If I wrote a song for everytime an airline messed up...

I might have enough to make a Greatest Hits album.

But I never wrote a song, and now Dave Carroll has beat me to it.

Carroll is a musician from the East Coast whose 16-year music career has never seen him have a hit. That's okay. But when his guitar was seriously damaged after a recent flight on United Airlines, and they refused to foot the $1200 repair bill, Carroll wrote a song about it. He is arguably the hottest thing on youtube since that kid David had his social life ruined when his dad posted a video of the boy flying high as a kite after a trip to the dentist.

"United Breaks Guitars" has racked up more than 3 million views in the last couple weeks. It's probably costing United's PR department a teensy bit more than $1200 to repair the damages to their image.
