民謠歌手Dave Carroll將其搭乘航空遭遇的事件寫成的抗議歌曲，事件檔案大略如下：

某天Dave乘坐美國聯合航空前往芝加哥的班機
於行李區寄艙時目睹行李員亂丟他裝有手工吉他的袋子
當場投訴不被理會，抵達芝加哥後收回行李發現吉他果然壞了，申訴索償不受理
於是他就用了自己最擅長的方式為自己討回公道：寫歌諷刺他們
於是這首「United Breaks Guitars」就此誕生
自彈自唱並拍成MV登上Youtube，點選率數月內衝過百萬
至今已累積到千萬，幾月間聯合航空聲譽大損，股價一度急跌


除了這首之外，後續好像還有陸續產出許多跟聯邦航空有關的曲子Part 2　Part 3
某層面來看，Dave能一夕爆紅，也得虧聯邦航空弄壞了他的吉他=w=(塞翁失馬)
觀察了一下留言，並回顧前幾個月前美國爆出行李檢查員集體監守自盜的新聞
幾年過去了，美國局部性的航空水平，似乎跟咱們的桃園機場一樣沒啥增長...

歌詞
I flew United Airlines on my way to Nebraska
The plane departed, Halifax, connecting in Chicago's "O'Hare".
While on the ground, a passenger said from the seat behind me,
"My God, they're throwing guitars out there"

The band and I exchanged a look, best described as terror
At the action on the tarmac, and knowing whose projectiles these would be
So before I left Chicago, I alerted three employees
Who showed complete indifference towards me

United... (United...)
You broke my Taylor Guitar
United... (United...)
Some big help you are

You broke it, you should fix it
You're liable, just admit it
I should've flown with someone else
Or gone by car

Cause United breaks guitars.

When we landed in Nebraska, I confirmed what I'd suspected
My Taylor'd been the victim of a vicious act of malice at O'Hare
So began a year long saga, of "Pass the buck", "Don't ask me", and "I'm sorry, sir, your claim can go no where".
So to all the airlines people, from New York to New Deli
Including kind Ms. Irlweg, who says the final word from them is "no".

I heard all your excuses,
And I've chased your wild gooses
And this attitude of yours, I say, must go

United... (United...)
You broke my Taylor Guitar
United... (United...)
Some big help you are

You broke it, you should fix it
You're liable, just admit it
I should've flown with someone else
Or gone by car

Cause United breaks guitars.

Well, I won't say that I'll never fly with you again,
Cause, maybe, to save the world, I probably would,
But that won't likely happen,
And if it did, I wouldn't bring my luggage
Cause you'd just go and break it,
Into a thousand pieces,
Just like you broke my heart

When United breaks guitars.

United... (United...)
You broke my Taylor Guitar
United... (United...)
Some big help you are

You broke it, you should fix it
You're liable, just admit it
I should've flown with someone else
Or gone by car

Cause United breaks guitars.
Yeah, United breaks guitars.
Yeah, United breaks guitars.
