Does anybody else know the apparently widely-circulated recording of a Boston College student making prank phone calls to the owner of a bar???

The recording was made years ago, and my cousin made a copy for me. This kid calls the bar and asks for fictitious names, and the bartenders soon catch on to him, and get extremely irate and profane.

Yes, I know it sounds childish, but it makes me laugh out loud every time I hear it. They even made a song with some of the calls dubbed into the music. What got me thinking about it was getting into my cousin's car on Thanksgiving and he had the song cued up. :muhaha

Gosh, I didn't realize I'd posted this four years ago already! :zoinks Anyway, I hit the jackpot yesterday and wanted to share to see if ANYONE on here (especially those of us over thirty maybe) has heard of the recordings. Besides the links below, you can also google Tube Bar, which will return a ton of hits.Check out these links and PLEASE chime in if you know the recording or even the takeoff of the calls on the Simpsons when Bart calls the local bar asking for fictitious names -- these recording is where the writers first got the idea!
