Singing telegrams are a fun and personalized way to send a message. Services offer singers, dancers or reciters dressed in costumes to deliver messages with balloons or flowers. The first singing telegram was sent in 1933 by Western Union’s George P. Oslin.
Singing Telegrams is a hilarious way to send a message that’s so much more fun than sending a fax, email, instant message, or greeting card. The services that provide these telegrams will be happy to send someone to sing, dance or recite your message to the recipient. They’ll dress up to do it, too, in anything from a tuxedo and top hat to a gorilla suit!
Sung telegrams spread cheer by bringing laughter in the workplace, at home, in public or at parties. You can hire “Marilyn Monroe” to sing Happy Birthday to your boss or “Elvis” to sing All Shook Up to your wife on your 10th anniversary! Let her know that you still find her sexy in a creative and fun way! Is a friend feeling a little down after a breakup? Invite her over for coffee at your favorite java hut at a prearranged time. Can you imagine her reaction when a man walks in, stops, takes a second look at her and starts singing along!
Singing Telegrams can be a blast, especially when personalized. You can write the words yourself, usually changing the lyrics to a famous song. Want to congratulate someone who already thinks they’re a bad boy on a promotion? Having “Eminem” rap lyrics you wrote about how cool this guy is. Singing telegrams makes everyone laugh at themselves and at each other. After all, no one looks as ridiculous as the person singing!
Depending on the service, singing telegrams may be delivered a capella or with a portable CD player for accompaniment. Each service has its own staff and options, so choose a service that can deliver the telegram you have in mind, or ask the service for their most successful or funniest singing telegrams. Many services also offer balloons, flowers or other gifts to include in your telegram.
Western Union public relations director George P. Oslin is credited with thinking up and sending the first singing telegram. Ironically, it was during the Great Depression in July 1933 that Oslin got operator Lucille Lipps to sing Happy Birthday to Rudy Vallee. Many current celebrities have also received singing telegrams, including Diane Sawyer, Drew Barrymore, Penny Marshall and Colin Farrell.
