Upload the song on Youtube and post the link, someone will be able to recognise it, or play it on their Iphone and tell you.

What a cumbersome thread this is! It's like trying to herd a pack of sheep into a cow pen.

I had to look up in the english dictionary to figure out what you really did say here cassp.
Why can't everybody learn to post in Norwegian, it's not that hard, is it?

Sorry, Jonny. Come to think of it, it didn't make much sense to me when I read it either.

Hey,

This is worse than OS4 I don't know which I want first now this tune or OS4, I think OS4 might come first. Here in the UK if you call 999 for the Police and at the same time order a Pizza the Pizza will come first. Just Hum it.

Tony, when you call the police, tell them you've got a hot pizza on the way; the police will get there first. Guaranteed.

I just sent the song to Nigel. If none of you recognize it, that's the end of the line for me.

I called every corporate office connected to this tune, including Muzak. Everyone was very polite and helpful to me when I told them I was a professional musician wanting to perform the song.

What I found was "hold" music is piped in separately from "background" music. This song was on the CVS "hold" menu for quite a few years. The person who originally programmed it to play is no longer there, so it just carried over from year to year. No one knows anything at all about the song other than that it is presently still being used. Also, someone said "hold" music is public domain and no royalty checks are issued, so that's another dead end.

If no one knows it here, then that's the end of it. I'll have to take the time to write out a transcription...not that difficult but it will take time.

BTW...in my travels, CVS and Staples both told me there have been many inquiries over the years about the name of the song. It's seems to have "grown" on a lot of other people too.

At least you don't pass out 'cause of starvation while waiting.
Here a salesperson would show up first, either by phone or at your door to try sell
you an alarm or foodprosessor.
