I called the 800 number because I had a problem with canned biscuits popping open in the refrigerator, and I heard Jo Stafford's "You Belong to Me". That one hasn't even been on America's Best Music! WAVO Charlotte NC plays it, I believe, though listeners contribute to that station, mainly for the music royalties.
I asked where the music came from and was put on hold again. What I heard sounded like those cartoons with the funny animals that danced and did crazy things. This one, for example:

No one knew the answer, but that's pretty amazing. This is music that supposedly no one likes under the age of 70, but then when you get put on hold they're expecting you to stay around and they don't always make it pleasant. Certainly there's no advertiser support involved, though they could advertise Pillsbury products while you're waiting.
