In this show Dave mentioned the alert sound on his phone came after a particular song, and mentioned the lyrics "The telephone keeps ringing, so I ripped it off the wall".
This song has, for those who may not be aware, other hacker links.

Its from the song "Much Worse" by the band 'Big Audio Dynamite' (a band with interesting origins itself)

The song is actually a b-side but is best known for being used as the intro tune for the show "Off The Hook" on radio station WBAI in New York, which is itself run by Emmanuel Goldstein and others associated with the 2600 hacker quarterly magazine, whose history is also long and rich.

Emmanuel's name of course being a pen name with an obvious source to those who read.
