British Gas' hold music is an instrumental version of The Universal by Blur.
Absolutely cracking, was almost disappointed when I then had to talk to someone.
I guess this is a banal thread?

I guess it is
colour me suprised
they use that music on the ads as well yeah?
He's too posh to have a telly.
I have a massive telly.
I knew it was on their ads, was just a pleasant surprise to hear it over the phone too. It's a great piece of music.
How does that song go?
ba-da-da-da / ba-da-da-da-da-da
Oh hang on, i know now because of the adverts
The Sainsbury one used to be a few bars from Reach For The Sun by The Polyphonic Spree on a really short loop
Although I'm beginning to doubt that it's Sainsbos that I mean because I can't think why I would ever have reason to phone them.
It's definitely on their adverts.
(Or was, they now have Let's Go Fly a Kite from Mary Poppins).
That kite flying advert is wonderful
I have in the past mocked people who well up at adverts (especially John Lewis ones that are obviously designed for that) but that one almost had me. Only almost.
i do like their "live well for less" adverts
I thought the new JL ad (the girl in the past and the boy in the present) was pretty touching,
until I saw it for a fifth time in the same day.
it used to be the music on their adverts
maybe you'd left your debit card there? Or some shopping?
EDF are using A-ha's Take On Me.
(Thinly veiled I'm sorting out my bills).
I thought it was 'Together In Electric Dreams'
by Phil Oakey & Giorgio Moroder?
Not what I got.
They've used both on adverts recently.
I can only assume you were only on hold for a minute or two
I was on hold for the best part of half an hour a while ago and by the end I never wanted to hear any version of that song again. They have no other hold music, just that on a constant loop.
reminds me of this thread
