Guinness World Records™ had this to say about the application, "…your proposal for the record of Most cell phones ringing at the same time (with the same ring tone)… is a very interesting proposal… it is only a matter of minimums. Our Records Management Team is currently studying this point to see how many people would be needed to set a world record" – C. Martinez (Guinness World Records™ Adjudications Manager)

2009 marks the 30th Anniversary of "Hey, Hey Tampa Bay!" – The Original Bucs Fight Song, written by Jeff Arthur.  Arthur, also known as ‘King of the Jingle’, for his work on such jingles as, "Make It a Blockbuster Night" and Burger King’s "Original Home of the Whopper", wrote "Hey, Hey Tampa Bay!" back in 1979.  Arthur’s Original Bucs Fight Song took over the Tampa Bay airwaves that fall, and is now synonymous with the 1979 Tampa Bay Buccaneers and their NFC Championship Title.  Arthur is jokingly credited with teaching Tampa Bay how to spell Buccaneers.  B-U-C-C-A-N-E-E-R-S!  Those are the opening lyrics.

August 21, 2009, Arthur signed a license to allow the Buccaneers to play "Hey, Hey Tampa Bay!" at Raymond James Stadium during the ‘Throwback Game’ on November 8th.  A video with lyrics and nostalgic audio and images is posted on the official web site so fans can learn the lyrics and sing along at the stadium.  Fans are encouraged to download the full song for free and use it to create their own ‘Throwback Game’ video.  Video contests before and after the ‘Throwback Game’ give fans a chance to share their vintage ‘Orange and Whites’ - photos and videos from the past (1979) and the present (2009).

Champps Americana Restaurant and Bar at International Plaza hosts an official "Hey, Hey Tampa Bay!" party on October 25th at 1PM during the ‘Game across the Pond’ against the New England Patriots, being played in London.  Ferg’s Sports Bar in St. Pete hosts a pre-game party November 7, with contests and prizes from Bucs Heaven.  Coordinators have combined efforts with Tolley’s Hollywood Night at The Venue in Clearwater, to throw a post-game party following the ‘Throwback Game’ – November 8th at 5:30PM, to benefit the Lupus Foundation.  For details on these parties and others proposed at Bucs Heaven and a pre-game tailgate party at the stadium, see the official web site http://heyheytampabay.jeffarthur.com.

CD copies of the song with lyrics and instructions for downloading the ringtone may be made available at select partner businesses throughout the Tampa Bay area.  The idea is to drive traffic to partner businesses and allow everyone time to practice and be ready for the ‘Throwback Game’ and the Guinness World Record attempt on November 8th.  Official sponsors include, Myxer, Bright House Networks, Authentic Team Merchandise (Bucs Heaven), Champps Americana, Ferg’s Sports Bar and The Venue.  Businesses interested in becoming an official partner should contact: Shawn Bray at 727.637.1663.
