Muzak Files For Bankruptcy

February 17, 2009 | ISSUE 45•08

With a debt load between $100 million and $500 million, Muzak Holdings LLC, the company whose name is synonymous with elevator and on-hold music, has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. What do you think?

But they had such great hits like 'Boring Saxophone' and 'Sleepy Piano.'

How could they fail? I've been tossing my spare change on the elevator floor for the past 20 years!

Some people might see this as a bad thing, but I think we're about to enter a new golden age of humming.
