What would be a good song to have as a ringback for an ex-significant other ...
to have to listen to should they ever call. I'm thinking about burning my own mix cd for this topic. My ringback tone is Change the Lock by Tom Petty and would definitely be on my mix cd. What other songs would you suggest for this cd?

47. Oh good grief - I thought I was the only one left who ever heard that song...
man, that album made my father and I giggle...

How about "Big Socks" by Bette Midler? (but you have to make sure you read the lyrics... they're pretty amusing).

I tried to come up with some more, but I'm drawing a blank... sorry.

49. Jaws is really funny.
I like the Jaws idea. First thing I thought of was The Bitch is Back, although the lyrics to the entire song are not completely appropriate. And wasn't there a song with lyrics "girl don't go away mad, girl just go away?" Maybe that one.

15. Voice Farm "walk away"
What a mean song, from Bigger Cooler Weirder: "I don't like your new friends and I hate your stupid hair CUT!"
This was the CD that had "Free Love!" and may have been the biggest commercial success. I couldn't find walk away on youtube but a sample is here http://www.artistdirect.com/nad/store/artist/album/0,,181456,00.html
http://www.voice-farm.com/index4.htm

Change the Lock is an awesome Lucinda tune (no bridge! a first): this youtube of her and Elvis doing it shreds.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mM2xXesHSwM

Best wishes farming the resentment ;)

28. In the vicinity of the topic
the other day an elderly gentleman was looking at the house for sale down the street. His cell phone started "ringing." It was Tarzan's yell and it was very loud. I found it quite amusing.

29. Death on Two Legs by Queen
Death On Two Legs lyrics

You suck my blood like a leech
You break the law and you breach
Screw my brain till it hurts
You've taken all my money - you still want more,
Misguided old mule
With your pigheaded rules
With your narrow - minded cronies who are fools of the first division-
Death on two legs -
You're tearing me apart,
Death on two legs
You never had a heart of your own -
Kill joy, Bad guy,
Big talking, Small fry
You're just an old barrow - boy
Have you found a new toy to replace me,
Can you face me -
But now you can kiss my ass goodbye
Feel good, are you satisfied
Do you feel like suicide (I think you should)
Is your conscience all right
Doesn't blame you and I
Do you feel good - Feel good!
Talk like a big business tycoon,
But you're just a hot - air balloon,
So no one gives you a damn,
You're just an overgrown school - boy
Let me tan your hide.
A dog with disease,
King of the 'sleaze'
Put your money where your mouth is Mr. Know all,
Was the fin on your back part of the deal...(shark!)
Death on two legs
You're tearing me apart
Death on two legs -
You never had a heart of your own,
(You never did, right from the start)
Insane you should be put inside,
You're a sewer - rat decaying in a sex pool of pride
Should be made unemployed
Then make yourself null - and - void,
Make me feel good
I feel good.

30. "Liar" by Rollins Band
Lets just say my ex and I do not get along, and leave it at that.

Actually, if he had my number, I'd have to set my phone to do something dramatic, say alert the police, light itself on fire, then douse the ashes with holy water to remove the evil spirits, if he ever called me.

43. Hell's Bells by ACDC?
Dunno if you like metal or not, but it IS a classic opening. Shoot to Kill might be an alternative.

I guess my big quesiton is WHY would your ex be calling often enough to even NEED a ringback?
