Getting off the phone

Whenever persons say good-bye on the phone, there is no simple "bye" or even "talk to ya later, bye," rather they say, "bye-bye-bye-bye..." It's actually rather cute. The voice pitch goes up a bit and becomes sort of sing-songy. Each person is saying this simultaneous with the other, but slightly at an alternating beat, sort of like in a round or echo, and the voice sort of trails off as the phone is being hung up.

At first I found it a bit strange, but then I found myself doing it too...
