Story Behind The Song
Went to a chanting meeting in the Chelsea Hotel in New York one New Years eve. Afterwards there were refreshments and everyone was anxiously talking about the guru showing up. However, he was on vacation in Palm Springs or somewhere in Arizona, and called from his cell phone fron the car. They all stood around the speakerphone and listened while he talked to them about his vacation for a few minutes.

Lyrics
He's a miracle guy who looks you in the eye,
and he knows exactly who you are.
You would know that I'm right if he was here tonight, but he's only calling from the car.
He's the top, he's a dream. In just a minute you'll see what I mean. 'Cause the Guru on the speakerphone's making the scene.
It'll help you unwind, and you're not gonna mind, 'cause he knows exactly what you think. Your resistance will slide, then you're down for the ride. Pour your hesitations down the sink.
And he knows all there is- and everything we want is truly his. Now the Guru's on the speakerphone, making it fizz.
(Bridge)
Gather 'round children , its time for his call- you need an invitation 'cause we're filling the hall. It's better to have him this way, than not to have him at all.
[Guitar riff]
And noone wants to leave the guru. His following is solidly built. Do you think that cows leave farmers when they wanna get milked?
[Guitar riff]
Its too good to be wrong. You better get you some before he's gone. And the Guru on the speakerphone's turning us on and on and on and on.
The Guru on the speakerphone
The Guru on the speakerphone
The Guru on the speakerphone
