Other suggestions:

*     Greensleaves.
*     Vivaldi's "The Four Seasons"
*     A five-minute loop of Hits'n'Memories radio.
*     A voice saying "your data file is important to us", intermingled with
      a bunch of annoying ads trumpeting the virtues of Gnumatic, Inc
*     Abba's "Money, Money, Money".
*     For those with slightly more taste, "Money" by Pink Floyd.

and, finally. . . .

*     RMS's "Free The Software" song

Patches for any/all of the above will be considered by Dave for at
least five milliseconds :)
