In Australia, we recently saw an episode where George was listening to his
own answering machine message.

It started .... "Believe it or not George isn't at home" and it was to the
tune of a famous song.

Can someone please tell me the name of the song and the words to his
message?

Thanks!

The song was the theme song to The Greatest American Hero.

I believe the name of the song is "Believe it or not it' just me."

It was also the theme song from the 80's action adventure "The Great
American Hero" starring William Katt and Robert Culp.

As far as the words to George's message, I can't remember. Sorry!

No it wasn't a famous song but I think everyone will agree that it was
one hell of a funny bit.

Here's George's message one more time:

Believe it or not, George isn't at home.
Please leave a message at the beep.
I must be out or I'd pick up the phone.
Where could I be?
Believe it or not, I'm not home.

And here's the words to the original tune from "The Great American Hero:"

Believe it or not, I'm walking on air.
Never knew I could feel so free.
Flying away on a wing and a prayer,
Who could it be?
Believe it or not, it's just me.

Believe it or not, George isn't at home, just leave a message at the
beep, I must be out or I'd pick up the phone, where could I be? Believe
it or not I'm not home.BEEEEEEP.

I put it on my machine, but it works better this way:
Believe it or not ______ isn't home now
please leave a me-ssage at the tone
If I was here now, I'd pick up the phone
Where could I be?


Believe it or not I'm not home.

tone and home rhymes a lot better, and the words fit better my way.

Kramer's machine message are:
"giddy-up! BEEP"

does anyone remember any other machine messages from
seinfeld?

another funny scene is when Jerry get's called by a
salesperson:

In the other end: the person is introducing himself

Jerry: I'm rather bussy at the moment, can't you give me
your home number, and I'll call you back

In the other end: uhm. we arnet allowed to do that

Jerry: Oh, so you don't like complete strangers calling you?

In the other end: ehh.. no..

Jerry: Good, cause then you know how I feel.

Don't forget the episode where Steinbrenner thinks George is dead and
Frank Costanza leaves that message on George's machine......

And, Jerry also did a good number when the New York Times called, asking
him to subscribe, and he said "Yes" and hung up. I've gotta try that
one!

There was another salesperson that called Jerry for the New York times:

Salesperson: Hello, I would like to know if your interested in a
subscription to the new york time

Jerry: Yes I would. (He than hung up on the salesperson)

Yes. I remember how crazy the studio audience was going at that point.
That was a great quote... bet the telemarketers are thrilled every
time that comes up in reruns.

On the same theme:
Other end: Are you interested in (product)?
Jerry (cheerfully): Yes!(hangs up).
I've got to try that some day...

Times?" and he said "Yeah" and slammed the phone down.. hehehehhehhehee
