (along with "Closer Now") until "Maybe I Can Change" in 2006, fact known because of the credits appearing on Strangers.
[edit] B-sides
[edit] Rubbernecking
Remixed in 2001 by Tim Rice-Oxley and Tom Walker from the Universal Constructors, is considered as one of Keane's oddest songs. Also, the title has no apparent relation with the lyrics of the song.
[edit] Closer Now
This song has attained cult status amongst fans, and of Keane's early songs, is considered to be the closest in style to the songs released during the Hopes and Fears era. The song is also notable because it is a rare example of a Keane song written and composed by Chaplin, according to a comment Hughes is believed to have made to a fan after a gig.[1] This is in contrast to virtually every other Keane song, for which the primary composer and songwriter is Rice-Oxley. This song's demo is often considered better than the released version as it follows a softer style and rhythm changes.
