What's your ringtone?

Can't decide on mine. Most of the time it's "The Reason" by Hoobastank.

1. Two low rings

Ring tones make me weep for society. I think cell phones are the eighth plague of God.

43. Mine just rings, too.

Sorta like British phones, but electronic sounding. (If that makes sense)

I'm one who doesn't care for songs on the phone as it rings. Drives me batty. Oh, and the standard Nokia ring makes me positively homicidal. A guy here at work uses that ring, and his damned phone is ringing ALL THE TIME, and LOUD!!

60. I had a girlfriend

Who's phone never stopped ringing. I very quickly developed a seething hatred for people with cutesy ring tones.

2. I have a different ring depending on who it is

Flight of the Bumblebees for my sweetie, various songs for other people. Usually it's something that reminds me of them.

3. Love that!

That's how a few of mine are. But then sometimes I end up forgetting people's ringtones so it loses the purpose.

7. That can be a problem!

Especially if you have a lot of friends. At least having a lot of friends is a "high-class" problem, as my partner says. :)

10. I view my close friends as a sort of mutual-support network

We have a good time usually. Only on rare occasions do they make me crazy. Luckily, no drama along those lines in quite some time.

I hang out with a *very* ecclectic SF crowd. Let's just put it this way, when Pat Roberts talks about the wicked SF ways...he's talking about us. :evilgrin:

18. Only problem is...

I don't have a land-line. I only have a cellphone. I'm part of the 5% or so who've snipped the cord.

I've heard about base stations that you can stick your cell phone in which then route to a 'normal' phone, but that seems like a lot of trouble to go through. :)

Your post got me thinking "I wonder if Ebay would have any?" And sure enough they do. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=38038&item=2237422713&rd=1 Bakelite, even!

16. it wasn't so long ago!

Ok, just over 15 years for me, but I had one on my nightstand halfway through college. Still remember that ring waking me up at the worst times when friends called... sleeping in was sacred.

And I only use my cell for emergencies, so I almost never use it.

19. Mine's just a simple, normal ring tone.

Edited on Thu Apr-15-04 03:07 AM by chrisesq

The one I can't stand hearing on another's phone is Bach's Toccata in D major for Organ.

You've all heard it, a lot of people have it selected, that and its an extremely famous piece. The phone completely butchers it. Makes me cringe to see such a great piece of music being tortured like that.

Yeah, I admit it, I'm a music snob.

Everyone should make their phone sound like a regular phone. You know.. ring... ring... ring... not "toxic" by Britney Spears which I heard a guy with that ringtone on his phone.

Don't worry about it. Instead you should ask people to call you more so you can annoy people more with ringtones, just when I'm not around.

42. Main one is the "Muppet Show" theme

Another main one is the Peanuts theme. I think another, less used one, is a song from the Wizard of Oz ... "Ding, Dong the Witch is Dead." What can I say, I'm a sucker for a good theme song ;)

51. Zappa, James Brown, Genesis, Phish, Keneally, Gilbert, Numan

I don't have one of those fancy phones into which you can download WAV files, so I programmed these monophonic ringtones myself:

Frank Zappa - Big Swifty, Inca Roads, Zomby Woof
Mike Keneally - Your Quimby Dollars At Work
Genesis - Firth Of Fifth
James Brown - Hot Pants, You Can't Love Me If You Don't Respect Me (actually sung by one of his backup singers, but I think he wrote it)
Kevin Gilbert - Suit Fugue
Phish - Chalkdust Torture
Gary Numan - Cars
Men Without Hats - Pop Goes The World

I started working on Yes' "Lift Me Up" and the Pac-Man theme, but I never finished them.
