Going with the theme of the week, I searched for the most common song title ever. Luckily someone else had done the research and found that the most popular song title on Billboard since 1970 was 'Hold On'. Wanted to go somewhat rock-a-billy country like the old country radio station me and Mitchell liked so much that eventually became Que Pasa Radio. (Darn It!)
lyrics
Well, the telephone rang
So I picked it up and said 'Hello'
And they asked if they could speak
To the medicine man on the side of the road
Said they needed a remedy
They said the long cold night had taken its toll
And it wasn't lookin good
They needed to speak to the medicine man
I told 'em they surely could
I said please hold on
CHORUS
Hold on for a moment
I'll see what I can do
Just wait right there and I'll be right back
Shouldn't be a moment or two
Please hold for me and I'll do my best to help you
I need a repair man
To fix that broken microwave
Went to the phone and called
A lady picked up the phone on the opposite end
I could hear the beaufont & Pall Mall
She didn't say the name of the company
No 'Hello' or 'How do you do?'
She only said one thing and it was loud and clear
What she wanted me to do
She said 'Please, hold on'
CHORUS
SOLO
I hear a telephone ring
The guy picked it up and said hello
Said he wasn't doin' nothin' at all
That's all it took for the people in the cinema
To quickly interrupt his call
They said look here man we're watchin a movie
And you can't be on the phone
Well he stood right up and headed for the door
And I could hear a kinda' sour tone
As he said 'Hold On'
CHORUS
Don't go anywhere and we'll be right back to you
Hold on - Hold on a moment or two
