Summary

In 2017, Kyle Kelly-Yahner created a working phone number that plays Smashmouth's "All Star" when someone calls, as well as texts back the song's lyrics to anyone who texts. To achieve this, he used Twilio, a cloud communication platform, and created custom TwiML bins for both voice and text responses. The resulting "All Star" line was completed by simply saving the TwiML configurations and testing the number, which can be accessed at 830-476-5664.
