This feels like a leftover song from the 90s

Nice try. It took all the 90s to make this dish. That’s what make it so tasty

This is my hospitals hold tone 😂

This is the entree sir! The audacity! Get out!!!

Wow. Just wow. You tapped into a place I didn’t know I had hidden!!!

What is the actual name of this song?

Here's an article about the track:

This American Life did a piece too I think

The man himself Tim Carrollton copy strikes the linked YouTube video in the article as if we all were dying to sit and listen to it

Opus No.1 by Tim Carleton spotify link

What an absolute banger😻

It is, I’m not american so I never heard it before but now I wish it was a hold line in my country too

Check Noctilucent by Eco Virtual. Amazing wave of this song.

This is too funny

The song btw

sounds so weird being able to actually hear the rest of the music. usually its this fucking horrid noisy garbage I'm stuck listening to while on hold for 5 hours

Saved your comment for the info 👌🏻

It’s so sad I’ve heard this before 😂

This one is probably much more related to Canada (and hated even more, since you have to listen to it for up to 6 hours straight about once a year every year)

I call shenanigans, I’m Canadian and I’ve never heard this one lol… who’s playing this when you’re on hold?

CRA

Never called them. Checks out

Usually it’s recorded in a beat up trash can with Oscar from Sesame Street sliding his dick as the record needle

PTSD

I immediately went into Karen mode upon hearing this

This is the default Cisco (phone system) hold music. It's got an interesting story.

Brain x-ray via phone

I’m about to leave my career of b2b sales that I’ve been doing for almost 10 years.

I have heard all of the hold music there is.

I fucking still love this track.. and this video, is so damn funny

Ah the ol’ 90’s Jean Claude Van Damme music that plays when he’s contemplating his life and how he’s going to kick his way out of his current predicament while doing the splits on two rickety old chairs.

Omg...lmao thank you for this one...I was such a huge fan of his growing up, and now looking back...yeah it was this or an 80’s singer straining so hard to hit the high notes ...and when they hit the high notes, he was getting maximum splits... lol

Yup! Huge Bloodsport train ride life reflection energy!

Fight to surviiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVE lol eh I tried to hit the high notes

KOO MUH TAY KOO MIH TAY!

Sounds like something from Donkey Kong Country

Except it doesn’t sound this high quality it’s more like the song playing on a Nintendo DS

There are at least four companies I call ever month that is this hold music. It's a banger.

Every one is asking for the song, I just wanna know the origin of this video I've looked for "black singers in puffy jackets" and found nothing

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4rCPbgiZvGM theyre dancing at the very end of the video

You've brought me joy at the end of a bad day, thank you

happy to help

I’ve waited a third of my life to this song

This song makes my stomach hurt.

Oh wow, so many companies and organisations in Australia use this too

I'm in Australia and can confirm we have it here also. I've heard it afew times on hold w the doctor. Defs a jam

I write lyrics to it when I have long waits

Gawwd this song hurts my soul

this is a certified "wait" classic

I once got told I have to call a number by my work to report my sickness symptoms and they put me on hold for 40 minutes after which they told me to hang up so they can call me later and they never did.

https://youtu.be/tCIQ4N6HXYQ

This guy is musical genius

“Excuse me but, can you put me back on hold?”

The video quality here matches the audio quality when you hear this song irl. Can we get a version where the video quality and audio quality sync up?

u/savevideo

Never heard it so clearly.

LOL my company uses this exact track on their phone system

I wish I could upvote this more

When you realise it loops. I've been here for 7 minutes.

Oh my mystic caves

Former automotive collision parts manager, and can confirm, this was the jam when I was on hold. Literally burned into my brain.

Their dancing makes me laugh

I straight up have spent so much time on hold hearing this song, I would turn it up and legit grove to keep my sanity.

I knew what it was gonna be before it played 😭

This will never get old. Always gets my upvote

u/savevideobot

I want to know if the Derrick and Tim make money off this every time it plays or how?

They don't. Or at least tim doesn't. He was interviewed and said he hasn't gotten a penny from it.

Bravo! Made my night 😂

Welcome to Telstra

Ngl I actually start vibing on this

No way I'm gonna be able to keep myself from freestyle rapping every time I hear this hold music again after seeing this clip. Going to be interesting when the reps finally come on the line for sure.

This resonates deeply with me

I work in government and have to spend a lot of time on hold to other government agencies.

I probably hear this music for 30-90 minutes per day.

It makes me feel like I'm watching an inspirational Olympic training montage from the early 90s.

Bahahahha y'all too much for this one!

Hurry up Centrelink, I'm trying to live in a mansion and smoke weed while eating salmon everyday.

This is the disability social security wait line call in my area. As someone on disability who has spent too much time going chachacha chachacha on hold around my house …it still slaps

Isn’t that the Centrelink hold music

Reply All did a great recurring bit about hold music back when it was a listenable show

What is the actual music video from?

Fuckin Cisco call manager default ‘Music on hold’.

I know this. It’s what I do. Ffs

Was so sick of it I took an E&M card and piped the radio on the network via multicast. Used that instead.

AT&T’s 911 repair hold music is this, I jam out all the time waiting for them.

There’s a version of I am the sun that plays a lot too on hold lines lol

This beat is fire…

About 12 years ago, I was managing a Cisco VoIP system and my boss told me to change the default hold music (this song). I changed it to some classical music and the next half of our callers complained that the music was changed and the old music was better.

Lets goooo

The amount of stress I felt when I unmuted just jumped drastically.

I really hate that hold track, after hearing it so much
