What's Your Ringtone?

Postby birdmadgirl » Mon Sep 25, 2006 10:27 am

So, what is it?
I have a few.
When the husband calls, I hear "Friday I'm in Love." When one of the kids call, I hear Hedwig's theme from the Harry Potter movies. And when anyone else calls, I hear Madonna's "Hung Up."

Yes, I'm a dork, but you all know that already [:D]

"Take Me Out" by Franz Ferdinand is my general ringtone.

When a friend calls, it's "The Globe" by Big Audio Dynamite.

When my wife calls, it's "Do You Realize??" by The Flaming Lips (the part that says "Do you realize that you have the most beautful face?" Yeah, I know, isn't that sweet?)

When the ID is unknown, it's "Fight Test" by The Flaming Lips

I picked up some software called Cakewalk that supposedly lets me make ringtones for my phone. I haven't gotten around to doing it yet, because of some firewall problems. But, when I do I'll have a good Nick Cave ring tone in there.

One ringtone is enough. I hardly keep the thing on, anyway.

Just a single beep. I miss a lot of calls because of that, but oh well.

My main tone was the batman theme song from the sixties, when my wife calls it the theme song from "The Bob Newhart Show" but for the upcoming Halloween season, changed my main tone to Mike Oldfields Tunular Bells otherwise known as "The theme from exorcist"

I have two that I have purchased recently: "Pretty in Pink" by Psych Furs, and the one I'm using presently is "Smoke on the Water" by Deep Purple. Nothing like a classic guitar riff!

Just the classic ring sound -- I'm not fancy and I don't need a fancy ring tone.

Not that I'm real big on 'em but I have a cool obscure NW one: "Big Muff" from Depeche Mode -- so people gotta be 'in the know' to figure it out.

I also made a hilarious custom one for my fiancee that plays the Lassie theme with Lassie alternately whining and barking.

I usually load my mobile phone with 3 or 4 complete mp3 albums so I change my ringtones as often as my mood dictates.[:D]

My faves are The The's "This is the Day" and Icicle Works' "Birds Fly".

Current general ring tone is Franz Ferdinand's "Take me Out"

I'm not as tele-savvy as the rest of you yet - I have no idea how to do the downloaded ringtone thing.

So, I'm stuck choosing from the ones that come with the phone.

My ringtone is called "Wave."

Never had a cell phone, and likely never will. But, I guess now I know what all those sounds I hear going off are on others phones. Some sound like trains, all kinds of things.

I don;t see myself ever caring enough to have a cell phone, though I do see their use with others, just not me.
