...is a song whose signature line is "you can check out any time you like, but you can never leave" really the best choice for tech support hold music?

If you're on the line with your ISP, you probably don't want to hear "Every Move You Make" by The Police either.

...nor indeed if you're actually on the line with the actual police, for that matter.

Hotel California is such a good and, if you /really/ listen to the words, depressing song.

I ALWAYS listen to lyrics. If a song catches my attention, and listening closely isn't enough to decipher them, first thing I do is hunt for a lyrics sheet.

You want a creepy, disturbing song? Paul Simon's "Mother and Child Reunion".

I often find myself screaming at the hold music "If my call really WAS important to you, you'd ANSWER YOUR ******* TELEPHONE!"
