Amy’s Review of the Transfer Bomb Song
You know something……..music doesn’t have to be sophisticated to be music. It’s ironic how the dumbest songs you’ve ever heard stay with you the longest. Several years ago, I worked in a call center fixing problems on home owners insurance policies. We worked in teams of twelve employees generally—and one side of our individual desks/cubical was connected to another teammates desk/cubical. My desk was conjoined with an individual who hated his job. Hated it so much that he decided that he was going to make it his goal to get fired.
So…..when he took a phone call……he would sing to the clients on the phone. There was no, “Hello, how may I help you.” Instead, he sang a crazy jingle…..and it went like this……”transfer bomb, jumping on your head, dancing on your face, man your out of place.” Then he would say…..”Please hold.” Then……he would hit random numbers on the phone and would transfer the caller out. And then finally one day, he accidentally blind transferred a caller to the CEO. That was the end of the Transfer Bomb Song, but it was legendary in the department—and being that I was the desk-mate of this person…….employees would walk past my desk at random just to say two words………”transfer bomb.”
To this day if you were to ask me whats the stupidest song I know—-I would have to say, “Transfer Bomb Song.” I think we each know someone that we would love to use that Transfer Bomb Song on—-but we don’t, either out of good conscience or out of fear. But deep down inside—my thoughts on the Transfer Bomb Song—–”Priceless.”
