Yes, I know it's Taylor-related, but dang that is a catchy song and a great video. Something we could all relate to. Maybe Jazzmang should write and record a song about UPS.

Enjoy!

How's this for a start?

Hundreds of miles it’s traveled in cars
Banged up in parties and stepped on in bars
That good old guitar has always survived
Now only God knows how it will arrive

Chorus:

Sorry Pal, you’re out of luck
It’s gone into the Big Brown Truck
How it arrives is anyone’s guess
The poor thing’s been given to UPS

The case is hard and built to last
Its sturdiness is unsurpassed
Double-boxed and wrapped with care
“Fragile” stickers everywhere

You filled it with foam and loosened the strings
Tried to protect it from scratches and dings
You whispered a prayer and bid it farewell
Then sent it into the UPS hell

That's great! I'm hearing a "Big Bad John" thing here!

The "United Breaks Guitars" song just made the local Vancouver afternoon radio show. Some publicist at United must be having a hard time figuring out a counter-strike.

I suspect the publicists are turning it over to the lawyers as we speak.

The power of protest music - if United try to sue it will make them look even worse

A fitting tribute to a half fast managed corporation. :mrgreen:
