Per previous comments and requests in Taipei, I'd be happy to do my
"best shipping-forecast impersonation" - "This is the Wikimedia
Foundation, broadcasting from San Francisco". ;-)
I would have to call up the office at busy times just to hear that. :-)
Seriously, though, I would like to see the RfA candidate song replaced
by something else... not because I don't enjoy that too, but because
it seems too inside-jokey for the "hold music".
(Maybe a selection of weird facts, combined with announcements? "If
you printed out all the articles on Wikimedia projects, they would
fill six dozen toilet tanks. But it will all fit on a DVD..." or "it
would take 50 trucks full of crazed weasels running on wheels to
provide the energy to keep Wikipedia's servers up for one day... or
100 donations from readers like you.")

not checking the math on this, and especially not going to
experimentally verify the energy output of a crazed weasel
