What qualifies as good elevator music?

[Carson Dyle]

In most cases, particularly for music on hold - lack of copyright.

And strictly speaking, I suppose that's not true. The music may still be copyrighted, but it's typically royalty free.

Basically: cheap, generic sounding (has to be, to keep from infringing on the copyrights of any known works) music.

Anyone else ever ask themselves what the purpose of "elevator music " is and why that particular style of music is seemingly accepted as the best solution?

If I had my own penthouse I would demand they play this in the elevator. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T2GrMD8gJqo

I got put on hold with a plumber and they played the Super Mario Bros. theme song.

Elevating music... something along the veins of Eminem perhaps.

Do a search for royalty free music and get back to us.

Usually music on hold is not royalty free.

LOL! That would be hilarious!

What was it? It says "Not Available" when I try to play it.

The latest OCRemix I saw uploaded was an awesome trip hop mix from that game.

Oh, and having the ROM is not a point of pride. The cart was $10 new for years. ANY self respecting Nintendo/Rare fan has at least one copy!
