I buy and sell domains from time to time. I’ve been a GoDaddy customer for a long time. Most of my clients are GoDaddy customers as well. As such, I often have a need to call GoDaddy for support.
For at least a few years, the ONLY hold music seems to be the looping album, Hot by Squirrel Nut Zippers. I have been a SNZ fan for quite some time, so when I first heard it, I was happy about it and even when I’ve been on hold for over an hour (which was a rare once or twice), I didn’t mind listening at all. It’s a great album if you’re into that kind of music.
Today, I had to call again and in my short time on hold, I was able to listen to most of track 11, Blue Angel. It was just after I got off the phone that I began to wonder a few things:
1. Will there ever be anything else playing when on hold with GoDaddy? Not that I mind SNZ. You can keep playing that forever as far as I’m concerned.
2. Are the Squirrel Nut Zippers being payed handsomely for the past few years of hold time, or are they just appreciative of the free publicity and just enjoying it (as I hope they are)?
3. How about an autographed 8×10 of Candice Michelle mentioning how much she’s in love with Joe Tech? Hey. I have to try, right?
