Answering Machine Message

[Maritime Q-Scout]

A few years ago I had an answering machine message that ended with the song "Walk The Dinosaur". We'd often catch business people laughing when we'd listen to our voicemail.

Now I'm looking to record my voicemail message, and want something better than "Hi you've reached Jon at 123-4567, leave a message."

So I thought I'd ask the CP Brain Trust to come up with a silly, innovative answering machine message for me that incorporates a song of some sort. G-rated that will make people laugh when they call and I'm not home.

I can't sing, so . . . I won't be.

Thoughts/ideas?

have it start by simply going:
"Hello"

with a pause to let whoever called ask the machine how you are doing.

Explain that you are out filling your hole with a "$5 Footlong"

Lionel Ritchie and the Cure have a couple of pretty solid answering machine tracks.

I've always wanted to do this when a telemarketer calls.

Just make your message the one verse from Lionel Ritchie's Hello

Hello, is it me you're looking for?
'Cause I wonder where you are
And I wonder what you do
Are you somewhere feeling lonely or is someone loving you?

"You just better start sniffin' your own
rank subjugation jack 'cause it's just you
against your tattered libido, the bank and
the mortician, forever man and it wouldn't
be luck if you could get out of life alive"
