    If I hear this, I will happily wait on hold for 4 minutes.

    Use this hold music when you get a telemarketer calling you.

    The hold music for Harvey Norman is my favourite - it's a hilarious extended mix of the "Go Harvey Go!" song from the ads :D

    In an old job, I'd often have to ring one particular insurance company (I sadly forget which one!) whose hold music was an Anuna-style track that was interrupted at around eight-second intervals by a voiceover saying things like "Did you know X, Y or Z about us?"

    Unfortunately the track didn't continue after each voiceover, but returned to the beginning. So I'd get the same eight seconds of chanting over and over again every time I was put on hold. That was five years ago and I still remember the tune so clearly!

    Used to have to ring up HP for client machines, the usual droll music would put me to sleep

    One day I got onto one Asian HP rep who was obsessed with Ireland, kept asking me questions about the place, asked if I liked The Doors and then put LA Woman on as hold music :pac:
