Overclocker's hold music!

Pawnless Endgame · 15 Sep 2006 at 12:37

I got to say that this is the best hold music I've ever heard! This is for OcUK technical support on 0871 2228528. While I was on hold yesterday, I heard most of one track and then about half of the next track. They both maintained a percussive style.

Any idea what the tracklisting is? :-)

Thanks.

Cue everyone calling OCUK to try to 'Guess That Tune'

What happens if you get through to tech? - would you ask them or just say, ummm sorry can you put me back on hold please ? - first time I bet someone would ask that

Although I don't believe in it, there is that Shazam thing 2580 (mobile phone) it then texts you what the music was... I tried it once, and it never replied to me

Shazam is awesome, it's great how well it works. Its a fair penny if it's successful, but worth it if you really want to find the name of a tune. I even used it for a pub quiz the other day and it correctly guessed some Wham! song. We didn't win though, were merely seeing whether it'd work.

Nah we used to do it all the time when I worked at an estate agents, we would get bored and then play "who can find the best hold music".

Also another fun game was getting two speaker phones, placing them next to each other, call the someone like and undertakers on one phone and the morgue on the other (kinda like that thing Scott mills does now on Radio1).

also who can forget vacumm cleaner basketball!

done something similar,my mate phoned up vodafone to top up and my mate said they had nice muisc,cue me phoning them and an operator picked up. i asked them if they can just play the song to me and surprisingly they did! :eek:

Jesta, that was just unlucky getting straight through to an operator on Vodefone, although it was real nice that she played it for you :-)

The music for Toshiba technical is quite nice too, although I'm not normally on hold for more than 1 minute.

Acer had a classic R&B one called "Loving You" off www.freeplaymusic.com (thanks to you guys for identifying it!), although Acer have changed it to a synthy string number now.
