										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://20watts.files.wordpress.com/2009/05/mia-new.jpg" target="_blank"><img decoding="async" fetchpriority="high" class="photo_right" border="0" width="200" height="250" src="http://20watts.files.wordpress.com/2009/05/mia-new.jpg" alt="MIA lookin weird." /></a>When you get poppy hipsters upset, they&#8217;re bound to go all sorts of loco on your ass. Take MIA. She recently had a three-hour long customer support call with Verizon, which prompted her to write a new song, titled &#8220;I&#8217;m Down Like Your Internet Connection.&#8221; </p>
<p>The song is set to be part of MIA&#8217;s new album, <em>Kala</em> which will be out later this year. For part of the song, MIA got Filipino <a href="https://www.gadgetteaser.com/tag/verizon">Verizon</a> employees to sing the hook. &#8220;I was having issues with my cable and wireless, and I was on the phone [with tech support] for three hours, and I thought, ‘Maybe this needs to be part of my music, could you just learn these lyrics and sing it down the phone to me?'&#8221; she said. &#8220;Ten phone calls later, I have Internet that sticks and a song.&#8221;</p>
<p>Now you know Verizon. You&#8217;ve got some bad publicity in the form of a pop song and your customer support reps aren&#8217;t helping your cause. </p>
