Rules are simple:
What would be the weirdest song to hear while waiting for a call-center clerk to become available?
Put your answer in the comments. You can go weird: (Bela Lugosi is Dead) or ironic (like playing "Alive" as an in-flight movie), or whatever you like.
Bonus points if you include a link to a youtube clip of the song.
My first submission: not too out there or anything, but a great video: "Pick Up The Phone" by Notwist.

Don't be crass, NB. My grandmother reads this blog.
I apologize.
Anything from the late 1920s CBS days by Raymond Scott (like this - it's just too upbeat and strange to be 'on hold' music).
Matt:
About Three Days Grace - that's the first time I've ever heard anything by them. It's interesting to me since they went to my (very small town) high school (but were younger than me - I think my sister knew them).
so far grubstreehack is winning.
The weirdest thing I've ever actually, really heard was the wait music for Aliant highspeed internet tech support here in Canada. Sure it's the Maritimes, but that's no excuse for drunken fisherman songs, including The Night Paddy Murphy Died. It was a loop of four songs. The queue was so long I heard them all twice before my call was answered.
