Hold music suggestions needed. I now have music-on-hold on my home phone. What should we use for the music? This is just too cruel.

Yes, to the Little Red Monkey. No, to Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue. (And United can kiss my ass for making me listen to the same 5 minute loop for dozens of hours.)

wow... you guys are even crueler than I am.

No wonder why I like this place.

Of course once I pick something I'm going to have to resist putting everybody on hold for no reason. That'll be a battle.

You know, the Serge Gainsburgh / Jane Birkin "Je t'aime / Moi non plus" would make kinda awesome hold music.

I phoned the bank on Sunday. They had the theme tune to the x-files as hold music. It was quite worrying. I see my bank as a huge hidden conglomerate, full of conspiracies, bent on world domination anyway. I didn't need reminding of the fact.

Other bad choices

My choice... Rocket Man - Elton John.
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
Till touch down brings me round again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home
Oh no no no I'm a rocket man
Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone
