Bad, Bad Choices for Hold Music...

[Raised_by_She-Wolf]

<font color="green">
[b]
Hello, peepers. I got this idea from a website (but I will not tell you the address so you can go on there, steal stuff, and pass it off as your own. You have to be a little creative here...).
The idea was from the Simpsons, where Homer supposedly loses Maggie (I've never seen the episode) and calls the Missing Children's Hotline, only to hear Ambrosia's "Baby, Come Back" playing as the hold music.
So, what song would be a very unwise choice to play as hold music for any given establishment?

For example (these came from the website)--

"All that She Wants is Another Baby" by Ace of Base for Crisis Pregnancy Center and/or an abortion clinic,

"Burning Down the House" by Talking Heads for the Pyromaniacs Support Group,

"Devil's Haircut" by Beck for a Beauty Parlor

"Every Breath You Take" by the Police for a Stalker Hotline

"Everybody Wants to Rule the World" by Tears for Fears for the White House

"Highway to Hell" by AC/DC for a church confession line

"Hit Me With Your Best Shot" by Pat Benatar for a Domestic Violence Hotline

"Like a Virgin" by Madonna for a Teen Pregnancy Helpline

"Money for Nothing" by Dire Straits for Dow Jones / NASDAQ

"Stand By Your Man" by Tammy Wynette for Spouse Abuse / Marriage Counseling service

"Smack My B**** Up" by Prodigy for NOW

"I Fall to Pieces" by Patsy Cline for a leoparsy colony

"You Got It" by Roy Orbitson for a disease diagnostic lab

...and here are a few I came up with:

"Billie Jean" by Michael Jackson for a Paternity Testing Clinic

"Life in One Day" by Howard Jones for a SIDS/Infant Mortality Parents' Support Service

"She Blinded Me With Science" by Thomas Dolby for 1-800-CONTACTS

"Disco Inferno" by the Bee Gees for Great White's pyrotechnician

"Rock the Casbah" by The Clash (Wink Wink, Falcon) for Saddam Hussein's mansion

"Devil Inside" by INXS for an exorcist service

and, of course...


"Ant Invasion/Ant Rap/Antmusic" by Adam and the Ants for Truly Nolen or Orkin

Can anyone else come up with a few?

What about that song:"you can keep your hat on" I dont remember the name of the song but it could be played at a nudist resort?

[wannabenaked2001]

"Margaritaville" by Jimmy Buffett, or "I Drink Alone" by George Thorogood for an AA help line.

"No Particular Place To Go" by George Thorogood for AAA.

"The Tide is High" by Blondie for Coast Guard Rescue. /infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

[Raised_by_She-Wolf]

Chucky,
"You Can Leave Your Hat On" was originally sung by either Joe Cocker or Tom Jones (I'm not sure). As you probably know, that's the one on all the Chippendales commercials. (Just a little tidbit of information to impress people at parties with /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif )

WannaBe, I love the AA ones. Those are always funny.

I came up with some more this morning...

"Bring Me to Life" by Evanescence for a cryogenics lab

"Why Do Fools Fall in Love?" by Diana Ross for a marriage counseling service

"It's a Man's World" by James Brown for NOW

"Flood" by Jars of Clay for the U.S. Coast Guard

"Leave Me Breathless" by the Corrs for a CPR Helpline

"Hungry Like a Wolf" by Duran Duran for Weight Watchers/Jenny Craig

"The Remedy" by Jason Mraz for Dr. Jack Kevorkian's Office

"Last Resort" by Papa Roach and "Suicide Solution" by Ozzy Osbourne for a Suicide Prevention Hotline

"Footloose" by Kenny Loggins for the Paralyzed Veterans of America

"Everything She Wants" by WHAM! (George Michael) for a Debt-Free Financial Counseling Hotline

"The Reflex" by Duran Duran for a Parkinson's/Epilepsy/Tourrette's Support Line

and of course,

"Goody Two Shoes" by Adam Ant for a liquor store/smoke shop

These two fall into the "cute hold music" catergory--

"Take Me Home Tonight" by Eddie Money for a child/pet adoption agency (Especially the line "Be my little baby" /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif )

"Wishlist" by Pearl Jam for the Make-a-Wish foundation

Ok, ok, I changed my mind. Here's the website...

Oh, and I almost forgot...

For a nudist resort, what if they played The Austin Powers Theme as onhold music? Let's just hope Mark Foley never calls if that's the case!! /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[S.M.A.]

Okay, how about "I Just Died In Your Arms Tonight" by Cutting Crew for 911? /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

As for your "You Can Leave Your Hat On" query, it was recorded by Joe Cocker sometime in the early 80's.

Good one, S.M.A. Either 911, or on a hospital ICU phone!

How about "Broken Wings" by Mr. Mister for a plastic flower factory?

[Raised_by_She-Wolf]

<font color="green">
[b]
That didn't even make any sense, She-Wolf Returns! "Broken Wings" for a plastic flower factory? Maybe you should get back into your cage where you belong! /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

"Broken Wings" would be better with an airline company.

[S.M.A.]

How about The Rolling Stones' "Brown Sugar" for the National Council for Diabetes Research?

Or maybe The Doors' "Touch Me" for The National Leprosy Association?

[wannabenaked2001]

"Highway to Hell" by AC-DC for an abortion clinic?

[S.M.A.]

I just love this forum. Anyway, here's a few more:

The Ramones' "Now I Wanna Sniff Some Glue" for a substance abuse hotline

Jackson Browne's "Doctor My Eyes" for Lasak Eye Surgery

Greg Kihn's "Jeopardy" for the "Wheel of Fortune" ticket office

Danzig's "Mother" for a missing child hotline, or anything else about children, for that matter

[S.M.A.]

Okay, here's a good one. Pink Floyd's "Us & Them" for the Rainbow/PUSH Coalition.

Whoa, has anybody seen she_wolf lately? Did she head to Germany already, or is she sick or what? I'm not being obsessive, I just like her commentary.

[Nude\'n\'happy]

How about - Take My Breath Away by Berlin for a CPR training office.

[Jochanaan]

And here are a few more, some showing my more classical nature:

"Take the A Train" for an airline.

"Light My Fire" for the National Forest Service.

"Peace Train" for the Pentagon.

I'm guessing Raised by She-Wolf left because she was getting tired of the forum, and decided that there were more important, substantial things to life than convincing the government that we should run around naked. And, to the person she's blocked from her MSN contact list (you know who you are), PM me and I'll tell you why.

Or, She-Wolf could be dead. Who knows?

"Die, Die, Die, My Darling" by Metallica for She-Wolf's answering machine.

Do not listen to Ms. Returns here!!!
RBSW (that would be me) is alive, functioning, and able to use the penitentiary's computer lab for one hour a day!! /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif
As for this very bad mutt, Ms. Returns, I assure you that she is now fully stripped.....


....of her fur and frying somewhere in a Mongolian restaurant!

But seriously, the above post occured when I was in an analytical and rotten mood, mostly being bombarded with my transition from high school and all that crap about moving out and starting college. One particular gentleman, who went by the name of "Spandau" on the Naturist chat room (I guess he liked their Ballet!) kept bugging me on my MSN IM about whether or not I had "done the deed."
I couldn't care less about nakedism at the time, so I blocked him from my list. Now I feel badly.

Hopefully, this won't happen again.

Hey there, hw, Promie, Bob S., and the horrible, wrethced Mrs. Bates! /infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

Welcome back, we've missed you! /infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

How're things going with your sister?

Welcome back RBSW! /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif How's every little thing going with you? Check in to the "Hotel California" once in awhile so we don't have to send out a search party for you. I was afraid Mrs. Bates/Norman may have been up to something again! /infopop/emoticons/icon_eek.gif
Now there's a hold song for you... "Hotel California" for the Bates Motel! /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

RBSW...Fun topic...I must have been on vacation the first time around..Welcome back...How about "When I'm calling you oou oouu oou ouuuu by Nelson Eddy and Jeanette McDonald for the phone company...Or maybe ..."One ringy dingy,two ringy dingy....Is this the party to whom Im speaking" ....comedy routine classic by Lily Tomlin /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif ...Outdoorbare

Things are still pretty crappy. My mother is remarrying in October after 9 years of hanging out to dry. I'm happy for her, but I'm also pretty sad because that results in my demotion as a "surrogate parent"--it seems like I'll be losing my status, and I won't be important anymore. /infopop/emoticons/icon_frown.gif

Does anyone need to hire a nanny? Call me! /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

Here's a new one: Foreigner's "Urgent" for Procrastinator's Anonymous.

Raised_by_She-Wolf, While your mother may at first seem to show more attention to her new guy, you must remember that the human "heart" is capable of loving many people at the same time and at different levels of intensity. Usually a mothers' love continues to grow when it comes to her children. A new guy in the picture won't change the intensity of your mothers' love toward you. You may feel that you lose a certain amount of "status", but you will not become unimportant to your mother. My advice, for what it's worth, is to stay involved in your family and, as tarus stated, give the guy a chance. No one can take your place in your mothers' "heart".
