Subject: Allan Sherman - My son, the box

Christmas came a little early this year! ;D
Six CD's packed with Allan Sherman parodies. Ah, I think I'll be calling in sick for a week or so. ;)

And now that you're on the right road,
Don't forget (the) Area Code.

Ah, I ran across this song today, "The Let's All Call Up AT&T & Protest to the President March". It was pretty good.
Let us wake him up in his slumber
Get a pencil I'll give you his number
It's 3 1 8 5 2 7 3 0 8 7 4 2 9 dash 5 1 plus 4 9 0 6 7 4 0 8 8 5 2 hyphen 1 1 4 6 2 0 5 7 9 hyphen dash 0 3

I think right now my favorite is "Makin' Coffee".
One button says with sugar
One button says with cream
Then there's a mystery button
It splashes your suit with steam
And...
Machines have downs
Machines have ups
Next day one dime paid
For eighteen cups
I just kept drinking
I stood there thinking
That's too much coffee
And that's not all
That seemed so strange
It also gave me $9 change
I said that's funny
That's too much money
It said shut up and drink your coffee
Or I'll give you more steam
It can make more than coffee
It makes hot soup and tea
And if it really likes you
A mixture of all three
;D

Applause for enjoying it. All-digit dialing was something I grew up with. As soon as my parents explained the song to me, I burst out laughing, because I'd always wondered why the phone exchanges in my town had the numbers they had.
Umm, I mean, no sirree, when I was a kid, I had no interest in the phone system, no sirree, not at all. Nope, nope, nope. I was straight as an arrow, definitely not a phreak.
