yeah! that's what i said! lol

i had called whole foods (didn't really want to but was looking for a sugar-free cake for my mom's bday), and was surprised to hear the smiths. i kinda was hoping to stay on hold for a bit longer haha

I'd go with impressed as hell ... it's always a cool feeling to hear a good tune when you least expect it ... in a store, on a commercial ... I don't know why, but, I get such a charge out of it.

I heard the Buzzcocks once on hold ... I was *this* close to asking the lady to put me back on hold so I could finish the tune, but it was the cable company and they used to make me wait enough as it was.

i don't know much of their stuff either, just a couple tunes. that happened to be my favorite of theirs

really sugar free, or at least sweetened with natural juices. fake sugar is nasty!

certain sugars should only be used for certain things..take splenda for instance - it tastes great in foods and baking however sweet n low is horrible in foods and baking....

small town beck

LOL I love the irony of waiting on hold to 'how soon is now?'

Great song too

I guess if companies didn't want people to wait they could put on shite music.. if I was on hold and Celine Dion was playing I would probably hang up :eek:

sennin

At the last place I worked I was asked to provide an on-hold song.

I chose "Hold On", by Eddie Vedder and the Pearl Jam Five.

I wonder if that's still the music....I should call.

hands yes that's a good point about the baking fake sugar stuff! we might just end up getting a regular cake, it's for my mom's bday and she's a diabetic but she can have a little slice and still be okay

true smalltown, if it was celine i'd burn the phone lol

and very cool sennin
