"Find Me A Cell Phone Plan"
Parody Written by:

The Lyrics
He was sittin there, with phone in hand
Waitin for the weekend, to call his dad
It's sad to watch, his desparate plight
He's making all his phone calls in the dead of night
I asked him why he only called me after ten?
He said, "It costs me ten bucks every minute, man!"
"But if you find me a cell phone plan
And a phone with text messaging
Strong signal strength, even out of town
No asking 'Can you hear me now?'
Lots of minutes so I can speak
All day long, the entire week
We can talk in the day again
If you can find me a cell phone plan"
He showed to me, a bill so large
With taxes, processing fees and an overage charge
He ripped it up, said he'd like to be
In countryside where people are still roaming free
He said, "If there's any way I can
Could I get unlimited nights and weekends?"
Find me a cell phone plan
And a phone with text messaging
Strong signal strength, even out of town
No asking 'Can you hear me now?'
Lots of minutes so I can speak
All day long, even during peak
We can talk in the day again
If you can find me a cell phone plan
Find me a cell phone plan
And a phone with text messaging
Strong signal strength, even out of town
No asking 'Can you hear me now?'
Lots of minutes so I can speak
All day long, the entire week
We can talk in the day again
If you can find me a cell phone plan
Waitin for the weekend, to call his dad
It's sad to watch, his desparate plight
He's making all his phone calls in the dead of night
I asked him why he only called me after ten?
He said, "It costs me ten bucks every minute, man!"
"But if you find me a cell phone plan
And a phone with text messaging
Strong signal strength, even out of town
No asking 'Can you hear me now?'
Lots of minutes so I can speak
All day long, the entire week
We can talk in the day again
If you can find me a cell phone plan"
He showed to me, a bill so large
With taxes, processing fees and an overage charge
He ripped it up, said he'd like to be
In countryside where people are still roaming free
He said, "If there's any way I can
Could I get unlimited nights and weekends?"
Find me a cell phone plan
And a phone with text messaging
Strong signal strength, even out of town
No asking 'Can you hear me now?'
Lots of minutes so I can speak
All day long, even during peak
We can talk in the day again
If you can find me a cell phone plan
Find me a cell phone plan
And a phone with text messaging
Strong signal strength, even out of town
No asking 'Can you hear me now?'
Lots of minutes so I can speak
All day long, the entire week
We can talk in the day again
If you can find me a cell phone plan

I, personally, don't pay any attention to when I "should" be making calls...but this is still fabulous, Jeff! 5s...
Great Jeff! If he likes there are about twenty telemarketers trying to sell me cell-phone plans everyday who I would gladly point in his direction - 555
Good job, Jeff. I changed plans once, not reading the fine print which obligated me for two more years...they've been trying to collect for two years :-) 5's
You definitely connected with this one..
Thanks Arwen, Stuart, Dee, and Airfarcewon!
Truly a parody for the 21st century!
SOOOOO Great! I love this!!!
Good call!
i love it but i also love the original song
SOTM - DKTOS, but it's a really good read.
Thank you Adagio, Lindsay, JB, Ash, and JD!
Jeff, loved it, as always! Reminds me of Ryan, when he hears "can you hear me now" he says NO!
Great parody, Jeff! Your monthly bill is $555.
(SOTM) Parodying - connecting people! No, wait... that's Nokia's slogan.
SOTM - DKTOS, but I'm sure it's good anyway
(SOTM) DKTOS - I'll call someone for an MP3 as soon as I can get some minutes on my cell. Hello, hello, can you hear me now?
(SOTM) DKTOS, but really well written
What Kristof said.
(SOTM) What they all said.
(SOTM) Original doesn't ring a cell... but reads well.
Yee haw; chorus worked very well.
SOTM--I love this just as much as I did the first time around, Jeff! Maybe more! =)
Thank you Claude, Melhi, Ag, Rick, Kristof, Guy, John, Johnny, Ash, AKA, etc, etc, etc! Arwen, I thank you as much as I did the first time around...maybe more! =)
Well done, good chorus.
this is great ....superb verses ... I really liked the second verse ...great choice of subject .......nice one! (SOTM)
(SOTM) it reads so well, Jeff - I just wish I knew the OS!
(SOTM) See above!
This one rang a few bells!
SOTM... see above vote and comment :-)
Another great job from Jeffaroo. And y'all who DKTOS, I've got it up (albeit temporarily) at
spaff.com/dktos
spaff.com/dktos
DKTOS (and if I had speakers currently, I'd take Spaff up on that), but still reads excellently: the "a bill so large/overage charge" stanza was inspired man.
(SOTM) DKTOS, but reads well.
Thank you to everyone I've missed, and especially Spaff for posting the tune to try to give me a fighting chance =)
(SOTM) DKTOS - don't have a cell phone being as how I still appear to live mostly in the last century as far as cultural icons & doo-dads go...pretty good read...
Jeff--awesome. all 5's. if you got time, read mine & tell me what you think. its : shoot me a monster buck. chris
"Cell phone plan" cannot be said as smoothly as "Birmingham", but this is a parody the phone companies richly deserve. -- MM
(ABC3F) God, I'm predictable. I thought oh goody, I can make a Calcutta telemarketers gag here, and then I saw that I already have - d'oh - therefore see above for same gag - nice work, Jeff
(ABC3) DKTOS, but great writing. Knowing that it's a country song, I could see Cledus T Judd doing this one.
Agri: Cledus did parody this song: Bake Me A Country Ham. Pretty funny stuff.
(ABCF3) Wow, I think you set a record for the most DKTOS ever left on one song, heh heh. Not wanting to leave those five lame-ass letters here, I Limewired TOS. Too slow for my tastes, but the pacing/rhyimg is very good. I don't own/seldom use a cell phone, but I still got most of this.
(ABC) See above
Nobody knows the new country hits!!!! Well, I do and I'll text you this you get F.......I......V.......E....... Damn where's that damn S!!!
ABC3F-Good
(ABC3-F) Excellent job with this one: 555-555-5555
(ABC-F) Usually I like chorus variation, but this one worked well here. You get 555 unlimited anytime minutes from me.
(ABC3F) Almost two years down the line, I now know the OS. Top stuff, Jeff
