Zug.Com, famous for their hilarious prank phone calls has done it once again. The have created an outrageous MP3 that will have you laughing while at the same time dialing the phone. From the Zug.Com website:

Since the RIAA is actively suing people who trade unauthorized MP3s, we're encouraging the download and distribution of our new RIAA parody song:

Now, the joke doesn't work unless you share this song with everyone you know. So here are some ideas to get you rolling:

* Share it. If you use a file-sharing program like Grokster or Morpheus, download this song into your shared folder, keeping the filename intact. (It shares better if everyone uses the same filename.) Fire up KaZaA, endure the 40,000 popup ads, and enjoy.

* E-mail it. Send a copy of the song to three people you know and love. Or Ben Schumin. Whichever's easier.

* Send it to a rock station. E-mail the song to your favorite local rock station. You can find their address via their cheesy website, which undoubtedly has lots of blinky graphics, and a picture of the wacky morning DJ wearing a Speedo containing a rolled-up tube sock.

* Send it to a college station. College students should e-mail the song to your college station, which will get the song out to tens and tens of people, sometimes reaching all the way to a neighboring building.

* Spread it. Lobby your local karaoke bar to add the song to their collection.

* Perform it. Organize an elementary school play in which the children all rap the song in unison. Invite the parents.

* Hum it. Buy a kazoo. Go into a public toilet and hum the song incessantly on your kazoo until you have the commodes all to yourself.

* Sing it. If you have access to the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, arrange a choral version of the song, and perform it during an upcoming Sunday service. Serve refreshments.

JH: A penis?

Purfus thanks for the heads up, its fixed....

Now THAT'S a great piece of anti-RIAA propaganda. 7-7-5-0-1-0-1, 7-7-5-0-1-0-1, 2-o-2... I'll have that catchy riff stuck in my head for weeks...

HAHAHA, thats wicked cool

Love the music, guys.

I won't get sued for sharing this will I? (just kidding)

I wonder if that number is real? The deviant in my mind is searching for quarters

That is awesome... and have you read the transcripts of the prank calls? I was tearing at the end of it!!!
The prank letter is the best.

This is going to spread like wildfire, once i'm done spreading it...

issues dling it with Shareaza, hmm.

shareaza has some problems, i use firebird to d/l it and it's working so far

the number is real according to Any Who online directory

Recording Industry Association of America
1330 Connecticut Avenue Northwest
Washington, DC 20036
202-775-0101

right on, that tune rocks!!!!!!!!!
can I add guitar to it????
Like heavy guitar, and place in my shared folder????????

sweet song.. I hope people go to payphones and prank the hell out of them.!

Outstanding Guys!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let's make sure to post the file online with file names after RIAA songs. Wouldn't it be great for the RIAA to download this inadvertantly?

They probably already have downloaded it. I can just see some RIAA secretary with head phones bopping to this song without her boss's knowledge

woodhead,

Please add the heavy guitar! I'd like to hear that. I've kinda got a riff for it already, it's already in the song.

For the chorus use the phone number, sounds pretty cool.

Palm mute on the 0's.

They say the numbers kinda fast, but speed picking helps you keep up...:^).

Let me know what you think.

I've never transcribed in a message box before, hope you get the idea.

Maybe they can do one with the 800-223-2328 number.

Hey ... look what I found at switchboard.com:

Cary H Sherman
5414 Blackistone Rd
Bethesda, MD 20816-1821
(301)320-5414

I know from his letter to Norm Coleman that our 'friend' in the RIAA has the middle initial of H. RIAA headquaters is only 14 minutes from this address. (Yahoo maps http://maps.yahoo.com/dd_result?ed=PhZ1WeV.wikL72ZA7t4aOwZiPRhWPUBEYE7EQt.x1Zgs5eBuj5zKpyPXb2Ay9dlvc6e.2oyIJA7f6i1_ERW4kyXP_4x.1lO6rw--&csz=Bethesda%2C+MD&country=us&tcsz=Washington%2C+DC&tcountry=us ) If the link doesn't work, paste it.
Anyway, I think it is a safe bet that this is Cary's home phone number. Have fun!!!

I thought you'd all like to know that when I went to the zug.com site and downloaded the mp3 my PG said :

Connection Rejected: 146.82.174.10 - RIAA (09-27-2003 @ 02:00:5

I'm thinkin' maybe someone doesn't find the joke all that funny .

this is the gratest song since pink floyd whas releaseing music the gratest song since the hippies took down DC this is just grate it should be are theam song

ThePirateKing,
I had a bunch of connection attempt last night too. Do you have a firewall with a log. More extensive than peerguardian that is?

pirfus,

The only firewall I have is zonealarm, and I don't have it set up for max security or anything. I don't know if that would have made a differance or not.

Anyway, nothing's showing up on the ZA log, but I had 9 attempts last night and they're all logged on PG.

Zug,

You didn't sample any other songs to make that did you? I'd hate for some grandmotherly widow to treat you like Eminem.

Funny, why is it when Puff Daddy or Eminem steals music for profit, its called "sampling"; when folks do it because they love music, its called "theft".

More pot & kettle from the RIAA.

I just checked for a Cary Sherman at Bethesda, MD on US search. It claims that his age is 55. So is this the correct Cary Sherman, I'm thinking it is. That age seems right to me.

I found this in some guys' library today that was downloading stuff from me and then I come here and see all this. fomcrotflmfao!

I had tears in my eyes reading the transcript of the phone conversations...

Heh.........CLASSIC. I like it.

Woodhead, buddy, drop me an email. I'll give you the contact info to reach me at the shop I work at. fussnfeathers@yahoo.com

I deal ESP, figured you'd like to know that...also PRS, Brian Moore, Parker....good stuff. I'll be willing to help you guys out with gear....well....at cheap prices.

I lost your website link, pass it back to me in your email.

Im broken hearted when i went to www.zug.com i could not download the song and pass it along it was like a dead link but i at least got to hear it thare wasw a download to a temp file if any ones got an idea please post thanx..

I share this song on the overnet network now, here's the link: RIAA_Phone_Call.mp3 . I have also submitted this link to sharereactor.

Stupid. Anyway here's the ed2k address of it.
