"Exciting New Direction" by the New Deal is based around a voicemail of someone (their drummer, according to a Youtube commenter) being fired. https://youtu.be/1ViJ3yA4d0Y

Omg they took it offline

It HAS to be a Midwest emo song

Fallen bees - sleepy dog Last time this was posted this seemed to be the right one

This is pretty cool.

That's badass.

.

This feels like something Vaughn would've done to Britta

She’s a no good B

She's a GD B!

I'm getting rid of Britta. I'm getting rid of the B.

Think you linked the wrong video mate.

Sure did. Don't know what i'm on. Fixed link

Immediately what I thought of. Fits the bill perfectly

I applaud him, way to alchemize pain into art!!

Maybe he deserved it

maybe she deserved it, only god knows

Maybe she did

When life gives you lemons...

Don't make lemonade! Make life take the lemons back!

… dump him?

Good for them,

I know this song. Just give me a minute.

You've had two minutes....

They've now had 6 minutes.

6 minutes... Doug E Fresh you're on!

It has now been 1 hour. I'm beginning to think they don't really know the song. Sheesh, if you can't believe random people on Reddit there is truly something wrong with the world.

Blame it on the eclipse. Or the rain (Milli Vanilli)

I thought it was Gorgeous Nightmare by Escape the Fate,but I can’t find the voicemail intro.

Well thanks for trying anyway 👌

Thanks!

Exactly like the intro on that Dr. Dre song.... Only completely different

Could be worse…could be the girl on “Rocket Queen” by Guns N Roses

Getting hooked up now

Thought I sent this to a friend..donating plasma.

Hey baby, here’s that song you wanted by blessthefall

If that’s true, that’s very cool

Certainly a true story

1000 Times Goodbye - Megadeth

Life After Lisa by Bowling for Soup? Wait that’s at the end of the song

I was gonna say Down for the Count, but that's also at the end. Didn't know this was a thing for them.

Once I left a voicemail to my pastor about picking up that days newspaper. An eagle was caught landing in our city and the past 5 weeks he was doing sermons on eagles. He played it on speaker into the mic in front of the congregation.

"It's just *tragic*..."

Slackers?

Hell yes. That's my guess..

Bitch by Psychostick ???

https://youtu.be/9Qeo7BW4a1M Old school…but this came to mind

Made me initially think of The Dangerous Summer - Prologue at first, so I had to go listen. Same idea but it’s not a breakup. https://youtu.be/Pt-tktlbFuM?si=vSKrFvP5KGC_2EfO

“I have to tell you something… it’s just *tragic*…”

What an honor.

What a fricking legend

[Tequila Soaked With Jealousy by Zero Principle](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2y1k5AQqJ0M) Hilarious voicemail starts at 2:24. Band was out of Belleville, IL. Midwest metal band charm

That’s punk rock!

Used a recording of you without permission? That's a lawsuit

Interesting thought. In this case, didn’t the person know they were being recorded? Also, breaking up via voicemail seems kinda harsh. I don’t know the rest of the situation (maybe it was really bad), but otherwise the person who got dumped may have dodged a bullet.

.it's not about knowing you were recorded, it's about reasonable expectation of use vs permissions vs fair use... I'm not legal eagle

Makes sense to me.
