I have been looking for an opportunity to showcase the embeddability (is that a new word?) of Google Voice messages. I got the perfect opportunity tonight.
My dad is a goober, and I love him dearly. He lives in Mississippi with my 13-year-old sister Scarlet. She has no control over him, poor thing.
Anyway, this was the first message he left:
The little thing he is singing is the BC Clark Anniversary Sale jingle (if you click this link, choose the “original jingle” – it’s the best one). BC Clark is a famous old jewelry store in Oklahoma, and you know it is Christmas when they start playing the jingle on the radio. I missed it so much I have the jingle as a ringtone on my phone.
The hippopotamus song he is referring to is “I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas” which is my most favorite Christmas song.
Then he called back a couple of minutes later and left this message:
(I know he sounds drunk, but he swears he is just sick and getting over bronchitis. I can attest that he doesn’t drink much and is usually just goofy.)
Shortly after that call, I had another message:
I did call and speak to both of them and we had a terrific laugh over his version of the song. This is the actual song:
Voice messages posted will the full knowledge of all parties involved. Merry Christmas, Daddy!
