While the line has much to commend it, if it's the usual sorts of
music you're trying to avoid then Girton College Surprise Major would
be a good place to start.

If, on the other hand, it's mind numbing tedium you're after, you
might want to give Derwent Surprise Major a try.

For a different sort of stupefaction, try Little Little Little Little
Penultimus Little Place Major. As if weren't bad enough that the line
is devoid of interesting landmarks, it's even boring just to say "Go
Little...". I suppose I should admit that I've rung a peal of the 2nds
place variant of this one, and even enjoyed it. It helped
immeasurably, though, that it was in hand, and that that 2nds place
lead end does add a lot more interest.
