derail:
A friend of mine hates excel files. If he ever gets one, he opens it with a soundapp that opens any file as a soundfile. Result is of course pure noise. He saves it as mp3, and posts it as reply. That'll teach them excel-sending bastards!

Since this is a retread, I guess it's worth mentioning a similar site (which also may have previously been featured on here), Songfight. Similar idea, except all of the songs are user-submitted and then voted upon.

When I read the description, I thought he would make songs out of the actual text of e-mails and not just e-mailed song requests.

Personally, I'd love to hear "I AM MARIAM ABACHA, WIDOW OF THE LATE NIGERIAN HEAD OF STATE, GEN. SANI ABACHA. AFTER HE DEATH OF MY HUSBAND WHO DIED MYSTERIOUSLY AS A RESULT OF CARDIAC ARREST, I WAS INFORMED BY OUR LAWYER, BELLO GAMBARI THAT, MY HUSBAND WHO AT THAT TIME WAS THE PRESIDENT OF NIGERIA, CALLED HIM AND CONDUCTED HIM ROUND HIS APARTMENT AND SHOWED HIM FOUR METAL BOXES CONTAINING MONEY ALL IN FOREIGN EXCHANGE AND HE EQUALLY MADE HIM BELIEVE THAT THOSE BOXES ARE FOR ONWARD TRANSFER TO HIS OVERSEAS COUNTERPART FOR PERSONAL INVESTMENT." set to music.
