Simple question: What's your ringtone?

Everyone has a mobile (cellphone) these days. The majority of us have MP3 ringtones. What's yours and why did you pick it?

I currently use The Shield's theme tune because the show kicks ass and the tune SCREAMS at you, so you notice when it rings.

I have myself saying "rock and roll" in like a jackass tone. It's a T-mobile blast if anyone wants to know.

The funny thing is it went off in class once and my teacher confiscated it and didn't know how to open it (it's a slider.) But you probably just had to be there.

Me So Horny from Disturbia. I say that because I forget who the group is. 2 Live Crew? I'm not sure.


But my phone fucks up even though it's brand new and it just beeps once when I get a text. I've done everything under the sun and it only does it at random times.

I like the song, but I didn't want it as my ringtone, seeing as I was trying to buy a different song and accidentally got that.
I can't spend anymore money to get a new one, so now I'm stuck with sounding like a fag or having a crappy generic ringtone :ahe:

I just imagined how completely awesome that has to be.

Mine is Paint It Black - The Rolling Stones. The funny thing is, one of my friends likes to take my phone 1st period and turn the volume up then call me. The teacher never does anything and everyone else just compliments me on how much that song kicks ass.

Texts are Sandstorm by Darude, calls are My Spirit Will Go On by Dragonforce. They used to change a lot, but I think these will probably stick for a bit. I like my calls and texts to be different, so I know before I pull my phone out if it's important or not. :fmita:

I haven't received my USB cable yet, so there's no way I can transfer mp3's on my cell phone for now. I'm currently using "Ringtone 10" that came with the phone, and it's just a kind of rock song, but in MIDI.
I think I'll get something like little kids laughing as my ringtone once I get the cable.

For the longest time I had "Never Gonna Give You Up" by Rick Astley, but when I remember that real life didn't understand my perpetual Rick Roll, I changed it to the Kill Bill theme song, then to it's current one, the 28 Weeks later theme.

General Ringtone - Hysteria, by Muse.
Husband - Such Great Heights by The Postal Service.
Best Friend - Dig by Incubus.
Alarm - Clip from the beginning of Charlie the Unicorn, where the two unicorns are saying 'Charlie, Hey Charlie, wakeup! Yeah, Charlie, you silly sleepyhead! Wakeup!'. This doesn't really make a great alarm, so I always set my regular alarm clock as well. It makes me laugh when otherwise I'd be a grouch.

I envy you completely.
My current one is the beginning of Alaska by Between the Buried and Me. People tend to like it. I also sometimes use Bottles to the Ground by NOFX. Funny story about that, I had the volume up full blast, my dad called while my mom was doing the paper work while buying her new car so we were in an almost silent, really big echo-y, serious mitsubishi car dealership and I couldn't get my phone out of my pocket. I had "one more round and it's bottles to the ground, smashing of the glass what a super sonic sound" sung in a nasally, talentless voice blasting.

Metalocalypse theme.


What isn't to love about the metalocalypse theme?

FranticYace..
02-28-2008, 2:04 PM
Heh, well, depending on who rings me, it's either the Postman Pat, Teletubbies or Rosie and Jim theme tunes. (If you're not English, you may not know wat these are. They're little kid's programmes)

So every time my phone goes off I burst into uncontrollable laughter. Really, having them as ringtones isn't convenient. Neither is having a strange sense of humor.
It quite obviously creeps people out when I'm in public.

Needless to say I get a shed load of odd looks when I get a call on the bus.

"So Easy" by Eagles of Death Metal because it's loud enough for me to hear. I've only got that now because I had to change my ringtone, which was "Teenage Kicks" by The Undertones, because everytime I heard that song I jumped and I listen to it a lot.

My text message tone is the Family Fortunes incorrect answer buzzer

Only The Good Die Young

From a live performance ol' Bill did back in the 80s. I think it sounds better than his album version. Since it's my anthem for the most part, I thought it just fit perfectly.

Before that I had Thrash Unreal by Against Me! I liked the song, and it was ridiculously loud so I was sure to hear it wherever I was.
