&lt;p&gt;In honor of the company Muzak being sold (yes, Muzak is the producer of those elevator tunes everybody loves to hate),&lt;em&gt; The Wall Street Journal&lt;/em&gt; is holding an informal contest that&#39;s open until the end of the day, asking readers to submit their suggestions for the songs that &quot;best describe M&amp;amp;A or Wall Street in general,&quot; or that can be &quot;twisted into an M&amp;amp;A-related meaning.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So far, there have been some fine submissions, including Depeche Mode&#39;s &quot;Everything Counts&quot; (The handshake/Seals the contract/From the contract/There&#39;s no turning back) and The Turtles&#39; &quot;Happy Together&quot; (If I should call you up, invest a dime/And you say you belong to me and ease my mind/Imagine how the world could be, so very fine/So happy together).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You can &lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: line-through;&quot;&gt;cast your vote&lt;/span&gt; find out which song won here.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As for my submission, I&#39;d have to vote for this one (written by Robert A. Zimmerman), which I like to imagine is being sung from the POV of ex-Bear Stearns CEO Jimmy &quot;Jamaica&quot; Cayne, circa February &#39;08:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;object width=&quot;480&quot; height=&quot;390&quot; data=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/v/bng3agUOYiI?fs=1&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;rel=0&quot; type=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;data&quot; value=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/v/bng3agUOYiI?fs=1&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;rel=0&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowFullScreen&quot; value=&quot;true&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowscriptaccess&quot; value=&quot;always&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;src&quot; value=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/v/bng3agUOYiI?fs=1&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;rel=0&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowfullscreen&quot; value=&quot;true&quot;&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;(WSJ: Reader Contest! What&#39;s the Best M&amp;amp;A Song Ever?)&lt;/p&gt;
