What kind of ringtone do you currently have on your phone?

[NJmaverick]

Is this what you usually have?

[Iggo]

1. Electric Funeral -- Black sabbath.

I can hear it anywhere.

[bigwillq]

2. None

Mine is always on vibrate.

[kentauros]

3. TransEurope Express - Kraftwerk

but I usually get to it before it starts to play, as it's set to vibrate first.

[lildreamer316]

4. Van Halen - Mean Street; except husband is Chris Lake - Only One

I've gotta find "'Cause I Got High" to add for my best friend's ringer. LOL.

[graywarrior]

5. Doorbell.

My cat runs every time someone calls.

[kentauros]

6. I like that idea

:)

Is it just the two-tone, or one of those multi-tone ones? Maybe you should get the Jetson's doorbell sound ;)

[graywarrior]

9. Two tone.

[Richardo]

10. *Jetson's* doorbell

I'm very proud of it.

.bING..bING.....bING-BING!
(Meet..George...Jet-SON!)

[dembotoz]

7. my phone sounds like a phone

kinda original isn't it

[Zavulon]

66. +1. sadly, we're a rarity these days. (NT)

[Bertha Venation]

8. "Down To the River To Pray" Allison Kraus from "O Brother Where Art Thou"

[SacredCow]

11. A snippet of "There is Beauty in the Bellow of the Blast"

Yeah, I'm a Gilbert and Sullivan junkie- What of it? :P

[Deja Q]

[Patiod]

17. I don't think that's really the cat singing

I think it may be dubbed

[Iggo]

23. I wouldn't put it past 'em.

[blueraven95]

13. mission impossible theme song

because people keep calling me with impossible missions. :D

[Patiod]

16. Ooo! I like that one

I may replace my Rockford Files theme with it. The only advantage to Rockford is that everyone knows it, but can't quite place it, and it drives people CRAZY

[AwakeAtLast]

14. Click my sigline

;)

[Patiod]

Rockford Files theme for general use

"Buffy the Vampire" theme for my SO (our favorite show)

Theme from "Friends" for the people I like to hear from

Penn State Fight Song for my friends from school I rarely hear from

"Simple Gifts" for the people from my Friends Meeting (yes, I know the difference between Quakers and Shakers, but still)

"Crazy" for my Dad (the new one, not the Patsy Cline one)

"Turkey in the Straw" done in turkey gobbbles for my idiot redneck brother

Makes life so much easier to have some idea whose calling before I even reach into my purse. I LOVE ringtones for that reason.

[kentauros]

25. Do you include Rockford's answering machine

in your ringtone? ;)

[Patiod]

15. Deleted dupe

[Phentex]

18. Stayin Alive...

I have some different ones for different people.

[Spacemom]

19. Dream a little dream of me

as sung by Cass Elliot. :D

[Richardo]

21. That's one of my favorite songs

I'd miss a lot of calls because I'd want to listen to the whole thing :crazy:

[suninvited]

20. A little voice saying

"Let me out, I'm stuck in your pocket".

[kentauros]

44. Hmmm, nice-looking phone and ringer

[madinmaryland]

22. None. Mine is on vibrate. I hate ringing phones.

[backtoblue]

24. Johnny Be Goode

Love me some chuck berry!

[Moondog]

33. Excellent choice!

:fistbump:

[Kali]

26. the cheap free version that sounds like an old dial phone ringing

it doesn't sound very authentic but I am too cheap and lazy to find something better

[krispos42]

27. "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly"

The signature movement from that movie

"bwa-bwa bwa-bwa-bwaaaaa... bwah-BWAH-bwah... bwa-bwa bwa-bwa-bwaaaaa... bwah-BWAH-BWAAAH"

[Deep13]

28. It's a series on "boops."

It's how the phone was built. There's no way to alter it.

[One_Life_To_Give]

29. Vibrate

:evilgrin:

[Arkansas Granny]

30. It's one that came on the phone. It's loud enough that I can hear it and it's

different from anyone else that I know. I can always tell when it's my phone that's ringing.

[Ten Bears]

31. James Bond theme

[Nevilledog]

32. I love messing with ringtones.

General ringtone: Battlestar Galactica's Cylon awakening theme...a version of "All Along the Watchtower"
Text message: Yoda saying "It's a message from the Dark side" (always good for lots of laughs when it goes off while you're in a public restroom)
Work: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

[Evoman]

34. The theme from the beginning of the game "Toejam and Earl"

http://video.google.ca/videosearch?hl=en&q=toe+jam+and+earl&um=1&ie=UTF-8&ei=6B5qStrCAYWcsgOso7WWBQ&sa=X&oi=video_result_group&ct=title&resnum=8#

[Capn Sunshine]

35. an anti-ringtone

one quick "beep" and that's IT.

I hate ringtones and the baggage they represent.

[Still Blue in PDX]

36. a crow caw caw cawing. nt

[Kat45]

37. Jeff Beck - "Cause We've Ended As Lovers"

Don't get to hear it much, since I hardly ever have my phone on.

[bif]

38. "Kick out the Jams" by the MC5

It's scares the shit out of me every time it "rings".

[MineralMan]

39. Default telephone-like ringtone, but

it doesn't matter, since my phone is never on and nobody knows the number. I use it only to make calls.

[Lorax]

40. Random guitar strums

It used to be Honky Tonk Badonkadonk, but it was always too loud and sometime embarrassing. I switched it to some generic random guitar strumming. Boring. I might switch it back, but no one ever calls me so it's kind of moot.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

41. J.S. Bach, Italian Concerto, 3rd movement

[vixengrl]

42. "Back in Black" AC/DC.

It's a shame I don't take a lot of calls on my cell-phone just because I like my ring-tone so much.


Edit: Ring tone--not ring-tome. A "Book on tape", for example Bridges of Madison County, would not be any kind of good ring tone.

[dana_b]

43. 6 different ringtones

Valentine Day in Juarez - Ike Reilly
Testify - Rage Against the Machine
Marker in the Sand - Pearl Jam
You Know My Name - Chris Cornell
Audioslave - Moth
The Roots - Here I Come

[MajorChode]

45. Doo-da-da-doo, doo-da-da-doo, doo-da-da-doo-da-da

2nd verse, same as the 1st.

Best I can figure, that's the name of it.

[704wipes]

46. Louie, Louie

oooh baby we gotta go...


in a midi format - people like it when they hear it...

[6000eliot]

47. "Laugh Laugh" by the Beau Brummels.

[av8rdave]

48. Crazy Train...But it rings American Idiot if my ex calls

[PJPhreak]

49. Scarlet Begionas The Grateful Dead

[Spider Jerusalem]

50. One that sounds like a telephone ringing.

[Mojambo]

51. Holland 1945 by Neutral Milk Hotel. n/t

[Mutley]

52. I'm Shipping Up to Boston by The Dropkick Murphys

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-64CaD8GXw

I've had this one for a while.

[sarge43]

53. Eine Kleine Nachtmusik

Yes.

[rucky]

54. Inspired by House...

I have Mmm-Bop

[_dynamicdems]

55. Just the old fashioned phone ring.

There is something about tradition. I set my alerts with a variety of different sounds, but the standard ringing phone is a must for calls.

[B3Nut]

56. That irritating Adam Sandler bedtime-stories one

ring....ring ring....ring ring...RING RING RING RING....ring Ring RING....RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNGGGGG!!!!!! etc.

annoying, but funny. Got it from a coworker (yes, we IT people are sick bastidges! :D )

Todd in Cheesecurdistan

[EndersDame]

57. A recording of the Star Trek :The Next Generation Theme

Worf Say Captain incoming Message when I get a text

[applegrove]

58. I had one that came with an old phone. I loved it. When I got a new phone they didn't

have the same ring tones even though it was the same company.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

59. Generic phone calls: "Atomic Dog" (George Clinton).

Work email: "Ain't nuthin' but a 'G' Thang" by Dr. Dre (brief snippet)
Personal email: Opening chimes from "Lucy in the Sky" ("Beatles")
Text message: Pacman opening noise (sound machine makes when you put a quarter in)
Phone call from wife: Opening from "Hello Goodbye" (Beatles)
Phone call from a Boston native friend: "Dirty Water" (Standells)

etc. etc.

What can I say I love playing with ringtones.

If you use the freeware audacity program, you can chop up .mp3 songs into whatever sections you want for your ringtone. It also converts files like Apple's .m4p files into .mp3 format too.

My phone allows me to import these files directly from the computer to phone and use them as ringtones, so I have fun creating custom ringtones for almost all my friends and family.

[rd_kent]

60. Uh, a normal ringing phone sound

Still do not understand the need to have a song or a personal sound.

[Dinger]

61. Folsom Prison Blues, Johnny Cash (nt)

[Demoiselle]

62. It's a kind of low funky rhythm track...

I have no idea if it has a name. It could be just the bass track of a George Clinton piece. Anyway, it's low and funky, doesn't sound like any other cellphone ring I've ever heard (so I always know it's me) and it was the first thing the man at the cellphone store played for me. YES! I said. Sold!
I'm not exactly somebody you'd pick out of a crowd as a Parliament/Funkadelic fan,being a vaguely Waspy white lady in my '60's so I get some funny looks occasionally.

[Steely_Dan]

63. Aqualung - Tull

[davsand]

64. I have a recording of my daughter saying, "Mom, answer your phone, Mom. MOM! ANSWER THE PHONE!"

It always makes me laugh and oddly enough, I hear it when I wouldn't hear other ring tones. My phone rang the other day at the grocery store and some lady was right next to me when it rang. She started laughing.

Silliness, I know, but a whole lot more fun than some lame snippet of a midi tune.


:shrug:

[Zavulon]

65. A ringtone thatr sounds like a telephone.

You know, it rings like a phone - no songs, no quotes, nothing that wears thin on others after the first play.
