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. Based in Brooklyn, NY, 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: . This best-of anthology is not in fact a compilation of Dial-A-Song rarities; the name is simply a tribute.) Longtime listeners to Dial-a-Song have counted at least 500 distinct songs and variations recorded by They Might Be Giants, making them one of the most prolific rock bands in history. In the early 2000s, TMBG started dialasong.com, which is far more reliable than the original, phone-based version.
