I occasionally trawl for new depths in music-on-hold torture material, and I
think the Smurfs singing "Staying Alive" and "Boombastic" in Finnish is
going to take some beating.

I was once put on hold by a tech company that played me the theme tune
from the original 1970's cult UK low-budget kids sci-fi show 'The
Tomorrow People'. That was rather unexpected, but in a good way.

But I'll see your smurfs and raise you a Leonard Nimoy destroying 'Love
of the Common People'.

The really scary bit is that they made at least
*nine* CDs of this stuff.

There is a reason Finland has one of the highest suicide rates in the
world. It's usually thought this is due to the climate, the strange
seasons or the vodka. But it's the Smurfs?
