Who Belongs to This Song?

A couple of weeks ago, an apparent leaked track from the new Postal Service album made the rounds among the major music blogs. If you missed it, here it be: The Importance of Being

Then, yesterday, MTV News posted an article in which Postal Serviceman Jimmy Tamborello states the song "has nothing to do with me or Ben," and was probably an elaborate stunt by LA duo Northern Two to promote their own forthcoming album. AND THEN, those guys denied it as well.

Now that the mystery is starting to brew about, I can finally reveal the truth: I made the song. Yes, the Postal Service tag was a hoax to spread it like Mad Cow. For some reason, the comments left on blogs about Northern Two was also intended to further expose the song; it seemed like a good second step on paper. Finally, the climax of popularity, a mention on the MTV News site, the twelfth most popular in the land. Yes, I am the song's daddy. Please forward money to my paypal account.
