“That is Jazz Fusion sir!”

Dear Readers: If you are seeing this post, Glibertarians is in dire straits. New posts are needed. I wrote this post while on hold with Verizon. The story is true.

Back when I basically did everything at the company which employs me, we had to roll out a new phone system. Part of this implementation was to get new ‘On Hold’ music to entertain our customers as they waited. Sadly, we were only given seven options instead of allowing me and my friend E. to go nuts and assign something like this relaxing ditty. E. chose an upbeat funk beat, out of the options. We implemented the system with no issues.

Two weeks later at a company meeting, the president asked us how things were going with the new phone system, and one of the call center staff stood up and said:

“I MUST say something about the new on-hold music on our phone system. It is PORNOGRAPHIC soundtrack music! Our customer deserve better than this… PORNO BEAT!”

E. was horrified. This was one of seven standard choices for music offered by the phone company, it was hardly porno. Also he liked the music. As the company president stared at the call center employee, eyes wide, still trying to come up with words to address this concern, I saw E. shoot up out of his chair.

“It’s not PORNO MUSIC! It’s JAZZ FUSION!”

A legend was born. For the record, the music E. picked was very close to this track. So what do you think? Is it porno music? Or Jazz Fusion?

I still think the best on hold music ever is Summer Samba. Fight me in the comments below! Let’s have an elevator music war! And for Pete’s sake, write some posts!
