Their Dial-A-Song service had this message once, which is the 13th track on their B-side album ''Miscellaneous T''.

->'''Gloria:''' What do you think--what do you make out of that recording?\\
'''Guy on Phone:''' I don't know, Gloria, I just do--\\
'''Gloria:''' Some kind of singing. They sound like all kinds of people, right?\\
'''Guy on Phone:''' Yeah.\\
'''Gloria:''' And then it says, "Another child is born in India every time you call this number," right?\\
'''Guy on Phone:''' Yeah, right.\\
'''Gloria:''' Does that make any sense to you?\\
'''Guy on Phone:''' No, it doesn't make no sense to me.\\
'''Gloria:''' Bu--and the guy that spoke--I don't know who he is.\\
'''Guy on Phone:''' Yeah.\\
'''Gloria:''' But that--that--it doesn't sound like no answering machine, right?\\
'''Guy on Phone:''' No, it ain't an answering machine because they're not saying anything; they just--\\
'''Gloria:''' But what does he get--how does he make money on this? Whatever he's advertising in the paper. This is the part that don't make no sense.\\
'''Guy on Phone:''' Oh, he's advertising this in the paper you saw it.\\
'''Gloria:''' In the Village Voice, yeah. They got--that's where the Kiss Clinic, but they give you another number if you wanna join it. Then I got the "intellectuals meet with other intellectuals..."\\
'''Guy on Phone:''' Yeah.\\
'''Gloria:''' "...speak another language."\\
'''Guy on Phone:''' Yeah. Oh.\\
'''Gloria:''' They meet at La Met--La Maisonette restaurant. They give you the price. Then they give you another number to call if you're interested. This guy... all you get is this here recording, but u-w--I don't see how he makes money.\\
'''Guy on Phone:''' Yeah, yeah.\\
'''Gloria:''' You know what I'm saying? It's just.... They got the craziest things in that paper.\\
'''Guy on Phone:''' Yeah, yeah.\\
'''Gloria:''' They come over with all--they got the craziest things. But this one here-- "There Must Be Giants," it's called. And it says "call machine," and they got the phone number.\\
'''Guy on Phone:''' Yeah.\\
'''Gloria:''' But what kind of money does he make? It don't make no sense. Well, he don't make any money, right?\\
'''Guy on Phone:''' No.\\
'''Gloria:''' But, that's--then he's a nut, right? Do you see--do you see any sense to that? "There May Be Giants?" That reco--that recording I have on. The new one. Did you hear it? I changed it. I took off the intellectuals. I put on There May Be Giants.\\
'''Guy in Background:''' What?\\
'''Gloria:''' Who's They May Be Giants?\\
'''Guy in Background:''' What are you talking about?\\
'''Gloria:''' That's what's on my--the phone, There May Be G-- well I can't explain it, 'cause I don't know what it is.\\
'''Guy in Background:''' (unintelligible muttering) you could make sense once in a while.\\
Gloria: Look in the paper! Don't blame me if the guy's a nut.\\
