Somfy’s On-Hold Music is Stuck in My Head
CE Pro's Editor, Jason Knott discusses
SOMFY's on-hold phone music and
Somfy's twist on the classic 1960's song 'Sunny' as its on-hold phone music made me smile, and the song was stuck in my head all day. What do you use?
How do you make clients who call you feel OK about waiting on hold for a minute and give them information at the same time?
I think Somfy has figured it out. The company has a twist on the classic 1963 tune “Sunny” as its on-hold music. But instead of “Sunny,” it’s “Somfy” with some lyrics about its motorization.
Listen to this short 40-second audio clip I got recently while on hold. The lyrics don’t kick in until about the 20-second mark.

By the way, according to Wikipedia, BMI ranks “Sunny” as the “25th Greatest Song of the 20th Century.” It was written by Bobby Hebb in response to the assassination of John F. Kennedy in 1963. Here’s a nice video of Hebb performing the song if you want to get it stuck in your head further.

Review: HBO’s Behind The Candelabra is
Reduced to a National Enquirer Romp
by on June 3, 2013
This is the story of Liberace by one of the strange individuals the great showman let into his life. Everybody needs loving, but to have that much wealth, that much fame, that much power and be so unable to choose a quality companion means that the image his handlers protected so fiercely in the pianist’s heyday is reduced to a National Enquirer romp on HBO. And a romp it is as the legacy of Liberace should be all about his showmanship flair and self-deprecating humor; his solid body of work, his television show, the millions of people that he moved with his recordings and live performances, and not the innuendo . Liberace is to be treated as a true Hollywood star from that bygone era Myra Breckinridge perpetually longs for. A skilled craftsman whose flaws should be the asterisk (albeit obligatory) side-show, not he.
