Here are samples of some of the musical answering machine messages I recorded in my "home studio", many of which are adapted from popular songs. The song messages are mostly either a cappella (ie. comprising human voices only) or songs with a high harmony content, as I love harmony!

NOTE: These samples are low-quality versions, and most of them are shorterned versions. If you want the full-length, CD-quality versions, then OBTAIN DOWNLOAD ACCESS!! Several hundreds served since March 2001!

Too many answering machine messages to choose from? Here are some suggestions:

• If you're female, and wish to use messages with a female voice, then I'm afraid there's only Wannabe so far.
  (BTW, If any of you can do a good Britney Spears or Christina Aguilera imitation, then there are tons of cool stuff we can do - let me know!!)
  
  
• If you stay with others and want the message to refer to "us", "we" etc. and not "I" or "me", then the following would all work: Just The Two Of Us, The Lion Sleeps Tonight, Short People, Silent Night, Uhh Ahh, The Way It Makes Me Feel.
  
  
• If you're particularly into a capella/harmony (like myself), then I'd go for Man In The Mirror, Ya Gotta Be, Get Away Jordan (version #1 and version #2), Can't Take That Away From Me, How Long Has This Been Going On, and My Girl.
  
  
• If you're looking for something short, then you could firstly try Heartbreak Hotel, If We Really, Wannabe, or As Long As You Love Me. If you want something even shorter still, then I'd choose Get Away Jordan (version #2), or Uhh Ahh.

If so, you may express your appreciation in the following ways:

1. If you're a major recording company, you may sign me up or employ me here (but don't tell my current employers!).
2. If your name is William Gates or you have too much money, you may give me a million dollars (see bottom of page for methods of payment).
3. For all other people, you may give me some feedback.
