IRS is Suing Me
IRS is Suing Me. No, I'm not in trouble with the IRS; that's just the name of the song. https://soundcloud.com/orygun/irs-is-suing-meI get a lot of these scam calls and once in a while they leave a message. A couple of them are in this song and I downloaded a couple more from the internet. Pretty simple song structure - just three unvarying chords, a bass track, drums, strum and accompaniment gtr. Thanks for listening. Well the IRS they're suing me That's what the nice lady is telling me But I never heard her mention my name And her grammar seems a little strange You better call us now we need to talk to you Before we tell the cops to come after you They're just down the street and they're on your trail Gonna knock on your door and take you to jail The sheriff's on the phone and he's mad as can be It seems I didn't show up for my jury duty He says I gotta pay a fine at the mini-mart Put a hundred fifty dollars on a Visa gift card This is Microsoft we have some news for you Your computer's been hacked. Now here's what to do We're gonna fix it for you we have the solution But you gotta send us money thru Western Union My Microsoft license, it's expired?? I'm gonna take to my bed cause that news is too dire You know I'd better call that telephone number Wait a minute I've got a Macintosh computer Caller ID is my confirmation That my bank had called for some information Some suspicious activity had just occurred So they helped me log in and change my password Hey I finally got some really good news From out of the blue I won a Caribbean cruise But they cannot send me my ticket just yet I gotta pay the tax with a cashier's check Man you gotta curb your gullibility And that's gonna be your responsibility They're gonna keep on calling all of the time As long as someone out there falls for their line

ØSkald: Thank you Tom: Thanks. Yeah, this song was fun to write and it was the fastest one I've put together yet. Guess I was motivated since I'd been getting a lot of those calls the last few days. I'll check out that link you sent

Hi Like the satire which matches well with the tune. It would be great if you make a video also. These scammers usually target my mother-in-law who is her 80's. Since she does not know much we don't let her answer the phone. One time we got several boxes of adult diapers. She does not need them, but I guess she answered the phone that day.

doug Thank you Vicente Thanks. It's gotten so bad that we don't answer our phones anymore if we don't recognize caller ID. Kamikaze

These crooks that do this make me so mad! Glad to see you're smart enough not to buy into the scam. I still get the Nigerian Million Dollar inheritance emails, which I toss. Song is great. Very creative way to turn lemons into lemonade. John B.

Best vocal tune I've ever heard from you far and away. Too bad Jerry Reed is dead; this would have been right up his alley. Really, just a great song and well performed. Bill

This is AWESOME! I really like that you talked your way through the tune, that works perfectly. I can relate to the calls, we get them all the time. What I was saying about the talking, I've come to realize that a lot of great singers that I like that I call singers are really just talking and adding a little bit of time to their voice rather than trying to carry a song. Really Enjoyed hearing this one! Great work man!

A song I can relate to, our phone is on permanent answerphone. Nicely done Bjorn loved it.

That was effin hilarious. And so on point. Loved that you incorporated the voice mail recordings the way you did. Oh, and the Mac line was great.
