One of the first songs produced was "Breaking Up Is Hard On You (a/k/a Don't Take Ma Bell Away from Me)", about the lawsuit and the resulting Bell System divestiture, the court ordered split up of U.S. telecommunications company AT&T's Bell System. The song was a parody of Neil Sedaka's #1, 1962 hit "Breaking Up Is Hard to Do". It reached #70 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and spent five weeks on the chart. This was the only song by the group to make the chart.
