And while I am not a lawyer, nor do I play one on TV, you should be 
aware that using copyrighted music as music-on-hold can constitute 
'broadcast' of that music, and might result in you being obligated to 
pay royalties to the copyright holders and their license managers. You 
need to investigate the situation in the place you plan to do this.

I'll also state that while I very much enjoy that song, I do not want to 
*ever* hear it in 8kHz mono :-)
