'Hold' music, something that is going to be played CONSTANTLY, over and over is often written specifically for a corporation, and all the rights waived by the writer so the corporation doesn't have to constantly pay mechanical and other rights.

'Make it sound a bit like such and such' is often all the writer gets, he'll do something quickly, and that's the last you ever hear of it...


Diki….I’m going to go with what you said here. The more I think about it, I would guess that’s exactly how the song came to be. It’s not that complicated a song, but it moves through some nice chord changes enough to keep the listener glued to it. I would have to agree that someone must have written it years ago looking for some quick pocket change, and then sold the rights to it. From there CVS, Best Buy, Staples and who knows who else have been using the song. Talk about no justice…the composer could have been living on Easy Street if he had been able to retain the royalty rights. As I understand it, that song has been the “music of choice” for a lot of stores now and CVS, for one, said they’re going to continue using it.

When I get some time, I’ll just write out the notes from the WAV file.
