That'd be ASCAP (I think there's another one too). They're the ones known for calling up places, asking to be put on hold to listen to the hold music, then querying on whether it's been licensed or not (among other tactics).
Pretty much, unless it's music developed in-house, I wouldn't put it on the hold line unless you're willing to risk a fight with them (and even then, they're likely to make a fuss just for the heck of it).
I also suppose this is why Novell support calls are $650 per-incident -- because of the large variety of hold music you'll hear on their "support radio". Groups like Metallica, Smashmouth, etc.., even a live DJ. That all adds up....

I would advise against it right now and contact the artist. The RIAA
or the (forgot the name, they charge restaurants and stores for
playing music over the PA) would assume that if it is popular one of
their members owns it.
Other than that I would also assume your primary audience must share
your musical taste.
