Ringing In The Anniversary of Callin’ Oates

Ringing In The Anniversary of Callin’ Oates

Then a newly minted Twilion and die-hard Hall & Oates fan, Michael Selvidge originally built the hotline alongside Reid Butler with some simple IVR docs and a few lines of code. Callin’ Oates had the goal of answering questions like “Can you really rely on the old man’s money?” and “Are private eyes watching you?”

Over a million people called in to hear the dulcet tones of both Hall and Oates, and we’re pretty sure that having this helpline at the ready got at least one caller out of a sticky situation. Michael and Reid have now set up a few more emergency musical hotlines to satisfy your craving for anything from ‘80s synth pop to ‘60s – 70’s Americana. Sorry, ‘90s is just too current, you’ll have to wait a few more years for the Pearl Jam hotline.
