Isaac Hayes has a voicemail for your Valentine

Categories: Advertising, Music, Web/Tech

Isaachayes_lWho is the man… who’ll record a Valentine’s Day message for his brother man? It’s Isaac Hayes, who’ll croon a custom message via voicemail to your Valentine, thanks to this Web widget from Sprint. (Hat tip to Gawker for the link.) Yes, you can even get the erstwhile Chef to wax romantic about Chocolate Salty Balls. I found the program hilarious; PopWatch’s Adrienne Day did too, though she also found it creepy. How about you, PopWatchers? Hilarious, creepy, or both? What message would you want Isaac Hayes to coo to your loved one? And what other star would you enlist to leave a voicemail for your Valentine?

    it doesnt work as well as youd think

    Thats got to be the creepiest singing telegram voicemail I have ever heard. If you want to break up with a loved one or scare them to death I suggest you send them that.

    It doesn’t even have any preloaded names – not even Isaac Hayes. It was nice of you to try, Sprint, but the Snakes on a Plane calls from Samuel L. were far superior.

    Definitely creepy – when he doesn’t know the word, he just does a weird moan that made me feel bad inside.

    Issac Hayes as Chef: “(sings to Thriller beat as a zombie) I’m gonna make love even when I’m dead / Your body might get cold, but it’s always hot in my bed / Make love, don’t you be afraid / Just because my heart ain’t beating, it don’t mean you won’t get la-d.”
    As for famous person voice message: Robert Smith of The Cure.

    He’s sounds like the dude from Slingblade. “Dear Uh-Mmm-mmm, I’m gonna Mmm-uh-mmm when I see Mmm-uh-uh.” It’s the creepyist thing I’ve ever heard.

    After quitting South Park over his cult of a fake religion, I really don’t care what Isaac Hayes says or does. I hope someday he comes to his senses, because (on the other hand) everybody loves Chef.

    Stupid. Same lazy timing no matter what you write. Won’t sing “lay”, “bacon”, or “gravy”!?!? I wrote in “I want to make love to you woman Want to lay you down buy the fire”, etc. Did not recognize that famous “Chef” lyric. L@M3rZ.

    It is kind of lame. But it’s great for a joke. I sent one to my gf that was “balls” five time followed by “gravy” (for the smooth humming, y’know?).
