Dial-A-Song
Established by rock band
They Might Be Giants (TMBG),
Dial-A-Song consists of an answering machine with a tape of the band playing various songs. It doesn't necessarily play their most popular work, however; some people call only to hear a promotional tape of a fake interview which compares TMBG's work to
Nazi Germany. Dial-A-Song can be reached at (718)387-6962, but beware of the slogan: "Always Busy, Often Broken." Some TMBG fans consider it a mark of pride even to have been able to reach Dial-A-Song. (Note: The Dial-A-Song system should not be confused with TMBG's record of a similar name: Dial-A-Song: 20 Years Of They Might Be Giants. This best-of anthology is not in fact a compilation of Dial-A-Song rarities; the name is simply a tribute.)
