When I was twenty years old, I made a couple of outgoing greetings for my answering machine based on an old TV show theme song and a showtune from Bye Bye Birdie. The TV show theme song was from I Love Lucy and the song from Bye Bye Birdie was "Talk to Me" which is originally sung from a telephone booth. Anyway, I created these outgoing greetings and I left them on my answering machine for a little while, and then I felt sort of silly about them and afraid of what people might think, so I took them off. But now here we are in the Age of YouTube, and it's—gosh—almost twenty-five years later, and I figured, "Why not? Just for fun, share them with the world." So, here are my silly outgoing greeting songs that I created in 1988. Hope you enjoy!

Talk to me. Don't hang up. Please talk to me.
I don't care what you say. Talk to me.
Leave your name and telephone—
Gratefully, when I come home,
I will listen very near.
Then I'll call you, dear.
Talk to me. Leave a message. Talk to me!
And I'll get back to you— talk to me.

This is Daniel, and I'm not home.
If I were, I'd pick up the phone.
Just leave your name and a message—
I'll call you before you can rhyme "message."
Keep it simple and not too long.
If you'd like, you can sing a song!
Just leave your name and number,
And then, you have yourself a wonderful day!
Ba-ba-ba Ba-ba-ba-Ba-ba-bah Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-bah!
