Name that tune!
So I’ve spent some time on hold with the IRS recently. (I do our taxes myself, so this is a common occurrence, especially when calling at this time of year.) Every year I wonder the same thing: What the heck IS the name of that song they play for the hold music? You know, the waltz?
I know it’s something obvious, but this has been driving me nuts for years so humor me with this only-marginally-money-related post.
Is it:
A. Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies
B. Waltz of the Flowers
C. Eine Kleine Nachtmusik
or something else?

Oh man that song is SO friggin loud too! For some reason my office phone won’t go down any lower so I’m forced to hold the phone slightly away from my ear for 10-15 minutes while on hold. I don’t have speakerphone (they give the contractors the old phones) and I share an office so I couldn’t use it anyway. It makes it difficult to do work when I can only use one hand.
Change the song and volume already!

I believe it is Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies – from the Nutcracker.
Although, I am not an expert at classical music – have heard it way too often. :-)
