Here is the Dave Carroll United Breaks Guitars Song 2 video, lyrics and photos. The singer-songwriter and guitarist from Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada returns with a sequel to his viral video hit song and social media phenomena, confronting United Airlines and how the corporation failed to resolve and accept responsibility for breaking his Taylor guitar.
As spelled out so vividly in the original viral video which has had more than five million views on YouTube, Dave Caroll reveal the saga which ensued when he and his ECMA Award-winning band Sons of Maxwell flew to Nebraska for a gig in March 2008. He and his band were eyewitnesses via the window of his Taylor guitar, being thrown by United Airlines baggage handlers in Chicago.
Carroll had owned the guitar for more than 10 years and spent around $1,200 to have it repaired. United Airlines did not deny what happened, but neither did they compensate him for damages. The corporation had learned the hard way what happens when a customer’s legitimate complaint is not resolved. Hence the Dave Carroll United Breaks Guitars video in which through the vivid song he wrote, he brought his plight worldwide attention and demonstrated the power and effectiveness of social media.

Eventually, as the Toronto Star reported, and United confirmed via its Twitter, the company donated $3,000 to the Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz for music education for children, as Dave Carroll had requested the company make such a charitable donation.

“…a broken guitar, an imitation broken guitar, a 40 foot high scissor lift, a limousine (complete with Secret Service agents), one genuine imitation space capsule, a space suit, a tuba, 3 suits of German Lederhosen, a canoe, one white panel van and a woman willing to wear tights and a big dollar sign.”
