First time I ever booked a Eurostar ticket I got the Mission Impossible theme as hold music. This was not long after the first Mission Impossible movie remake with the helicoptor flying through the chunnel attached to a train.

Made me laugh anyway

Green Flag breakdown used to have "Rescue Me" by Fontella Bass (had to Google it to find the singer).
