WET puts the kitsch in a musical sink

It does seem appropriate that an Italian company called WET has created what it calls the first "musical" washbasin, the X-Light™ Surround. It features a "build in amplified speakersystem for MP3 or portable CD-player". The speakers are underneath, pointing downwards.

WET already has a Meltdown sink with a built-in sound system. This multimedia sink has internal lighting, and you can add "an internal projection-shield that can project images from inside to its surface". So when you wash your face, you could have it show your company logo, coat of arms, thought for the day, or whatever.

You'd obviously use it to play Wet Wet Wet or Handel's Water Music and a bit of Schubert, but what other bands/tracks would be appropriate. Any ideas? (I see Bob Dylan has already done it.)
