I had a scream.
Email isn't the only way the Dean Scream is being co-opted and distributed. Seth is right that the mixes were "passed from person to person, with no help from Yahoo or Google," but for many of us, the method transmission was our aggregators and blogrolls, not email.
I had listened to three of these mixes by early afternoon -- all of them linked on weblogs. (Song files are still a whit too large to pass freely to friends via email.)
Here are just a few of the Dean Scream mix posts that ended up in front of my eyeballs via the blogosphere:
- Doc Searls
- Big Rick
- Lileks.com (actual song file)
- Cory Doctorow
- Ben Hammersley
- Jonathan Barlow
- Jim Treacher
- Jason Schultz
- Derek Slater
UPDATE:
Add this mix to the list -- it's potentially the catchiest one so far: (Thanks, Rick.)

Thank you for reminding me to add a link to Dean-liverance!
Has anybody noticed the similarities between Dean's primal scream and that of Steve "Monkey Boy" Ballmer?

I got Dean Remix fever and had to do one of my own:
